Biography

"GRIFFITH, JOHN T., m. Olive Hulett, of Dorset, who died in 1849, aged 43. He has been a man of good business talent, and is possessed of sterling sense and capacity, which has been brought into requisition at various times. He is a good scholar, a man of intelligence, a friend of order and learning, and has always taken a leading interest in the promotion of education. He was selectman two years, a member of the Legislature in 1856, and has occupied many other positions of trust and honor, which duties he performed acceptably to the town and with credit to himself. In 1866 he was appointed town clerk by the selectmen, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of G. J. Locke, which office he held until the following year. His knowledge of law is quite extensive, and his counsel and judgement are often sought. In 1852 he married his second wife Cleopatra, widow of Harrison Vaughan. His children are Jonathan, m. Amanda Ballard; Phebe, Mariah, m. Elihu Kelley; Marcellus, Gardner F., m. Ella Brock, of Dorset, and Emily. Marcellus has been living in California some ten years past, and has recently returned home. He m. Mary, da. of Timothy Kelley." [1]
