My grandfather died in the world-wide pandemic of 1818-1819 which wasn't listed on the website below. Notes for Joseph Peeple Griggs: Although no death certificate was located, it is known that there was an influenza pandemic in 1918-19 that claimed thousands of lives. It is believed to have been a type of swine flu; 20 million lives were lost world-wide, 675,000 in the United States alone. C.
