"Jasper Griffing, Jun., probably eldest son of Jasper Griffing of Southold (i) and Hannah, his wife; married, 29 April, 1696, Ruth Peck, born 19 August, 1676, daughter of Joseph Peck of Lyme, Ct., and Sarah, his wife. In Lyme all the children of Joseph and Sarah Peck were born. [This Joseph Peck was the son of Deacon Wm. Peck of New Haven, who was born in England, 1603.] It is said in "Griffin's Journal," that Jasper Griffing, Jun., purchased a tract of land in Lyme and settled there. By reference to "Southold Index of 1698," by Chas B. Moore, Esq., we find a note of Jasper, at the time of his father's death, 1718, where he is spoken of as a son and heir reciting his father's will, etc., and at the same time disposing of his possessions at Southold to his brother Edward Griffing. It is also said in the 'Journal' that he lived to be more than 90 years old. but the date of his death does not appear."
