more work needed

[edit]

Since libraries are closed for the holiday, I cannot consult the 1787 Virginia tax census volumes to determine whether Griffin owned any slaves in Virginia on that date. For whatever reason, he does not appear in ancestry.com's version of the 1810 census (only men of the same name in areas far from both Williamsburg and NYC), although he probably should have, since he died very late in the year. It's more odd that ancestry.com does not have any marriage record for him. FYI, last time I cited findagrave, the citation was removed shortly thereafter, so I did not include that here. Probably, bios both of him and his brother exist in one of Lyon Gardiner Tyler's volumes of Virginia biography published in 1915, but they are not chronological (and the last volume lacks an index), and even on the holiday I lack time to plow through the digital version. Also, despite persistent nags on my phone (which continues to get no-message calls from unidentified numbers as well as texts from partially or falsely identified real estate investors), I decided against signing into google to verify the pre-existing digital W&M journal cite.Jweaver28 (talk) 18:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
