==Early life and Marriage==
Sarah Pim was born in 1746 at Mountrath, Queen's County. She was the first child of the wealthy Dublin wool merchant John Pim and his wife, Sarah Clibborn of Moate Castle. She was related through both her parents to the most prominent Quaker families at that time.〔Harrison, R.S. ''a Biographical dictionary of Irish Quakers'' 1997〕 The Pim family moved to Middlesex in 1771 where they mixed with fashionable Quaker society in and around London.
In 1778, Sarah Pim married John Grubb, a wealthy flour miller from Clonmel in Ireland. Although a very wealthy family, the Grubbs chose to live very plainly and simply,〔Evans. J. ''A Journal of The Life, Travels and Religious Labours of William Savery'' (1844) London〕 in the Quaker tradition, in their comfortable home at Anner Mills. They provided hospitality to numerous Quaker travelling ministers e.g. Catherine Phillips, William Savery, Thomas Reddan and Elizabeth Fry
After John Grubb's death due to overwork in 1784, Sarah Pim Grubb ran the mills herself with the help of her brother Joshua, a Dublin banker. She was independently successful as 'Sarah Grubb, Miller and Corn Dealer'〔Business Directory of Clonmel, 1787〕
