Sniffing out
Clues to ..............
The Griffith
families
On these pages you will find my
Griffith lineage.
There are several
theories concerning this family.
William went to New Castle
Delaware.
His story starts in the York
County Pennsylvania Records below:
-
2nd report comes
from a letter contained in the Gilbert COPE collection which stated that
three brothers, John, William & Griffith GRIFFITH, came in 1682. They
set sail in September 1, 1682. They shipped at Deal, a seaport town
out side the Straits of Dover on the coast of the county of Kent. Gilbert Cope collection also shows: William Griffith
(d.London England) his
three sons : William (d. age 105 at Warrington), John, Griffith emigrated in
1682. They all left descendants. They don't appear to be Quakers. Not all of
Penns colonists were Friends. William (d. age 105) had three children: William
(our ancestor), Sarah md. a Mr Clark, Deborah md. Benjamin Delaplane. [inf.

-
3rd report comes
from my cousin, Verna. She has in her possession a journal that has
been handed down in the family. She reports of a letter
to David Griffith by James Griffith written in the 1877. James tells
virtually the same story as the 1892 account that is in the files of the
York Co. Library in Pennsylvania. In Verna's journal a part was added
later about our
ancestry and the fact that the brothers names were, Orlando, William &
Howard.
