NOTE: On page 355 of IMMIGRATION OF THE IRISH QUAKERS. 1682-1750 by Albert Cook Myers, 1902, the author says that Thomas Griffith who married Eve may have been the son of John Griffith, who had a son Christopher, from Grange, Ireland, near Charlemont. (Sadsbury Mtg.) This supposition of the author is incorrect. Thomas Griffith, as stated above was the son of John and Amy Morgan Griffith of Radnorshire Wales, brother to the renowned Quaker minister, John Griffith of Chester County, Pa/Essex, England.) However, the information given regarding this Thomas Griffith is correct, he is buried at Friends, and his grave marked T.G. is still visible.
