Griffin Family The Griffin Family

In 1635 Edward Griffin b.1602 in Wales and his brother John b.1608 in Wales traveled on the ships Abraham and Constance respectively, landing on Kent Island off the coast of Virginia.  By the 1640's Edward was in Flushing, Long Island, New York and John was in Simsbury, Connecticut. I am a descendant of Edward and a native of Western New York.  I am now living in Green Valley, Arizona during the winter and Western New York in the summer.
Due to recent documented evidence we now know that Edward Griffin b. 1602 and John Griffin b.1608 are NOT brothers, nor are either related to the Pengruffund family of Pembrokeshire, Wales.  Go to this link for a full explanation:

For now (October 2009) I am leaving my web page unchanged. In the future it will be revised.

For a "book" format (indexed)  listing 2559 descendants of Edward Griffin, refer to the following links.  This Griffin line was prominent in Dutchess and Westchester Counties of New York during the 1700's.  I do not know of any early migration on their part to the Southern states.
