Tom, John W. Griffin lived in the 1st C. D. of Hardin Co. TN in 1860 and is enumerated as follows: John W. Griffin 30 NC Mary 28 TN Nancy 9 TN Sarah 7 TN John 5 TN Mary 3 TN Julia 1 TN I note that Mary has been given a different birth date in 1860. The 28 probably should have been a 23? That would make her 13 when she got married. This family is not in the 1880 census of Hardin Co.
