    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: ChuckSexton98 Surnames: Griffin, Scarbrough, Adams Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.griffin/6658.1.1.1.1.2.2.2.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Nancy, It appears that you and I should compare notes on our Griffin research. I linked to the Griffins of Barbour Co., AL, when a great great aunt, Elizabeth Rebecca Scarbrough married Thomas Absolom Griffin (b. GA) in adjacent Russell Co. in 1861. They farmed in the Cotton Hill area for several decades before moving into Eufaula proper in their elder years. These Scarbroughs (Elizabeth, her mother, and siblings), Griffins, and Adams were all closely associated with one another through the Civil War era and thereafter. My own great grandmother Martha Jane Scarbrough was actually living in the household of Fabian Adams (a son of Lewis Nashwell Adams) in the 1870 census, and there are many other tie-ins. I have a copy of L. H. Adams, Jr., book "History of the Adams Family" (publ. 1981) which focuses on the Adams which came through this region. I'd be happy to do look-ups in that volume. You can also get to my Griffin information via my genealogy web site on RootsWeb at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gcwarbler/index.html Follow the link there to my "Sexton Family Web Site" and search for the Griffins or Elizabeth Rebecca Scarbrough as a starting point. I completed a research trip to the Barbour/Russell Co. area in January 2005. I have further notes which are not reflected on that web site.
