Just for the heck of it, I thought I would throw this out there. My GRIFFIN Kin are from Alcorn Co. Mississippi and Tishomingo County Mississippi. beginning around 1853 to the present day. If you have GRIFFIN marriages in MS, give me a name and I will check and see if it fits my data base. (Before MS this Griffin line goes back to Union Co. N.C.) Also, I am searching for the parents of Cleminie or Clemontine PHILLIPS b. 1852 of Alcorn and Tishomingo Counties in Mississippi. If you have PHILLIPS in your line from these counties in MS, I would like to hear from you. After reading O'Beirne's book, I am hopeful that this line married into the Chickasaw Nation (would sure explain the Griffin presence there later in the 1880's and 90's) Nalora
