John Samuel GRIFFITH, b 1831 ; KY and MO
John Samuel Griffith, b. Kentucky in 1831; married Demaris BRINK 1852 in Fayette Co., Kentucky. Moved to northwest Missouri (Kearney, Clay Co.) Looking for his parents' names and any other background. Thanks!
26 Jan 2010 - Still looking for the names of John Samuel GRIFFITH's parents; his father's name may have been Jefferson, but I cannot be certain because there was more than one John Griffith born in Kentucky in 1831 who later settled in northwest Missouri.

Thanks very much, Dora! I'll add this to the file. I have also found out recently that John Griffith's father's name was Jefferson, and that he came from Kentucky and lived in Indiana a few years before getting to Jackson Co., Missouri. John's mother's name is also in the census, but can't quite be made out. Emily,(above)was my great-grandmother.

beth: I am ggranddaughter of same here. I have much on family too but need to know where you got Evans as middle name.
I believe you may have put two families together. Louisa F. Griffith married Levi Phillips. Griffith is common name. Let's help each other.
