Note: NotesWilliam Tubb â Orange County, NC
The first record for a William Tubb in the southern colonies is his inclusion on the 1755 tax list of Orange County, N. C. (William Perry Johnson, p. 108). John Tubb, whose relationship as a son to William Tubb is proved by a slave deed (devised 1802, South Carolina) recorded in in Perry County, Alabama ( recorded 1822) and recorded in Perry County, Al, states in his Revolutionary pension that hewas born in Orange County, NC. on 6 August 1758. This proves Williamâs location in the mid to late 1750âs, but at this point, I do not have evidence that George Tubb was in Orange County at thesame time.
I have photocopies of an index which records the sale of land by William Tubb in Orange County in 1766. Title Page Record of deed I did check the Carolina land grant records for William and George Tubb with a negative result. I have checked the index to Granville Grant records and the Tubb name is not included.
Tryon County, North Carolina
Tryon County was formed from the western portion of Mecklenburg County in 1768 and named after William Tryon colonial Governor of the State, who later became the colonial Governor of New York. Manypresent day counties in both North and South Carolina were completely or partially included within the borders of Tryon County from 1768 to 1779. These counties were Burke, McDowell, Polk, Rutherford,Cleveland, Lincoln, and Gaston Counties from North Carolina; and were Spartanburg, Cherokee, York, Lancaster, Greenville, Laurens, Union, Newberry, and Chester Counties from South Carolina. The approximate boundaries of Tryon County, NC for 1768 can be found at, http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/tryonmap.htm.
From this information it appears that the Tubbs removed from Orange County, N.C. some time between 1755 and 1769â1777 when the Tubb deeds (extracts below) were registered in Tryon County. Wm Tubb sold his land in Orange County NC in 1766. This indicates that the Tubbs began their migration from Orange to the Tryon area in 1766 (just before the formation of Tryon County) and completed this moveby 1777 when William Tubb bought his land in the county. Tryon County was dissolved in 1779. Lincoln County was formed in 1778 and Rutherford was formed in 1779.
I do have notes of Tubbs in Tryon County, North Carolina in the 1770âs:

[ From the deed of James Capshaw to Richard Tubb it can be seen that there were Tubbs and Capshaws in Tryon County in the 1769 to 1777 time period,. However, those records do not document that a Rebecca Capshaw, presumed by researchers to have been born in 1775, married a John Tubb.] · A Deed of Sale from David Thompson to William Tubb for 240 acres of land dated the 1st Day of March 1777 proved by John Lusk Evidence thereto.
