Source: Mary Ann Griffin vs. Henry Griffin-Divorce, Monroe County (IN) Civil Court Records, Box 319, Monroe County History Center, Bloomington, Indiana. The item below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from an original document in the file. In September 1877, Mary Ann Griffin sued her husband, Henry Griffin, for divorce. She said she had been a resident of Monroe County for at least six months prior to filing her petition. She said she married Henry in Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana, in 1870, and soon afterward he began to mistreat her terribly and banished her from the home about two years ago. No children were noted in the petition which suggests that there were no children.
