| Notes |
elizabeth is placed as a daughter of a first wife of Samuel becuase of her age and that leroy george is referred as a godson of Leroy Griffin who appears to be a step brother to elizabeth. Thomas Griffin and his widow Sarah who married 2nd to Samuel Griffin only talks about their kids which does not Elizabeth. therefore Elizabeth must be a daughter of Samuel by an earlier wife.
