Hello List, I am searching for more information pertaining to a William GRIFFIN, born 1 April 1832 to a William and Ann (maiden name unknown) GRIFFIN in Ireland (location unknown). The family (father, mother and five children) emigrated from Ireland via Liverpool to NYC, arriving on 1 June 1844. William married (time and place unknown) a Honora GARVEY. The family (William, Honora and six children) lived in or near Memphis, TN between approximately 1860 to 1874. He then lived in San Francisco, CA from approximately 1875 to 1884 (enumerated erroneously as John GRIFFIN in the 1880 US Census) and sailed trading vessels between San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands in addition to working as a stone mason. Honora GRIFFIN died about 1885 (time and place unknown). William then lived as a rancher in Ponil Park, Colfax County, NM with his eldest son (John) and daughter (Margaret) from approximately 1885 until his death in 1902 in Raton, Colfax County, NM (enumerated correctly as W.R.GRIFFIN in the 1900 US Census). William was survived by sons John J.GRIFFIN, Maurice S. GRIFFIN, Edward E. GRIFFIN and daughter Margaret H. ASHBAUGH. Any information regarding William GRIFFIN in Ireland and/or the USA would be most welcome. Thank you all for your time, interest and help. John Griffin _GriffInn1@aol.com_ (mailto:GriffInn1@aol.com)
