Below is a link to my database for that John Griffin, who had a son Lewis who's older than your Lewis: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=kmcmahan&id=I21822 Below is a link to my page for my brick-wall ancestor, John Griffin Sr. who died 1840 in Pike Co., AL: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=kmcmahan&id=I10013 You may want to consider doing a 37-marker Y-DNA test with the FTDNA GRIFFITH/GRIFFIN surname project, as you might match someone who has traced his ancestry further back than you have. Good luck. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list. If you would like to reply to them, please click on the Message Board URL link above and respond on the board.
