My grandfather married Ina Faye Owen and had one son, William Randolph Griffin, in Chickasaw, Ok. in 1923. I was always told my grandfather was from Alabama but little else was known. My sisters and I are just starting to research our family tree and this would be exciting if we found a link to the Griffin family.

McCrory you refer to here IS Andrew Jackson McCrory's daughter. John J. Griffin and James M. Griffin (my gg-grandfather) were brothers - the sons of Joel Griffin, son of John Griffin - and they married sisters Nancy and Mary, respectively. James M. Griffin and Mary A. McCrory were married in 1867, moved to MS, and had a son, James M. Griffin, Jr., born in 1868 in MS. I'm trying to find evidence of either her death or a divorce between them: Obviously something happened because James M. Griffin Sr. remarried in 1870, just after the census was taken, to 2nd wife Nancy E. Sims and had children with her. His son James M. Griffin, Jr. - who went by 'Jesse' - is never listed with James M. Griffin Sr. and 2nd wife Nancy and their children. I'm having no luck so far finding 2 year-old James M. Griffin, Jr. in the MS or AL census'. I suspect James Sr. gave the boy to relatives to raise, but don't know who - his family or hers? He came back to AL and was living with Joel again in 1870, but without James M. Griffin, Jr. Did he bring the boy to AL and give him to the McCrory's or did he leave him in MS with the Griffins? Still a mystery to me. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate your sharing this info with me. [There is another 'James M. Griffin', born about the same time, who is listed as the son of Elihu (E H) Griffin in Etowah Co., AL and I've noticed at least three family trees here on Ancestry.com have mistaken placed him as the father of my grandfather, Walter L. Griffin, born in Bibb Co., Al in 1902. He definitely is not. While they are both "James M. Griffin", my grandfather Walter's father, James M. Griffin, was born in MS and spoke of having lived there as a child, of the family's plantation, etc. Elihu's son, James M. Griffin, was born in AL as were his other children - the family never lived in MS. The two Griffin families may be related some generations back but I can't confirm that they are.] So I've been trying to find out what happened to James M. Griffin, Jr. - my gg-grandfather - between his birth in 1868 in MS and his turning up in the 1910 Bibb Co., AL census married to 'Mary Anne' and listing my grandfather Walter Lee Griffin and his brothers Edward L. and William (Willie) K, and their sister Jewel (misspelled as 'Jeval' in the census.) I know Walter's mother Mary Anne died shortly after the 1910 census was taken and the children were sent to live with relatives. My grandfather told of watching his mother die; that his father was very ill as well and the children he thought he was dying, too. He two of them (Walter, 9 and Edward), on foot with instructions to follow the railroad tracks, to their maternal grandmother in Chattanooga. Edward L. Griffin can be found in the 1920 Hamilton Co., TN census living with James and Ida Ball, his aunt and uncle. The other two kids - Willie K. and Jewel - were supposedly sent to other relatives too, but Walter never knew where they were sent and never saw them again. For his sake - and my father's - I'd like to know. Appreciate any help you can provide. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Her sibling, Cornelius Manning, b County Kerry @ 1834, immigrated to SF, CA, USA, @ 1860 and became a Jesuit Brother in 1867 and d @ 1912, Los Gatos, CA, USA. Brother Cornelius Manning, assisted his cousin, Maurice Prindiville, b @ 1840, County Kerry, and his wife Hannah Sullivan (Prindiville), b @ 1840, County Kerry, to immigrate to San Francisco and then on to San Jose, CA. Jesuit records listed parents of Cornelius Manning as, Michael Manning and Catherine Prindiville. Prindiville Family "folklore" of over 100 years, indicates that Maurice Prindiville was from Castleisland, County Kerry. More family folklore indicates that he married a peasant girl, who lived near the Lakes of Killarney. Because of this marriage, Maurice was purportedly disowned by his family. I am looking for any birth, baptism or death records (including tombstone information) on the families of these individuals. Also, looking for names of Townships 1834-1844 that would have view of the Lakes of Killarney and names of Catholic Churches for those Townships, in order to assist in locating records. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bob Ahern San Jose, CA Graeagle5@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Ok, here is what I know. My dad John Griffin was 75 years old when I was born. His dad Capurse died when my dad was 3 years old. He is burried in the Burton Cemetaty in Blackville. The tomb stone I believe says Capurse...or C, can't remember right now. My dad told me that there was a really bad winter and his mother and her husband were traveling thru blackville in a covered wagon and her husband got really sick. They stopped at Mr Griffin's house and her husband died so she married Mr. Griffin who was also widowed. My dad was the youngest of his siblings. I knew Aunt Lizzy and aunt Maude, they died when I was a little girl...Aunt Maude died first. I never knew Belle or Lee....I think Lee was married to Mr. Conway. I knew my dads nephew Ted Conway, he lived at Beedeville and we used to visit him. He had lots of children...my favorite was Pat, I believe he lives around Batesville now...not sure. I never knew Belle either, but I knew her son or ! grand son Roy Madden. His grand son Mitch Reid has don an extensive family history on the Walker family. My e-mail address is barbara.cullison@bmhcc.org if you want to just e-mail me directly. Sorry for rambling on, but it is just exciting to me to find someone who knows about this family. Oh also I had a half brother R.A. who was 45 years old when I was born. He died about 4 years ago, but he had 3 daughters. Also I have never heard of your grandmother. Do you think she was a half sister to my dad? I only ever heard about 5 half brothers. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Wow! This is exciting. I would be more than happy to share what I know of this family. Mind you it's not alot. And I'm sure there are several mistakes but hopefully I can correct them as I make my way around the family line. So my understanding is that your father, (John) and my great grandmother (Mary Emma Jane Griffin) were siblings. According to cenuses records there was several siblings and half siblings. You mentioned Lizzy(May Elizabeth), Belle & Maude as sibs to your dad, (John). There was also a Leona married to Archie Conway, Julia Griffin, I don't know if she grew up to adulthood and married or if she died young and then there was my great grandmother. All 7 of these people shared the same parents.Capurs Columbus (aka) Tabors Columbus, I haven't quite figured his name out for sure yet. But he was married 3 times, I think. Had families waith all 3 wives (subject to change). Can you shed any light on this? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
