    1. Re: [GRIFFITH] My Griffith Line
    2. Happy Texan

    3. 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.
