General Notes: Husband - Samuel C. Griffith
He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. When young his father moved to Washington township, Fayette County, and located on the farm which his son afterwards owned.
His early years were spent in farm-work, factory-work, and attending the district schools. When seventeen years of age he engaged in school-teaching. For forty years he continued in this work during the winter season, only missing one winter. He was one of the best and most widely-known surveyors in the county, and spent much of his time, when not engaged in teaching, in surveying. His father becoming involved by indorsing for some of his neighbors, the farm was sold by the sheriff, and Samuel bought it; that was in 1822.
He was a justice of the peace for many years, and was a general business man, wrote and acknowledged many deeds, married people, wrote articles of agreement, etc.
His moral status, like that of all Quakers, was good.
He was a jovial man, and industrious, always engaged in some useful work. He was much above the average in intelligence, a great student of mathematics and history. He was a careful workman. His penmanship was elegant.
His widow believed his father's people came from Wales. He was a member of the Quaker meeting till the time of his marriage. He was turned out for marrying out of the Society.
