Thankyou for your interesting reply. We went on the internet and began to search for things "Griffith" and variants by key word at http://www.google.com also we used http://www.dogpile.com which brings several search engines together at the same time and increases the things one can find. We turned up some castles and some stories of royalty as well. What a shame we have lost research back to 1200 but it gives us a valuable clue and perhaps we can retrace our way. As you remember details do not be afraid to share them. You may access our Stacey-StacyGriffith list at eGroups.com by simply sending an email to subscribe. Membership is free. We post things there that we hope will be helpful to our own family research as it relates to our griffith ancestors. We never throw away anything that comes along which seems like it might take us in the wrong direction. We are also willing to share. Have a good day. Arnold is our new Governor, now we'll see if he can solve the problems.

Hi Robert: Thank you for your message. My gg grandfather was James Griffiths born in Ayr, Scotland and immigrated to Pa. 1840 with wife and children. My maternal grandfather told me the Griffiths came from Scotland and Wales. As a young man his father William son of James showed him the family genealogy chart which dated back to the 1200's in Wales. Grandpa said there were kings and queens on it. His oldest sister took the chart along with the crest and tartan putting them all in a trunk and storing it in her basement. Her home was flooded and the trunk and everything in the basement had been swept away. No one else in the family has taken the time or interest to search for our ancestors with the exception of a 2nd cousin once removed started me on the research road. I am trying to track down my gg grandparents children, James Paton Griffiths being one of them. He is the only one left unaccounted for. Please do keep me in mind if you come across any info...all help greatly appreciated.

Dearest Norma: We descend from Jonas Griffith who came to America from Wales with the Presbyterians in the mid 1700's. All I know is that some of my kin say that we are welch, others Irish, and many say Scottish. I got this from early correspondence with Diane Hansen who lives in Arizona and Ann Stacy Keller who lives in Texas (my best guess). Since Ireland, Wales, Scotland and the UK are rather close together the Griffiths must have been mixed up in the citizen of what country thing. You may recall that the Scots and the Welch were saying, as males, that they were "English" by marriage! So we are now discovering the source of that information. I have not heard of James Paton specifically, but have some record of a James P. Griffith --somewhere. I will earmark it and get back to you when it comes past my eye.

I'm not sure who you are looking for or who you have excluded as this is the only message I have read,but here is my try: Mary "Polly" Riggs, born august 14,1768.She was the daughter of Samuel and Amelia(Dorsey) Riggs.She married Henry Griffith,eldest son of Henry and Sarah(Warfield) Griffith in 1790 in Maryland(Rockville).She died on Jan.21,1846.Had issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, Dennis. I've only seen a few references to her and she was Mary. No reason why I shouldn't look for Polly. I just never thought of it. I've been looking at the Griffith families in Montgomery and Frederick 1790 and 1800 census records. I keep going back to the sons of Greenberry Griffith and Ruth Riggs. I also realized that she might have been a Griffith widow, rather than a daughter. I'll get this figured out ONE OF THESE DAYS !!

Hello -- trying to find information on William GRIFFITH who married Louisa BRYANT in Walton Co., GA on Feb 2, 1833. I believe Louisa's father's name was Samuel. They later moved to Paulding, which later became Polk, County and raised a family. He would have been born c. 1797, probably in Georgia. I have them on the 1850 and 1860 census of Paulding Co. Would appreciate any information on these two -- have desc. to share. Thanks! Kitty Johnson Corvallis, OR

Mary Griffith married Barton Harriss in 1802 in Montgomery Co. MD. The big published Griffith genealogy does not include a Mary marrying Barton Harriss. There are two or three Mary Griffiths of the right age with just a birthdate. Perhaps my Mary was one of those or another Mary entirely. Can anyone identify the parents of Mary Griffith Harriss? I've never gotten anywhere on this and ANY help would be tremendous. Linda

At last, a break in my research for the father of John W. Griffith of PA and Boone County KY. After finding an obituary for John W. Griffith's son, William H. Griffith, there is a mention of Grandfather, William: "Mr. (William Henry) Griffith was born in Kenton County, near Covington, May 4th, 1838 and was the eldest son of John W. Griffith, a native of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Elizabeth Carpenter-Griffith, a daughter of Rev. Wm. Carpenter, a pioneer minister who came here from Virginia. Mr. Griffith's grandfather, Wm. Griffith, resided on the Brandywine River and his home was Gen. Washington's headquarters during the revolutionary war, and four of his brothers lost their lives on the battlefield for the independence of their country while another brother was so maimed in that sanguinary conflict that he never recovered his manly vigor." Does anyone know of the Griffith family from the Brandywine River, or the Griffith family that fought in the Rev. War with Washington? I'm hoping this rings a bell with someone and we can connect. Thank you! Carol in Boone County ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag

Hi Sharon.... Yes...the parents of Nancy were Alexander Wells and Leah Owings. Nancy was b. 12 Jan 1758 Baltimore, MD (I think). William Griffith was b. 7 Nov 1755 Frederick Co., MD. I am descended from their daughter, Michal b. 2/15/1781 who m. Richard Wells. I've posted inquiries, off and on, for several years. A few months ago, someone on the list said that William Griffith's parents were Greenberry Griffith and Ruth Riggs. But other than one posting on the web, I can't find any corroboration for that claim. Greenberry did have a son named William, but I can't find any information on that William. Do any of the names above ring a bell with you?

Hi Joanna.... The info I have, whether right or wrong I don't know, is: William Griffith b. 7 Nov 1755 Frederick Co., MD m. Nancy 'Ann' Wells b. 12 Jan 1758 Baltimore, MD. Children were: Michal (my 3X G-Grandmother) b. 2/15/1781 m. Richard Wells Alexander b. 8/10/1783 Rachel b. 5/6/1785 m. Moses Gregory & Thomas Chapman Helen b. 5/10/1787 Anne b. 4/17/1789 William b. 5/1791 John b. 10/18/1793 m. Mary Smith Leah b. 3/15/1796 Rebecca b.6/12/1798 m. William Baler Margaret b. 8/28/1800 Nancy Joanna b. 5/6/1785 m. Hugh Chapman I have a feeling some of the above children are mixed up with the children of William Griffith who was the son of Greenberry and Ruth Riggs. Someone on this list told me this was the correct parentage for my William....but I'm not sure of that as I can find no source other than one on the internet. Every book I have seen and other sites on the web do not have any info on William of Greenberry. Does the name Michal who married Richard Wells mean anything to you? I hesitate to post another inquiry on this list, as I usually receive no response other than the one recently which I believe gave me incorrect information...or at least it's uncorroborated.
