Notes: by D.R. “Doc” Young

 

The following information is accurate to the best of my knowledge and is obtained from Censuses, Birth, Death and Military Records.  You will note full names, full birth dates and places of birth as found on Birth, Death and Military records, may or may not be accurate.


 

1st Generation: Note: Generations will change as I find parents, etc.

H Dily Griffis, b. abt. 1844

Note: A strong possibility O P’s father is Daily Griffis, age 66 & Nancy mother age 34 in 1850 and H Dily Griffis’s Dily is Daily.  And the O in O P stands most likely for Ottie, who was b. 1898
