refnum=91001735The William Grubb Farm, also known as Conway and Brook Manor, is located near Charles Town, West Virginia. Built "circa" 1763, the house is a "stone-ender", with stone masonry at the gable ends of the house and log construction on the long sides, now covered with clapboards. The complex includes the house, a well couse (1920), a corn crib ("circa" 1850), a barn ("circa" 1850) and a Quaker burial ground, "circa" 1759 and onwards. The settlement of this area began by 1743, with a grant of land to John Grubb, followed by Grubb's sons' purchased of the land in 1753. The property was expanded by 1762 by grant from Lord Fairfax. By 1800 a mill had been built, which operated until 1935. The house was expanded in 1880 by Warren Eby. The Bullskin Run Quaker Meeting House was on the property, but does not survive. citation|title=PDFlink| [http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/jefferson/91001735.pdf National Register of Historic Places Nomination: William Grubb Farm] |1.30 MB|date=July 1, 1991 |author=Patricia Perez|publisher=National Park Service]
