It is a possibility you are related to the William Griffith and Sarah Maccubbin line, certainly would merit exploring anyway. Benjamin was a name very prevalent in the Orlando line, and some of them lived in Frederick county Md, some also moved to Va. My line is from Orlando's brother William, so I don't have much on the Orlando desecendants. They were published a great deal more than my William, and several books have a lot of information on that line. It would certainly be worth checking. From the Early Families of Southern Maryland, Revised, by Elise Greenup Jourdan: "Other publications with more about these families (referring to Griffith) Anne Arundel Gentry 1st Edition; Maureen Duvall of Middle Plantation; Anne Arundel Gentry Vols 1 and II, by Harry Wright Newman; The Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties by J. D. Warfield; Nottingham Quakers 1680-1889, Alice L Beard; Quaker Records of Southern Maryland and Quaker Records of Northern Maryland by Henry C. Peden, Jr." Hope this helps, and best of luck, Cheers, Happy Texan ----- Original Message ----- From: <WXWXWXW@aol.com> To: <GRIFFITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2003 8:44 AM Subject: [GRIFFITH] My Griffith Line > I'm at a brick wall with my earliest Griffith ancestor - Benjamin F. > Griffith. > Maybe this can help some other Ohio Griffith's.

My Griffith Line begins with Captain David Griffith, a sea captain, my immigrant, coming from Wales, probably via England, and settling in New York (Nassau Co., so I am told) in the 1700s. He married Sarah Winslow. He owned at least one ship; the "Sarah". (see NY City Library) Their son, of the same name, became the Rev Dr David Griffith, born in 1742 who married Hannah Colville, of NY. They moved to NJ briefly, then to several places in VA (Leesburg/Shelburne Parish and Alexandria (two locations both in Alex but today the Glebe House is located in what is Arlington, VA. They also lived in Old Town Alexandria). He was the first bishop elect of VA in the Episcopal Church. He was elected but not consecrated bishop shortly after the Rev War. There were no funds to send him back to England to be ordained and he apparently he could not come up with the funds himself after the Revolutionary War when money was tight for all. He was a surgeon prior to going into the ministry, studying medicine in London. He was a friend of Lafayette and a friend/kinsman of George Washington. He was the 3rd rector of Christ Church, Alexandria, VA at the time of his death. He died at Bishop White's home in Philadelphia (the house is standing and open to the public in downtown Philly not far from Christ Church. It is open to the public and operated by the National Park Service) so I have been able to go into the house in which he died. He died Aug 3, 1789. He was buried the next day, Aug 4th, in the churchyard of Christ Church in Philadelphia. He died while attending a church convention. The convention was stopped to bury and honor this distinguished churchman who contributed much to the early organization of Episcopal Church conventions. The Rev Dr David Griffith had the dual commission in the Rev War, of Surgeon and Chaplain. He was at Valley Forge and was captured there by the enemy. Not a hand was laid on him as prisoner, as he was well known and respected, it seems, even by the enemy. (Charles Lee, the Englishman, and traitor (Rev War), is also buried in the same churchyard. Ben Franklin declined to be buried in the churchyard proper since other of his family were buried in the extended church cemetery. Franklin chose to be buried with his family members). Dr Griffith's wife, Hannah, died in and is buried in Alexandria, probably Christ Church graveyard, according to the death announcement in the newspaper. There is a grave that was purchased by Camillus Griffith, the son, but no record of who is actually buried in that church yard plot. It is reasonable to "assume" that his mother is buried there since her husband was a former rector and no records have been found that show either her son's or her burial to date. Camillus moved out of Alexandria at some point so that further leads me to assume that his mother is most likely buried there but that is an assumption. Their son was Camillus Griffith, a merchant in Alexandria, VA. He was married to Eleanor Williams, dau of Dr. E. O. Williams, of Berkeley Co. VA. He moved out of Alexandria at some point to Westmoreland Co., VA. They were married in Berkeley Co., VA on April 26, 1814. They lived in Westmoreland Co., VA. Have not found records to date that indicate where he or his wife lived/their home, or their burial locations. According to the Alexandria Gazette, dated 25 Jun 1839, page 3, Camillus died a week before, exact date unknown, in Westmoreland Co., Va. Their son was Edward Colville Griffith who married Julia Rebecca Hungerford, of Westmoreland Co., VA. They lived at "Twiford," their large farm/home in lovely historic Westmoreland Co., VA., the home (Westmoreland Co.) of the many early presidents, close to Wakefield Plantation (now known as Pope's Creek Plantation - a lovely home on the river), George Washington's birthplace. The Hungerford's and Griffith's lived at Twiford for a few generations, a lovely home situated on the river as well. The home is c. 1711. (a Washington married a Hungerford and a Hungerford married a Griffith so Washington-Hungerford-Griffith are related). Their son was David 'Ap Hungerford Griffith who m. Rosa Fielding Griffith, his second wife, my grandmother. (His first wife was Lucy Nelson Locke.) They were married in Orange, VA, at "Rose Hill," the home of her aunt and uncle, Judge & Mrs. Williams on Jan 10, ? (taken from a newspaper clipping of their marriage/no year indicated). They resided at Twiford, Westmoreland Co., Oak Grove, VA. Grandfather was buried in the Hungerford-Griffith family cemetery, with his first wife, in Leedstown, VA - a small private cemetery near the river that many do not know about. Grandmother was buried in Fredericksburg, in the Confederate Cemetary, with her mother, two brothers, and a brother in law. Her father was Brig Gen (select) in the War Between the States, George Edward Tayloe. Their son, was my father, William Tayloe Griffith m. Mary Miller Griffith, of Culpeper, VA. They were married in Culpeper, December 7, 1940 at her parents home, "Meadowbrook." Meadowbrook became their home. Both died and are buried in Culpeper. My parents had five children. I am the eldest of my parents offspring; Mary Colville Griffith, living in Fairfax, VA. If there are cousins out there who read this I would love for you to identify yourselves to me and add whatever you might be able to, to the above. I hope this information has been helpful to someone. I would love to meet/know cousins from my grandfather's first marriage, of which there were five children, four who reached adulthood, and produced offspring, to my knowledge. Please let me know who/where you are, if you read this. I would love to meet you.

Does anyone have a Persis Colton b. 1839 who married an unknown Griffith probably in PA. Thanks for any clues. "Purry" was my gr grandfather's sister. Carol

Griffith Researchers, If you have not seen the following, they maybe of interest. Don't forget they may have dropped the "S" or added it at some point in time.

Hi: In 1861 a June convention was held and W.T.Willey (Waitman T. Willey) and J.S. Carlile were elected from United States senators from Virginia. They replaced J.M.Mason and R.M.T. Hunter, who were adherents of the Confederacy. The seats of Mason and Hunter, had been vacated. This is mentioned in a book I am currently reading called "The Divided Union". I do not know if the Willey mentioned above is any relation to Noah Willey, mentioned by Emily Matthews, but one never knows.

Hello Griffith folks, Just wanted to tell you that I have a Benjamin Griffith with sons William, Harrison, Moses, Samuel and several daughter's. This line of Griffith's were in Wayne Co. IN in the early 1820s and moved to Miami Co. IN in 1840. Benjamin married Martha Martindale. I am searching for a grandson Clarence Burl Griffith who died in Syacuse, NY Nov. 1968, Need obit. <A HREF="SnOOOpy839@aol.com">SnOOOpy839@aol.com</A>

A Roll Call is a good idea. For me, I might suggest instead that those who are interested in knowing where my GRIFFITHs are to go to my RootsWeb WorldConnect website (or, Ancestry Family Trees--it seems to be at both sites) to see those I have there. They begin in Colonial days U.S., Sussex Co., Delaware and in Maryland. The database changes constantly because I'm lucky enough lately to add about 200 names each week (not all GRIFFITHs, by any means, but a few have been), so the list fluctuates greatly all the time.
