Hi there, My "Griffin" relatives came from Whimple, Devonshire, England. Several of them came , but the main ones were Henry and Charles Griffin. Henry came a few months before the start of the civil war, and signed up with the First Michigan Cavalry, and rode with them until he was captured by the Rebs at the Battle of Second Manassas. My wife's relatives were in the Confederate Army, and mine in the Union Army, but in spite of that we get along famously. s -----Original Message----- From: griffin-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:griffin-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of JDixon8671@aol.com Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 5:31 AM To: griffin@rootsweb.com Subject: [GRIFFIN] David & Lewis L.

I known Ezra and Martha later moved to Louisiana and their male children were Alfred, George W. and Ezra P.
