Notes
James Griffin Sr.
Andy Jacobs Jan. 29, 1998:
I am looking for info on James Griffin, Sr. 1793-1860 and Nancy Burnside 1798-1859. I need to know if they had a daughter that married John J. Johns in Charlton Co., Ga. I am also interested in any info on James Griffin and family.
On the 1840 census of Bryan Co, GA is a William Griffin (20-30)
Moved to Ware Co, GA
