Grubbs-89 and Grubbs-249 appear to represent the same person because: Marriage to the same Sarah Hearne with whom he had eight or nine daughters and one son named Higgason. The dates are similar and wife's name is only slightly different . SOURCE: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/61157/images/46155_b289627-00534

The children Thomas Grubbs-89 and William Thomas Grubbs-249 are both to old to have been the children of Thomas and Isabell (Polk) Grubb. They will be removed when alternate parents are found. (Similarities between these two child profiles make me think they are the same person -- a William Grubbs, of unknown parents, who died in 1775 Kentucky) See:

SPRAKER, Ella Hazel, "Samuel Moody Grubbs, a descendant of the Boone Family", (North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 [database on-line], Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 2016).

Thomas Grubb (c1715-1779) and Isabella Polk (c1715-1807) are both about 8 years old and to young to have a son born in 1722. I suggest they be removed as the parents of Thomas Grubbs-89. Is it possible that Thomas Grubbs-89 is the same person as William Thomas Grubbs-249 who is also to old to be a child of Thomas and Isabella?

Thomas and Isabella are NOT my entries but Thomas find a grave says there is NO birth date and the death date is 1779. You will have to contact the profile manager for Thomas and Isabella and have him do the research. They are the parents of William Thomas Grubbs who is my entry. I had no details other than from the Hearne family.
