Interested in learning more about this William GRIFFIN, d. 1812, Edgefield District, SC, and about his siblings, including brother [named] Vincent GRIFFIN, and possibly James GRIFFIN, and their relationship, if any, to ARW Veteran Michael GRIFFIN, of Columbia County, Georgia & of Edgefield County, South Carolina.....seek identity of Rebecca's maiden surname and identification of children, if any, prior to William's death, and any remarriages of Rebecca LNU Griffin, widow....
Would like to correspond further with researchers of these families.
