Richard's father is John Griffin, born 1708 in Wales, England and died 1742 in St. Thomas Parish, Orange County, Virginia. Do you know John's parents names - I saw something with (?)Griffin. Do you know anthing of where this family originated - Ireland or Scotland? I appreciate any help you can give.
