To Peter Ramsey: The following is what I and other have determined are the children of Daniel Alexander Griffith. Not all this research is mine but comes from Marvin Raney, Gary Griffith, Sonny Griffith and Kathy Veasey. By studying marriage records and census records I believe this outline to be correct. If you have other evidence to contradict it, I would like to know it's origins. Hope this clears up alot of misinformation. I just hope this posts okay.
