BENJAMIN CHUBBIC is descended from an early family of North Strabane township. His grandfather, also named Benjamin Chubbic, was a sailor, and in early life was married to Bathsheba Harvey. In 1811 he retired from sea-faring life and settled with his family in Washington county, Pennsylvania. Harvey Chubbic was about six years of age when his parents moved to Washington county, Penn., where his early life was passed. In 1833 he was united in marriage with Mary Ann Runey, who bore him children as follows: Elizabeth (wife of William Watson), Robert (deceased), Benjamin (of whom further mention is made), and Margaret (married to James Auld, of Ohio). Mrs. Chubbic died soon after the birth of her youngest child, and for his second wife the father was marred to Rebecca Grable. To this union there was born one son, Philip. The father was a successful business man, and won his way to fortune by tireless industry. In politics he was a Republican. He died August 4, 1890, the wife and mother having passed away two years before. Benjamin Chubbic now owns and resides upon the old homestead. Like his father, he advocates the principles embodied in the Republican party. The family are all members of the Chartiers Presbyterian Church. He is unmarried.
