But I give you peticulars as far as I know. I have heard my Parents say that my grand Father Tubbs was bitten by a mad dog, and Died from the effects of the bite. And if any Tubbs should claim relationship and could recount the incident of the mad dog then he certainly was related to us. My Father had two Brothers, Richard & Samuel.
