Joseph's son Daniel's mother-in-law, Phoebe Smith, is a daughter of Nathan Smith and Elizabeth Robards Smith. I am researching John Griffin (born c. 1810) whose son William M. (b. c. 1837) married Jane Elizabeth Smith, a daughter of Thomas A. Smith and Margaret Ligon Smith. Thomas is a brother to Phoebe. I believe John Griffin and Joseph Griffin are brothers. The oldest son of Thomas A. Smith and Margaret Ligon Smith, Oscar Bennette Smith (b. 1845) married Lelia Walker (b. 1861), a daughter of Hal B. Walker (b. 1838). Are you related to these Walkers? I believe the Smith, Ligons, Farleys, Robards, Walkers and Marshalls all came into the Henderson, Kentucky area about the same time from the same area near Nottaway, Virginia. Edna Griffin apparently came in the 1820s. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
