This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: dal622 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.griffin/6469/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for the parentage and info on early life of David Griffin b. 1808 near Charleston. According to census info his father was born in England and his mother in Va. In about 1812 the family moved to Hickman Co.,TN. It is possible that his mother was widowed at the time of the move. They lived in TN until about 1825 when David and perhaps his mother moved on to Gallatin Co., IL. In about 1833 David moved on to Cass Co.,IL where he met and married Sarah Cole in 1847. I have information on his life from that point on to his death in Iowa in 1905 at the home of one of his daughters. I am hoping a fellow Griffin researcher might know something. David may have had some brothers who also moved to IL. The family story is that our Griffin line is the same as Lewis L. Griffin of SC who moved to Georgia in the very early part of 1800 and prior to the Civil War founded the town of Griffin, GA. I need information on David from 1808 to 1847 and names of his parents and possible s! iblings. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am looking for information about a David Griffin. Mine was born in 1832 or 1833 in Conecuh Co., Alabama. He died in Arkadelphia, Clark Co, Arkansas on Nov 19, 1862 in the Civil War (confederate). I would love to know his place of burial and also the names of his parents. I THINK his father was James M. Griffin or James N. Griffin ( wife Nancy) who was in the same area in the Lafayette Co. Arkansas 1860 census and the Caddo Parish census in 1850. Would love verification.
