Nathaniel Grubb (c.1693–1760) was a Willistown mill owner who served ten years in the Pennsylvania Colonial Assembly from 1749 to 1758. A member of the Quaker religious sect, he broke with the Society during the conservative reform movement and sponsored important legislation promoting military preparations for the French and Indian War.[1] His politically incorrect comments about the Scotch Irish are still quoted.[2]
