The Tubb Connection:

George and Mary lived in Orange County, North Carolina, before 1790 they moved to Greenville, South Carolina, settling near the present day town of Travelers Rest. A mountain near this town is named "Tubbs Mountain" and a road that passes around the mountain is called "Tubb Mountain Road." According to a reported historical reference this mountain and road were named for George Tubb. Shortly before The Revolution they moved to Tyron County, (now Rutherford County) North Carolina.

George and Mary may have been married in Orange County, North Carolina. Some sources say Mary was a Turner before she married George, but we have no proof yea or nay. Mary may have died before 1800; the census index has a female over 45 in the household. George and Mary lived in Orange County, North Carolina prior to the American Revolution, but shortly before the Revolution they moved to Tryon County, (now Rutherford County) North Carolina in 1761.

George Tubb furnished horses for the Revolutionary Troops. A pension was recorded in 1800, No. 6765 for George Tubb. At a meeting of the head of Enore Church in November 1799, a report of the constitution of Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Pendleton County, South Carolina entered the Bethel Association, one of the delegates being George Tubb. The Tabor and Tubb families organized the Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Oconee County, formerly Pendleton District.

When Susannah was born (per Susannah's application for William Tabor's Revolutionary War pension), George bought 195 acres from John Stanford on the First Little Broad River in Tryon County, North Carolina; witnessed by William Capshaw, Abraham Hargis and John Fisher. (Book unknown page 50-51; July 25, 1774.) George and Mary sold this land to William Graham of Lincoln County, North Carolina; witnessed by Morris Roberts and William Mc?; Book ?; Page 411, November 14, 1784.

George could not write; he made his mark as an " X " on official documents.  :They moved with their daughter Susannah Tabor and other members of the Tabor family. They appeared in the census records for South Carolina, Pendleton District and Old 96 District. At the bottom of "Tubb Mountain," (now northern part of Greenville County, South Carolina) where it is believed that some of the older family members died.

Parents

Family tradition states that George and William were brothers, that their father disappeared, their mother remarried and they were bound out. Note this is all by tradition only, there is no indication of names for either of these parents. They are represented on Wikitree by Unknown Tubbs & his wife Unknown Unknown.

Modern internet efforts to identify parents have created a father, John Tubb, born about 1675 in England, and a mother, Rebecca Capshaw, born about 1700. At this point John and Rebecca are loose conglomerations of facts that don't fit together. There is no proof or evidence that they are actually the parents of George and William, nor is there actual proof that George and William are even brothers.
