Leah, Thanks again for the info Does it go beyond William Griffith? Can you direct me as to where I might follow up? I was able to verify the Joplin MO, and Hattie Anna Marx, is verified OK, she was raised on a reservation. Thanks again, Clint

Clint, That was all the information in the book. You might check the Kentucky Census for 1850, it would show his parents; however that probably would be an arduous task. Isn't it interesting that they both died in 1883, wonder if there was an epidemic or something? Could there be a write up in the paper, an obituary that tells where they were born? You also might check death records for them, they may or may not give you other information. Sometimes you can hit a goldmine with deeds that say 'John Smith of Whatever, Kentucky' which would show the location they were in, when the land was purchased. Do you know this Wilkerson lady, she may be related to you, and could have other information that would lead to clues. This book was published some time ago, and Mrs. Wilkerson may no longer be with us, but may have children that were interested. I do wish you great luck! Isn't it fun being Sherlock Holmes?
