Diane, I don't know if it is worth mentioning but my family that tied into the GRIFFINs was known to visit / hang out in Cherokee Co., NC. Perhaps I should be looking down there! Still looking for Lee and Fate GRIFFIN. Tamara G.

There were/are a lot of Griffins from NC--that's the problem with having a relatively common last name! Myy great great grandfather's name was Rufus Griffin--you would be surprised at the number of Rufus Griffins there are! Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Good luck in your search.
