Cathye, I sure thank you for the reply and the data you shared. I don't know why I didn't think to check Huxford's work before I posted. I see he says in POWG, that the age for James Griffin given in the 1850 Cenus is probably wrong, and that he was closer to 57 than 47 as stated. Also, his wife Nancy was older than the age given. I do not see a Susannah or Susan A. listed with this family there either. Maybe this is a strike out. I just got my hopes up when I saw that he had some daughters in the right age-range on the 1840 Census. Thanks again! Sharon ====================================== Sharon, Here's what I have on this James Griffin, who is one of my direct ancestors. Your Susannah is not listed among the descendents that I have in my database. Looking at the 1840 census data that you listed for the females, there were 1 dau between age 0-4 (that would have been Ellender), 1 daughter between ages 10-15 (Sarah), 2 between ages 15-20 (Nancy and someone else - I'm not sure who since the death date I have for Nicey is 1833) and 1 older female who is the wife Nancy Burnside Griffin. Hopefully we have others on the list who can add more. Regards, Cathye Griffin Betzel http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/e/t/Cathye-Griffin--Betzel 1. JAMES3 GRIFFIN, SR.
