This is the Same family of Silas Griffin who was married to Adeline Griffin--as they named their children after Silas' siblings and uncles--and in the 1900 Census Silas' step mother Sarah was living with him and his wife as she was then a widow." Question: Will you go to the Madisonville, Madison County, Texas genealogy website and look at a picture at an old Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery. http://www.txgenweb4.org/txmadison/fs_griffin.html My Mother that was born in Madisonville, Texas told me many years ago that the parents of James Noah Griffin came to Madisonville to visit him. His parents were John Griffin and his step-mother was Sarah Sally Crutchfield Griffin. We think (no proof) that the above it the grave for me and that they perhaps died in Madisonville. The Primitive Baptist Church is next to the small cemetery and is likely the church some of the the Madisonville Griffins attended. I know that my great-grandmother, Frances J. (Hale) Griffin, wife of James Noah Griffin, was a Primitive Baptist. I gave her old book about her church to my sister after the death of our mother, Lella Otis (Griffin) Brown. After Hale Noah Griffin and Mexie (Mathis) Griffin, my mother Lella, and James Noah Griffin and his wife Frances J. (Hale) Griffin moved to central west Texas, Coleman, to escape the mosquitoes in Madison County, my mother Lella went with her grandmother on the train from Coleman to near Abilene to atte! nd church services at a Primitive Baptist Church. I have seen that you have Sarah (Crutchfield) Griffin as dieing in Florida. Do you have a cemetery and grave site and/or possibly a picture? I do so hope that you do. I have copied all of your message and sent to my brother that is retired from the Oil Patch and lives in New Zealand. Dan is the one that introduced me to genealogy. Before he retired, he had a woman in Texas that did much of his family research via snail mail to the Far East.
