WikiTree profile: James Griffin

Family Search has citations to support his parents being John and Anna Griifin. See ID# MX6C-F9X in Family Search.
I have found no additional information about John and Anna other than their names cited on William's birth record.  Kind of at a dead end.
Is there a WikiTree Profile Page for William Griffin?

I'm not sure.  Just discovered this site.

The following are some of the information/records I had located (via Ancestry Sharable Links). Many/most of them include actual documents.

New Hampshire, Birth Index, 1659-1900:

Regarding the parents... I think that the mother's nickname was "Anna", but her actual first name was either "Susanna" or "Susannah".

You should always keep in mind that, when it comes to dated information (and such), individuals with certain common & very uncommon names are typically used/documented with a Nickname, Abbreviated Name, Shortened name, etc...

Just "for example"... I've seen names like "John" being documented as "Jno" and "Samuel" being documented as "Saml" as well as "Susanna/Susannah" being documented as either "Susan" or "Anna" (just to name a few).

I can't state for certain that the above information for the parents are 100%, but based upon what I had personally found, those appear to be them as well as dates & locations jiving with the events.

I hope this was helpful for what your looking for and I had explained this okay via text... :-P

I do wish you the best of luck with your Ancestry/Genealogy search!

Hi James,

I don't have an answer for you, but wanted to welcome you to WikiTree. I am so glad that you introduced yourself in our g2g forum.

I did check WikiTree and did not see a William Griffin that was confirmed to be married to Taphath Tucker.

I hope you learn to love WikiTree as much as I do.
