I am looking for any information on Monroe Griffith for whom the small town of Monroe OK was named( It was at time still Indian Territory.) I have heard that he was an Englishman, and had come west and acquired land. He married Mary Magdalyn DE HARTE who I have born around 1850 dying around 1889. She may have had relatives in St Louis. She was said to be French and Indian. They had nine children eight girls and one boy, Johnnie, who was killed as a young man. Monroe died in 1884 when my maternal grandmother was only six months old. Her mother died when she was six and she was raised by her eldest sister Arizona. Sure would appreciate any help. Either with the GRIFFITH family or the DE HARTE name. Thank You. Betsy Horst, Miami
