The Chubbs not only chronicles the lives of the members of this pioneering family, it also educates the reader about the social and political climate along the way. The Chubbs builds upon the foundation laid in the Chubbs of Chubbtown and answers many unanswered questions. - Kenneth J. Jones, Author, The Chubbs of Chubbtown As the official genealogist for two national hereditary organizations, I have researched the histories of over one hundred African-American families. Most have been very difficult to trace prior to the year 1865 owing to the lack of records available before the end of slavery in the United States. The Chubb family story is almost unique in that the progenitors were free men and women of color. The first person to carry the name of Chubb in America was actually a Caucasian woman whose family immigrated to Maryland from the English county of Cornwall. Her relationship with an African American indentured servant began the odyssey of a strong, determined and independent family of Americans who thrived in spite of laws and institutions designed to keep them in some sort of bondage. Chubb family members fought in the American Revolutionary War and the War Between the States. They fought for economic and educational equality. They fought in our nation's churches and on playing fields to demand their rightful places in society. Their story is one of inspiration and courage. They made no excuses. They survived and thrived. The Chubb family stands as an example for us all to follow. - John Wells. Historian, Newnan, Georgia As a member of the Chubb Family, I remember growing up hearing many things about how hard the family worked and that everyone had some gift. They came together using their different talents. We see this today in this family endowed with a multitude of talents that they use to help Chubb Chapel and other people around this community. One of my favorite scriptures is: Joel 1:3. It states; "Tell your children of it and let you children tell their children and their children the generations." I want to thank God for all the past generations and the new ones to come. To God Be Glory for this book of the Chubb history. - Cynthia Akers, Chubb Family Descendant Dr. Whatley shares her family's journey during the gravest time for Blacks in America and they thrived. This is more than a story; it's a message of strength, resilience, and devotion to survival during adversities. The book is a true lesson of endurance. - Vesta Zubber, Educational Dynamix
