I also have Griggs out of Halfmoon, NY. John and Hannah Scouten left and came to Alburg, VT about 1783. John's brother Abraham left too and went to Noyan, Que which is just over the line from Alburg. John and Abraham's parents were Alexander Griggs and Hester Frear. I don't have a birth place for either of them or a marriage. For Alexander's parents I have Alexander Griggs and Mary Hossy. I don't remember where that last bit of information comes from. Perhaps the Internet. I don't know if it is correct either. I always wondered what kind of place Halfmoon was around the time that the Griggs family left. I had heard that it was an Indian trading place where a lot of merchandise that would be needed was sold and or traded. Does anyone know anything about the Natives and interactions of Halfmoon? ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
