Name Meaning & Origin

Cemetery records

  • Wayne Co, OH Grave Registration Cards for the Griffith and Haverstock veterans buried in Wayne Co, OH

Census records

• 1865 Illinois State Census for Elisha Griffith in Bond Co, IL • 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 US Census for Charles Haverstock Griffith in Bond Co, IL • 1860, 1870 and 1880 US Census for Edward Trigo/Trego in Crawford Co, IL and Johnson Co, MO

  • I am still not sure of the relationship between Mary Griffith and the two young teens (Elizabeth and Rachael) residing with her in the 1850 US Census. I am only guessing Mary is a grandmother. It is possible she is related differently. I am hoping that some additional answers may be discovered for you in Bond Co, IL.

Land records

  • Wayne County, Ohio Land Deeds involving Benjamin Griffith and Elisha Griffith

• Wayne County, Ohio Land Deed for Elizabeth Griffith, brother to John Griffith and daughter to Evan and Rebecca Griffith. I believe this is a collateral line to Mary Griffith, possible grandmother to Elisabeth and Rachael Griffith.
