Biography

Susanna Griffin married John Francis Pierce. Their children were born in Nassau and most seem to have moved to Key West when they were in their 20's. .

We do not know where the couple was from originally but most Griffins of The Bahamas descend from a line that settled in Nassau and then went to Eleuthera, particularly Governors Harbour and The Current Settlement. Some Griffins left Governors Harbour and married into the families of Hope Town and Green Turtle Key. A number of Griffins left The Current Settlement ca 1915 and settled in the area around Riveria Beaech, Fl.

Many Pierces of The Bahamas were born in Nassau and at the Current. The Pierces were among the earliest of Bahamian families to settle in Key West.
