My grandfather William Lewis, Jr was married to Mary John daughter of Thomas John who lived in Loudoun County, VA. William's father is William Lewis that married Jane Griffith 1740 in Philadelphia County, Pa. The Griffiiths that were listed in the tithables in the 1760's in Loudoun Co., Va are : John, William, Richard, and David Griffith. Possibly their birth records would have been 1740's are prior to that. I know there were Griffith's in Chester County but don't know much about the surrounding PA counties. One other item in Loudoun Co., Va is a record for William Griffith for an appraisal of 30 Dec 1776 for farm and household items. The settlement was with Excors Jonathan Myers and John Williams, beginning 1783 mentioning Martha Griffith. I am attempting to prove Jane Griffith's lineage which might include the list below at the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia Co., PA. I am wondering if any of this group moved or might be kin to the Griffith's in Chester Co., PA. ? I am really having a problem connecting these Griffiths in Philadelphia Co., Pa to others in surrounding counties. Any information would greatly be appreciated especially on the Griffith line. Thank you very much, Marianne Dillow These are marriage records where my Wlliam Lewis married Jane Griffith in 1740. They made a typo stating 1704. It is in the 1740 time frame.
