Person:Isaac Griffith (1)

MyFamily.com, Inc. Pennsylvania Biographies & Genealogies: Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks, Griffith Family, pg. 214-215: Isaac and Ann (Burson) Griffith continued to reside in Richland and Rockhill Townships until 1769, probably on two or three tracts acquired at different dates by his father. The will of Abraham Griffith, Sr., proved in 1760, indicates clearly that Isaac, a younger son, was the mainstay of the family at that time, as to him is delegated the care of his mother, the sale of the estate, and the payment of minor legacies. He acquired the homestead in Rockhill by deed from his brother Abraham immediately following the death of their father and apparently lived thereon until 1769, when he took a certificate for himself, his wife, his minor children and his mother, to Gumpowder Monthly Meeting in Baltimore County, Maryland. This certificate is dated 16 Feb 1769. His son-in-law, Joseph Shaw, and family followed them to Maryland in 1770, but returned to Richland ten years later. Isaac Griffith and his family seem to have remained in Maryland. The Gunpowder Monthly Meeting records 22 Sep 1781 says Isaac Griffith's paper condemming his misconduct in marrying his former wife's brother's widow was read and was satisfactory. The case was on hand for two years. Perhaps it took the meeting that long to trace the relationship.
