- Note for: Dan Griffith, 1792 - AFT 1860 Index
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event:
Type: MARR
Date: ABT 1816
Place: Kentucky
Individual Note:
Dan was born about 1792 in South Carolina, probably in the SpartenburgDistrict and likely grew up in Christian Co, KY from 1797 until 1817. Daniel's parentage has not yet been proven, but it seems likely he was the son of William Wells. He is listed on two of Wells' Kentucky land transactions, once as a witness and once as a "chainman." Further, Dan is listed in the Caldwell Co., KY tax list in 1813, immediately following the entry for Wells Griffith. Dan's eldest son was born in KY...and he named his second son Wells.
In 1817, it appears that Dan and Margaret moved to White Co, TN, where her parents lived, moving in next to them. They lived in the Lost Creek area for several years, but may have moved closer to or into Sparta, TN sometime during the 1830s. Dan was the administrator of the estate of John M. Rotan (Margaret's brother) and also the administrator of Wm. Rotan's estate. He also took the tax list in his area for a few years.
In 1848 they moved their family to Butler Co., MO, probably living in the Cane Creek area. In 1849 Butler County officials were trying to raise $180 to secure title to property for the county seat. Dan Griffith was one of seven citizens who loaned money to the county for that purchase.
About 1850 cholera swept through southern Illinois and into eastern Missouri. William Rotan's wife and Wells Griffith likely died of the disease. Margaret may have died at this time as well. In 1852/53 Dan moved to Lawrence Co., AR. In 1853 Dan married Christa Simpson who was probably the widow of Littleton Gilbert Simpson, a 1st cousin to Martha Foreman.
The family was located in the Ash Flat, AR area, living in Pleasant Ridge Township. In 1870 they were listed in Sharp Co., AR.
