 England
Clubbe is an Anglo-Saxon name. The name was originally given to a maker of clubs. The surname Clubbe originally derived from the Old English spelling Clobbere. It was commonly found in the area of Farndon, Cheshire where the family first lived. Early Origins of the Clubbe familyThe surname Clubbe was first found in Farndon, near Chester, which "seems to have been the habitat of the family." [1] So at to prove the point, the Wills at Chester included the following entries: Hugh Clubb, of Farndon, 1588; John Clubb, of Holt, 1607; Francis Clubbe, of Farndon, 1695; and John Clubbe, of Worthenbury, 1689.

Migration of the Clubbe familyAt this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Clubbe arrived in North America very early: Thomas Club who arrived in Virginia in 1654 and Elizabeth Clubb in Virginia in 1663.
