I believe the Sarah Griffin mentioned is my gggg-grandmother, daughter of John Griffin and Martha Jones. Sarah married Thomas B. Bloodworth and moved from Edgecombe Co., NC, to Sumner Co., TN in about 1797. Thanks. Joyce

Hi Joyce, The transcribed will of John JONES, Sr. as well as that of Benjamin JONES, Sr., his son, can be found at the Mecklenburg GenWeb page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vameckle/wills2.htm > I believe the Sarah Griffin mentioned is my gggg-grandmother, > daughter of John Griffin and Martha Jones. Sarah GRIFFIN, the granddaughter mentioned in this will, was the dau. of Francis GRIFFIN and Philadelphia JONES, dau. of John Sr.. Francis was her 1st husband who d. 1765; Philadelphia then m. Robert YANCEY. She had 3 children by 1st m. and 11 by 2nd. I have no other info on Sarah GRIFFIN. I just recently was able to come up with a good transcription of the will of Robert JONES who d. in Mecklenburg Co. in 1771. The copy was poor and several people have worked on this. I will send this to the Mecklenburg site soon. Best wishes, Ron Jones
