Comments

Thank you, Frank.  I too have seen this census.  I've looked extensively in Madison County and surrounding areas for related other Griffins and found who I believe to be these folks still in Tennessee when my Noah was already Cherokee Co, TX getting married (1860).

This is the only connection on Family Search at all for a Noah born near the proper year and place.
