J. or Thomas Jefferson Griffin was about 25 or so in the 1860 census for Midway, Barbour County, AL. As far as I know T J may have been a cousin of James Bartlett Griffin and it is hard to say whether he had a sister or not. A great many folks relocated after the ravages of the war, and a lot of them to TX. I know that T J married and moved on from AL but I don't think that he could be your Thomas because I think he was born in the 1830's. There are researchers who are T J's descendants on these message boards. I have not researched family for some time now and am recalling this from memory. There are many who went to the county around Tyler, TX. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
