I also recommend that you consider doing a 37-marker Y-DNA test with the FTDNA GRIFFITH/GRIFFIN surname project, because I know of no proven descendant of the early Edgecombe Co.

The cost for 37 markers is only $119, but if any interested parties can go the extra 80 bucks it is well worth it to make matches much more precise. The "GRIFF" project is now up to 161 submitters of DNA for "Y" chromosome testing from all over the world and includes surnames Griffin, Griffiths, Griffith, and may other surname variations.

Author: bbahler Surnames: Shannon, Griffin Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.griffin/197.924/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Private Samuel Shannon NOTE: I am not related to any of the following individuals, and have only posted this information as a courtesy to others researching them: "Another of my ancestors also participated in the Revolution. Samuel Shannon was born in New Hampshire sometime before 1750. He initially enlisted as a private and served for ten months in Captain Daniel Reynold's Company in Colonel Stephen Peabody's Regiment from February 12th, 1778 to January 4, 1779. This regiment served in Massachusetts and Rhode Island during part of this time. His rate of pay was £4.10 per month. His brother John served with him. "After the Revolution, Samuel moved to Vermont.. There were a number of Shannon's (including a different Samuel Shannon) living near Exeter and Rye, in Rockingham County, New Hampshire (about 30 miles North of Boston) during this time. These Shannons were probably ancestors and close relatives. I believe Samuel Shannon may have been descended from a man named Cutts Shannon, who fathered many Shannons in New Hampshire. "Samuel Shannon became a Shaker (a religious sect) in later life. Shakers lived celibate lives and died out. Thankfully, Samuel waited until after he fathered John Shannon to become a Shaker. Otherwise, none of us would be around to read this. We don't know the name of John's mother. On January 6, 1792, Samuel married a second wife, named, Lydia Griffin in Chester, Rockingham County, New Hampshire." - From the following website: http://www.154thny.com/154thnyReborn/FamilyHistory/geneology.aspx Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
