History of the Tubb Family by George M Tubb as written to his neice, Maggie Tubb circa 1912
Origin of the Tubb Family which is now very large but come from a very small beginning.
In the early part of the 18th century was only one person, and Englishman name Tubb, settled in the eastern part of what is now the United States, married and after two sons were born he disappeared from the country, whether of his own will or the act of an enemy I do not know. After this his wife married again, and these two boys were bound out and grew to manhood under considerable disadvantages. And when grown both married and raised large families. And from these two families they increased very rapidly. One of these sons raised a boy named George, the other a girl named Elizabeth, married and raised five sons and five daughters, namely: Richard, Isaac, Jesse, Nathan, and James; their daughters were : Martha, Mary, Phoebe (I an not sure as to her name) Haren Happuck, and Elizabeth. George Tubb moved with his family from South Carolina to Tennessee about the year 1808 and settled in Dickson county on Barton's Creek, and next year moved to Johnson Creek in same county, and lived at that place until he died in 1835 or 1836. Richard, his eldest son, married, and the year of 1820 or 1821 moved with his family to Alabama. Isaac married and settled near his father and raised three or four children, but died before they were grown. His widow with her children moved to Alabama before they were grown.
