Death: Mar. 21, 1886 Brown County Kansas, USACollingwood, son of Joseph and Sarah Talley Grubb, was an entrepreneur who became a Kansas farmer and stationmaster on the Pony Express and Overland Stage.
An ardent abolitionist, he was said to be a close friend of John Brown. In 1826, he apprenticed as a cabinet maker in Philadelphia and five years later started his own business in Media, Pennsylvania. About 1835 he married Rachel Ann Bailey and moved to Clermont, Ohio.
They had two children before she died in 1837.
In 1838 he married Sophia Charlotte Webb of Shelby County, Kentucky. They lived in Putnam County, Indiana, for 19 years and had eight children.
In 1858, at the age of 48, C.C. (as he was known) moved his family to Brown County, Kansas. They traveled overland to St. Louis where they boarded a steamboat up the Missouri River. His plan was to build a new town and he constructed a large house that also served as the post office and station on the Overland Express. However, the railroad ultimately located several miles north and C.C. developed his 300 acre property as a farm.
He was remembered for his knowledge of apples and in 1874 won an award for a display of 51 different kinds. After Sophia died in 1883, he married Lottie Nugent.
