But I'm gonna throw another wrench in the cog.... Jacob Griffin, b. 1770-80. He was in Grainger county, Tn. So far my findings are looking like two distinct Griffin clans. William & Thomas in Jefferson Co. and Jacob in Grainger Co. Looks as if William, Thomas and Jacob could have been brothers. Would love to share notes and theories.
