We have many questions about this family and are including data from three census reports. There are many names and many changes We are descended from Kattie age 1 in the 1880 census. By 1900 she was a stenographer in Boston and in 1902 our Katherine married Ernest Young. We are particularly interested in names of parents of William S. Griffin as well as his wife Rachel and Asa's wife Rachel G. Any data and leads would be appreciated.
