I've ran into an interesting delema.There seems to be some discrepancy about Thomas Griffis.In two seperate accounts I have a Thomas Griffis who was born ~1695 in Haddam, Middlesex, CT and died Sept. 5 1757 in Cornwall, Litchfield, CT.Both accounts have him getting married Feb. 12 1717/1718.However one says he married Sarah Borden (daughter ofof John Borden and Mary (Marah) Tillotson).The other says he married Sarah Belden (daughter of Joseph Beldon(Belding) and Mary Willard).There are similar names amongst their children, i.e. Sarah, Jonathan, Isabell, Mary and James.The Belden account also has a Thomas who died at about 6 years.The Borden account shows, in addition to above, David, John, James (2), and Daniel.It's also interesting to note that some of the dates of birth/death are the same for the children that are listed in both accounts.
My family record shows our ancestor, my Great Grandfather to the 6th, as Daniel Griffis born Apr. 9 1737 in Litchfield, CT.
Obviously there's been a cross refernce that has went wrong somewhere!
So, I'm on a quest for the parents of Daniel Griffis b. 1737.Is his mother Sarah Belden or Sarah Borden?It's hard when there seems to be little proof!
I do appreciate any help I can get here!!
