Ria, Thanks for your response. The GRIFFITH farm (occupied from 1805 or 06) was located on Hensley Hollow Road, Forks of the Pike. That original tract of land was added to,and then divided (as Jonathan GRIFFITH(Jr) gave (or sold) various parcels to his own sons when they,themselves began farming. A GRIFFITH occupied at least a portion of that land until the 1940s. There are at least three,perhaps more, GRIFFITH plot family cemeteries on that farmland. . I have been to the Jonathan GRIFFITH(Jr)(my ggg) granddad cemetery and the Moses GRIFFITH(my gg grandad) cemetery on that land. The 3rd GRIFFITH cemetery on this farm I have not been too. It was overgrown(even in 1970) when an older relation told me about it--don't know who is buried there. But I have been to New Hope Church Cemetery, and have seen the marker for Jonathan GRIFFITH (SR) That road where New Hope is located, apparently comes out on the backside(getting near Forks of the Pike and Liberty) of the original GRIFFITH(Jonathan Jr's) farm. Now, as far as Edith GRIFFITH and her death (STB abt 1803) the only info I have, is near Sykes and/or Hickman Creek.The GRIFFITH bunch apparently first settled there, during/or after /migration from NC, but family lore said it was too swampy and disease infested--Edith(the mom,Mrs. Jonathan GRIFFITH Sr) died, Moses(Jonathan Jr's first child was born there, whom he named Edith, after his Mom.(Incidentally, this newborn child,was Edith(called Endy or Edy GRIFFITH, who later married James YEARGIN) I also have gathered from family lore, that beside the death of Edith, his wife, and the birth of his granddaughter,Edy; Jonathan GRIFFITH Sr's also lost his(only) cow and horse .They died-.---(hard times, for the GRIFFITHs, but don't know which event they considered the most disastrous--?Loss of the wife or the horse?) I don't know what records to check around that area. (It's so hard, looking for documentation records for any female)I do not know where to look for burial....So, as far as location, the only help I can give you, is some place that is near a creek or swampy area,near that location, but older family members did say Smith County.(however, big Smith Co was at that time--1802 or 03) You see why I said "Brickwall". The sons of Jonathan GRIFFFITH Jr. who obtained farm land or farms around that area and/or are buried around that area are Moses GRIFFITH(dob 1806)(the eldest son and my line) David GRIFFITH(dob 1807),John GRIFFITH(dob 1809),Elias GRIFFITH(dob 1811),Amos GRIFFITH(Dob 1814),Peyton GRIFFITH9dob 1819,and William GRIFFITH(dob 1822). I have records of the Moses,Elias,Amos,Peyton,and William GRIFFITH's burial locations. Do not know where David or John GRIFFITH are buried. There were also three daughters,Edith'Edy" GRIFFITH(dob 1803) whom I mentioned married James Yeargin, Elizabeth GRIFFITH(DOB 1816) who married (1.)Green Adams and (2)John Hays and Nancy GRIFFITH (dob 1820) who married Allen Jones. Names help some times---Maybe these names will help somehow. Thanks again-----I look for to a positive result.
