Melody,
You have done a remarkable job cataloging our family.
I am still stumped with the Joseph's Bartlet's and Joshua's.
Do you have any information on the Joshua's? I am trying
to find who Joshua Marion Griffith's parents were. Tradition
says the father was Joshua Sr. I found that a Joshua Griffith bought 40 acres in Clay Co.
in 1820. This would be
about right for Joshua M. father as he was born in 1843.
I'm thinking that Joshua M.s brother may have been Josiah
Griffith born 1845. I can find no record of them before 1860
at that time they are living with Mary and Abram Hochtetler
or Hoschtler. (spelling vary as to record). Right after that
Joshua goes into the civil war.
I know that the Dalton family plays heavy into the picture
in various places with the Griffiths. I found in the Travis
history that Mary above was a Dalton. I've seen her listed
as a Duncan in another place.
Joshua marries Margaret Ellis, Josiah marries Eliz. Carlits
and Belinda Horn.
Can you shed any light on this puzzle?
Thanks so much! email me at susiegiggles56@msn,com if
that a better way to share info.
