Biography

Hannah was a Friend (Quaker)

The search for Hannah Kinneon's origins begins with her marriage certificate.^[1][2] It informs us that Hannah was from Perquimans County in the Province of North Carolina and that she married James Griffin of Chowan County also in the Province of North Carolina on the 5th of May, 1770 at the Symon's Creek meeting house in Pasquotank County, Province of North Carolina. The witnesses at Hannah's marriage are listed in the table below.

^* Bjorkman transcribes this name as James Griffin. ^[2]

^# In the third column the first two names are those of the groom and bride. Traditionally, the parents of the couple are listed directly below the names of the couple.

Note 1: It is expected that, in the third column the name in this position would one of the James Griffin's closest relatives. His father, James Griffin, died in 1761 prior to his son's marriage to Hannah Kinneon. This suggests that Isaac Griffin is either his uncle or his brother. The fact that his mother does not appear here suggests that she also died prior to her son's marriage to Hannah Kinneon.
