Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/1214 Surname: GRIFFIN ------------------------- I posted on 22 June 2000 but thanks to a researcher from Lone Grove, Carter Co. I now have more Facts about my Grandfather, THOMAS GRIFFIN. Thomas GRIFFIN died of heart failure on 26 February 1909 in Carter Co. OK. He is buried in Lot 9 at Rose Hill Cemetery in an unmarked grave, however I am in the process of placing a marker on his grave in hopes his name will be added to the Rose Hill Cemetery list. Thomas was born in March 1851 in AL. and both his parents were born in SC. He married Olivia Sumpter MORRISON d/o Alexander Rhodes MORRISON and Louisa Davis HALE, in 1894 in either AL or North GA and they immediately migrated to Chickasaw Nation, later Carter Co. OK. Thomas GRIFFIN was a merchant and a farmer. Thomas also had two cousins, Jeff GRIFFIN and his sister Alice GRIFFIN COE and her husband Ben COE, living in Wilson, OK in 1909. After the death of Thomas GRIFFIN, his wife and 2 children continued to live in Ardmore, OK until the 1920's and then sold their land and moved to South Texas. It is possible there were other members of the MORRISON and GRIFFIN families that also migrated to OK in those early days. At this time I do not know the names of Thomas GRIFFIN's parents, however, I would very much like to find descendants of Jeff and Alice GRIFFIN COE's families as well as any other GRIFFIN Family members and share information with them. I will continue to post to this site as I find more information.
