Is anyone researching a Griffith line in Broome County, New York (1840 - 1880)? Cathy'

Lynn, I have Evan Griffith b abt 1793 in NC, married Elizabeth (NLN) and had daughter Elizabeth born there in 1821 and son John in 1827. They moved first to TN around 1830 and had sons Daniel b 1833, son Amos b 1836 and then on to Texas around 1840. I have all this from later census records and haven't found anything on Evan in NC or TN. Does this fit in with your NC Griffiths?

Lynn, (my middle name) There are several Griffith Books, one being by R. R. Ridgley, which probably has that line. The Griffiths I have in Virginia scattered all over Tn, Ky, etc. There is also a book by a lady whose name I can't recall right off, but she has a collection of Griffiths, though not in any organized order, things on Griffiths folks sent to her. Have you seen any of these? Mine is the Griffith/Maccubbin line, and it seems they vanish as I try to get them 'across the pond'. Anyone have further info on these?

Do you know which line came to NC? I have a William Griffith in Surry, Stokes and Forsyth Counties in NC (about 1780) that I am unable to trace back any further. His wife was named Susannah (Waggoner by tradition-no verification). Any help would be appreciated.

Don't rule out that time period between generations, as that Griffith/Maccubbin had several generations out of whack. A bit more distance than usual. What did they name their children? That will give you a clue if she is from that line, the same names were used continuously, and even though the fathers always liked to name after their side, the wives got their family names in as well. I checked some of my books rather quickly and the Willetts are there, and the wife is Mary, but when I have more time I will check further. Names of the children will help determine that particular line. Some of this G/M line went to N.C. There is also a line of Griffiths in Pa., separate family from the G/Maccubbin bunch.

We're all having trouble with the apparent gaps in generations. We have to remember that wills were written long before the person writing them passed on and things can change re names and locations, especially of female offspring. For example a testator can mention his daughter by her given birth name knowing that she may marry or remarry and change her last name by the time he dies. Still, to him, she is still his daughter "Mary Griffith". With regard to our own griffith ancestor, Jonas Griffith it appears there were two of them, or so it would seem at first blush. When the older one in the town would die, the younger then would become Sr., before when both were alive the younger was Jr. ...etc...... Also many of the griffiths were members of indian tribes, mostly cherokee from what I know, and when on the indian rolls, if successful in enrolling upon them, they became non citizens in the sense that they could not vote, were not counted in the Federal census, etc....so some may have indian connection and that means names can change when the subject moves from one family to another, etc... Robert Stacey descendent of Jonas G. Griffith His daughter, Rebecca Griffith married my ancestor, and great great grandfather William Stacy around 1820 in Jackson County, Tennessee. They later moved to the Springfield Rotary in Greene County Missouri and settled in for a long and happy life with many children at Little Beaver Creek on what is now called the Anderson place. --- GRIFFITH-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > GRIFFITH-D Digest Volume 04 : Issue 8 > X-Message: #1 > Date: Sun, 09 May 2004 20:52:07 -0400 > From: Gordon Bonnet <jaggy227@fltg.net> > To: GRIFFITH-L@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: <409ED237.3080102@fltg.net> > Subject: Mary Griffith m.

Hi all, I'm looking for any documentation of the origins of Mary Griffith, b. ca. 1710 probably in Maryland, who married William Willett. References differ as to her origin, and no one seems to have much primary documentation on her. I've seen her listed as the child of George Griffith, b. late 1600's, d. 1756 in Dorchester Co. MD; others say she is the child of John and Mary (Stevens) Griffith. I don't have any further information on either George or John's family which might help narrow the search. One piece of information which would argue against the "George hypothesis" is that in George Griffith's will, 1756, his daughter Mary is still called "Mary Griffith" and not by what would be her married name of Willett -- Mary (Griffith) Willett was married in the 1730's. This would seem to indicate that George's daughter Mary is not the Mary Griffith who married William Willett. Some sources indicate that the John Griffith who married Mary Stevens is of the William Griffith/Sarah MacCubbin line, but this seems unlikely -- there isn't enough time between William Griffith and Mary (Griffith) Willett to fit in the required number of generations. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to send more details on any of this information if anyone's interested. cheers, Gordon Bonnet Trumansburg NY

Hi List, trying to find any one searching Griffith in IN. My GG Grand Mother was Sarah E. Griffith- I have nothing on her or her family, just know she married Sanford W. Briddell- Briddle- Briddel, 9- 16-1855, Aurora, IN.,Dearborn County. Sanford was b, ca, 1835, so I'm thinking she's in that age group as well. I found "John Griffith & family living in Aurora IN.,(1850 census) with a daughter named Sarah- can she possibly be mine? On her son( William Briddell, b, 1857, IN - died, 1937 OH.) death certificate, it gives his Mother's birth place as.. Charleston, IN. Many thanks Katie k.t@core.com
