We have a Gribben ancestor.Catherine Gribben (Gribbon?)was born in 1774 in Ireland and died in 1857 I believe in Iowa.She married Owen Fitzpatrick in Ireland and they had two sons that I know of.They were Thomas Fitzpatrick and John A. Fitzpatrick (my ancestor).There is also a John Gribben listed in an 1850 Dubuque, Iowa census living at the same residence as Catherine and Owen and the rest of their family.At the time the census shows Catherine as being 74 and John Gribben as 27 so he must be a nephew or something.It also shows that he is married and from Ireland.That is all I have on the Gribbens (Gribbon)but I am still researching.I know that Owen was from County Down, Ireland, Parish Kilcoo.It's likely that Catherine was also from the area.
