STUBBS

Whilst there would appear to be confusion on the spelling of the surname, it is to be noted that there was a Robert Stubbs, labourer, at Greetham in the Military Survey of 1522, a bill man and one of the young men and poor of the parish. In subsequent 17th century handwriting, the ST of Stubbs may simply have appeared as a fancy T.
