Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter?read=1132 Surname: GRIFFIN ------------------------- My Grandfather, Thomas A. GRIFFIN b. abt. 1855 in AL (according to census records) died of fever in Carter Co. OK abt. 1910 when my Mom was a small girl. The only members of his family she ever met was a Cousin Jeff GRIFFIN and Cousin Alice and Ben of WILSON, OK. I do not know if Alice or Ben was the 'Griffin cousin', therefore unsure of their surname. [In census records Thomas said both his parents born in SC.] Thomas GRIFFIN married Olivia Sumpter MORRISON abt. 1894 I and they moved to Chickasaw Nation Indian Territory & later to Ardmore, Carter Co. OK where they bought a small farm owned a grocery store. My Grandmother continued to operate the store after Thomas died and later bought some additional property. During the 1920's Olivia sold all the property to the Ringling Railroad for a Switching Yard. [An old friend later told Olivia's daughter that the area now is home to a shopping mall.] In 1924 Olivia & her children migrated to TX. I'm sorry but this is just about all I know but I would like very much to make a contact with and get to know my Grandfather's GRIFFIN Family. Nell Adair Lewis
