I have felt like the long Ranger doing research on the RICHARDS. My grandfather was Thomas Campbell Griffin and his brother Marion Sheppard GRIFFIN was married to DOROTHY RICHARDS. His older brother IRA GRIFFIN was married to VEINE RICHARDS. I am just finding out there is a connection with the TAYLOR family. Now , this is where I found my GRIFFIN family connected to the RICHARDS. They both married into the WILLINGHAM FAMILY. JOHN WILLINGHAM's daughters lived in Fayette Co., Al. and Tuscaloosa Co., Al. I am the 5th generation of ROANNA WILLINGHAM and GEORGE A. ROBERTSON. They moved from Fayette Co., Al between l850 and l860. Eliza Willingham married into the Richards family. In fact I find Nancy and her brother living with Roanna and George after the civil war. I am in the process of moving and have moved some of my information and am trying to recall by memory, so please understand. My greatgrandmother AMANDA FRANCES COOK married MICHAEL GRIFFIN. Amanda was the daughter of Roanna and George A. Robertson. Her sister married into the MORAN FAMILY. We visited in Frankston during the late 50's and early 60's. We have the Saunders connection and a Sanders connection. I have been trying to find the GREEN CONNECTION. Did you know the Eliza's sister married into the FREEMAN family? Eliza's brother and sister married into the POE family. Would love to add more information, but this has already become a lengthy reply. My email address is ddcmmg@aol.com. and I live in Conroe, Tx. I try and go to Palestine and Frankston at least 4 times a year to do research and attend a Campbell and Cook reunion. Janie Davis has started a workshop in the fall . She is related to Elizabeth Willingham and Daniel Cook. It has been a great source of information, but even more fun connecting with family from long ago. I wonder would they have every guessed that their greatgreatgreatgrandchildren would have met each other. What a thought!!! It is interesting to also learn of the sacrifies made by those who went before us. Sandra
