Hi all! Here's another of my lines. I descend from Fredrick and Ruth (Osborn) Griffith through their daughter, Ruth. Lewis Fredrick Griffith was born on April 3, 1790 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Abel and Elizabeth (Swartz) Griffith. Fredrick married Ruth Osborn in Bedford County about 1811. Ruth was born on March 24, 1792. It is unknown who Ruth's parents were. Fredrick and Ruth moved to Greenup County, Kentucky in 1819, and then on to Adams County, Ohio in 1820. The family moved to Lawrence County sometime between 1820 and 1830. They were first in Elizabeth Township, then in Mason Township, and finally in Symmes Township by 1850. They had the following children: 1. Elizabeth Griffith, born about September 1812 in Pennsylvania. She married first David Lanthorn, and secondly, Walter Neal Jr. She died on February 22, 1898. 2. Benjamin Griffith, born in 1813 in Pennsylvania. He married first Prudence Lanthorn, and secondly, Elizabeth Madill. He died January 11, 1874 in Kentucky. 3. Mary Ann Griffith, born on March 13, 1816 in Pennsylvania. She married Samuel Burke. She died on September 1, 1872. 4. Jane Ann Griffith, born in 1817 in Pennsylvania. It is unknown what happened to Jane. 5. Lewis Amos Griffith, born on August 1, 1819 in Center County, Pennsylvania. He married Zeralda Stewart. He died on January 31, 1878. 6. Cynthia A. Griffith, born on April 23, 1821 in Adams County, Ohio. She married George Washington Stewart. She died on August 1, 1875. 7. John Oscar Griffith, born on February 8, 1823 in Adams County, Ohio. He married Amy McCartney. He died in August 1899. 8. Thomas James Griffith, born on January 15, 1826 in Ohio. He married Elsie (Alyse) Jane Townsend. He died on October 31, 1907. 9. David Griffith, born on May 25, 1829 in Lawrence County, Ohio. He married Martha Jane Stewart. He died on March 11, 1882 in Ceredo, West Virginia. 10. Nancy Griffith, born in 1832 in Lawrence County, Ohio. It is unknown what happened to Nancy. 11. Ruth Griffith, born on April 15, 1835 in Lawrence County, Ohio. She married John H. C. Stewart. She died on June 19, 1919. 12. Naomi Griffith, born in 1838 in Lawrence County, Ohio. It is believed that she married Thomas M. Smith. It is thought that she died between 1882 and 1900 in Wisconsin. Fredrick died on December 31, 1865. Ruth died on May 8, 1868. They were buried in Griffith Cemetery in Aid Township. I am currently researching this family. I have a lot of information, but I am certainly hoping to fill in some of the details, especially what happened to the daughters, Jane, Nancy, and Naomi. I'd love to chat with other descendants or others involved with the families that the Griffiths married into. Thanks! - Jean Griesan Colorado [email protected]
