"The Montgomery County Story," August, 1962 has information on this family, written by Catharine Spurrier Wilcox: "Henry's first wife wa Elizabeth Dorsey whom he married in 1741. By her he had four children. In 1751 he married Ruth Hammond by whom he had 9 children." There is further information about his children in this article, however this woman also states Henry's parents were Orlando Griffith (of Welsh descent) and Katherine Howard. Noland 588.

Orlando Griffith (1688-bef.1757) and Catherine (Howard) Griffith (abt.1698-aft.1757) have been removed as the parents of Nicholas Griffith. There is no evidence this couple ever had a child with this name.
