 OF THE 
 
 Griffith Family: 
 
 The Descendants

 The plan of this book needs no explanation, as a cur¬ 
 sory examination will show it is only intended to make 
 an enduring Record of the Ancestors of the Griffith Fam¬ 
 ily. It is so arranged as to show the intermarriages 
 with other families, the date of the marriages, of the 
 births and names of children, and of the death of the 
 various members. In a few instances only are presented 
 sketches of the lives of any of the relatives. 
 
 In the Appendix will he found the wills of some, and 
 notices of others, who seemed deserving of especial men¬ 
 tion. He that looks herein for eulogy or especial lauda¬ 
 tion of any one of the numerous family will be disap¬ 
 pointed. If, however, he desires to find the name and 
 date of birth or marriage, or to trace a genealogy, the 
 hook will aid him, and that is its principal purpose. 
 
 In accomplishing the bringing together of the record 
 as presented in the hook my self-imposed task is ended. 
 It has been a pleasing, though laborious one. I now sub¬ 
 mit it, with much diffidence, and many misgivings as to 
 the manner of its make-up, to the kind and sympathetic 
 judgment of those who are personally or otherwise inter¬ 
 ested in its contents, feeling assured that I will meet 
 with no critic more severe than I have myself been.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The author has endeavored to bring from out the past 
 the remembrance of those whose blood flows through his 
 own veins, not with any vain-glorious idea of showing 
 a long line of noble ancestors, but with the intent of 
 knowing to whom he is related, and showing the inter¬ 
 lacing and weaving in of the Griffith family with fami¬ 
 lies of other names. Although it was with him a labor of 
 love at the beginning, he found as he progressed in 
 the execution of his task, that it was a very arduous 
 undertaking. 
 
 In order to get together the necessary material, lie has 
 been compelled to search the musty records of centuries 
 past, and to correspond with numerous persons, often 
 with very unsatisfactory results. 
 
 The ancestors of the family, with a few exceptions, do 
 not seem to have taken much interest in public affairs, 
 so that not much could be gathered of their history 
 from accounts of State transactions. They seemed to 
 have passed tranquil, quiet and unambitious lives. 
 That they were born and buried make up the most part 
 of their histories. 
 
 The records of the Parishes of St. Ann, St. Margaret 
 Westminster, All Hallows, St. James and Queen Caroline, 
 where tlie names of some of them are enrolled, show that 
 they led useful lives, and were interested not only in tern- 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 v i 
 
 poral but also in spiritual affairs. Some of the family 
 were men of more than ordinary ability, engaged in pub¬ 
 lic affairs, and several of them were soldiers in the Rev¬ 
 olution. One of them fought under La Fayette, who, 
 when he visited this country, recognized and embraced 
 him. So far as the author has been able to trace out 
 their histories, there are no blots upon their characters, 
 and the escutcheon of the family is untarnished by deeds 
 of shame or dishonor. This honorable name is one which 
 their descendants may feel proud to study and to pre¬ 
 serve unsullied to the latest posterity. 
 
 It cannot be expected that a book of this character 
 can be altogether free from errors, and this the author 
 does not claim. But he has labored for several years in 
 the face of many difficulties to endeavor to make the 
 book a true and correct record of what it is intended to 
 be, and in this he may not have entirely succeeded. 
 
 The sur-name of the family, “ Griffith," is said to be 
 derived from the Welsh word Gryffydd , usually given as 
 a baptismal or Christian name, signifying “Great Faith. 
 And from the preamble to the wills of some of the prin¬ 
 cipal members of the family, (inserted in the Appendix,) 
 faith in the future seems to have been a distinguishing 
 characteristic. 
 
 Though the record presented is apparently a mea¬ 
 gre one, and as is said by Longfellow in reference 
 to a similar book, reminds one of “ walking through 
 a grave-yard and reading the names, with date of birth 
 and death, upon the tombstones,” yet the author 
 hopes that in looking it over there are some of our ances¬ 
 tors whose names will recall a history that may be tra-

 Vll 
 
 ditional in the family, of some noble traits of character 
 or worthy actions done by them, that may incite their 
 descendants to emulate their examples. 
 
 That we have a noble lineage in the sense of a name 
 which is acquired from the deeds of some ancestor in the 
 far distant parts, might not be true, but as our ancestors 
 lived conscientious and useful lives and bore without 
 reproach the grand old name of gentleman, so we have a 
 lineage as high and noble as that of any prince or 
 lord. 
 
 There are some of the family who are entitled to a 
 larger space and more extended notice than others, and 
 the author therefore offers no apology for inserting a 
 sketch of some of those whom he considers worthy of 
 especial mention, we therefore notice the following: 
 
 Sarah Griffith was the daughter of John Maccubbin 
 of Anne Arundel Co., (a scion of an ancient Scotch 
 family) and Elinor his wife. A long and patient search 
 of the Colonial Records lias failed to reveal to us the 
 maiden name of and parentage of Elinor. 
 
 Nicholas Greenberry and Anne his wife were mar¬ 
 ried prior to their immigration to America. They 
 arrived in Maryland in 1674 in the ship “Constant 
 Friendship,” bringing with them two children, Charles 
 and Katharine. Two others were born to them after 
 their arrival in the Province. Nicholas, who died young, 
 and Elizabeth who married Mr. Robert Gfoldsborough, 
 Sep. 2, 1697. Nicholas Gfreenberry took up a tract of 
 land on the north side of the Severn River, at its mouth, 
 
V 111 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 now known as the “Greenberry Point Farm,” where he 
 resided until his death in 1697, the 17th Dec. Ann, his 
 wife, died the 27th of April, 1698. They were both 
 buried in the family burying grounds on his estate, and 
 their tomb-stones, in a fair state of preservation, ma}^ 
 still be seen in that portion of the Greenberry Point 
 Farm, now owned and occupied by Mr. Charles E. 
 Remsen. 
 
 He was one of the Commissioners appointed under 
 the Act of the Assembly of Nov. 1683, to lay out 
 towns, “At the Towne Lands at Proctors, at South 
 River on Coll. Burgis’ Land, (London Town) and at 
 Herring Creeke on the Towne Land.” 
 
 A few words next as to the lineage of John 
 Howard, Jr., whose daughter Katherine married Orlando 
 Griffith, the progenitor of a host of descendants, whose 
 names are herein recorded. 
 
 It has now been ascertained beyond a reasonable doubt, 
 that the founders of the Howard Family of Maryland 
 were five brothers, Cornelius, John, Matthew, Samuel, 
 and Philip Howard. 
 
 In 1662 the first four named had a warrant issued to 
 them from the Land Office of Maryland for 900 acres of 
 land, and the Record distinctly states that they were 
 brothers. Cornelius, in his will, proved in 1680, refers 
 to his brothers, John, Samuel, and Philip Howard. 
 Samuel Howard, in his will, proved in 1703, mentions 
 his u cousins,” Hannah Hammond, the daughter of 
 Philip Howard, his deceased brother; and Sarah Brice, 
 widow of John Worthington, wife of John Brice, and 
 daughter of Matthew Howard, his deceased brother. 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ix 
 
 John Howard, Sr., married 1st, (prior to 1667) Su¬ 
 sanna, widow of Charles Stevens of Anne Arundel Co., 
 by whom he had issue, one son, John Howard, Jr. Af¬ 
 ter the death of his first wife, he married Eleanor Mac- 
 cubbin, the widow of John Maccubbin (subsequent to 
 the year 1686) by whom he had no issue. 
 
 John Howard, Jr., only son ot John Howard, Sr., 
 married 1st, a daughter of Richard Warfield of Anne 
 Arundel Co., and sister of Richard Alexander, and Eli¬ 
 nor, who married Caleb Dorsey. By this marriage he 
 had issue, three children, Benjamin, Absolute and 
 Rachel. After the death of his first wife, he married 
 Katherine, the widow of Henry Ridgely (son of Henry) 
 and daughter of Nicholas and Ann Greenberry, by whom 
 he had issue, one daughter, Katherine Howard, who 
 married Orlando Griffith. (See will of John Howard, 
 Jr., page 281.) 
 
 Capt. John Worthington, the first of his family 
 of whom we find mention in the Colonial records, was 
 horn in the year 1650, and died in the year 1701. On 
 the farm of Mr. R. Tilghman Brice, on the North Bank 
 of the Severn River, nearly opposite-the City of Annapo¬ 
 lis, immediately in front of his residence, is an immense 
 stone slab hearing the following inscription: “Here lieth 
 interred the body of Capt. John Worthington, who de¬ 
 parted this life April the 9th, 1701, aged 51 years.’’ 
 This stone hears the death’s head and cross bones, fre¬ 
 quently thus used at that period, and after the lapse of 
 nearly two centuries the inscription is perfectly legible.

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 There are many circumstances going to show that the 
 Worthington family were residents of the Province 
 between the years 1640 and 1650. Capt. John Worth¬ 
 ington married Sarah, the daughter of Matthew Howard 
 and Sarah Dorsey. The issue of the marriage were 
 John, Thomas, William, Sarah, and Charles, the last 
 named born after the death of his father. After the 
 death of her first husband, Mrs. Worthington married 
 John Brice, of Anne Arundel Co., and became the mother 
 of a large family. The Colonial records bear evidence 
 of his having led an active and useful life. He is men¬ 
 tioned as gentleman, merchant, planter, member of the 
 House of Burgesses, Justice of the Peace, and Captain 
 of the Hundred in which he lived, on the Severn River 
 and Chesapeake Bay. The records of St. Margaret’s 
 Westminster Parish contains the names of his children, 
 who were all baptized at an early age.

 COPY OF A LETTER FROM A GRANDSON OF CAPTAIN 
 SAMUEL GRIFFITH. 
 
 Alexandria, Sep. 27, 1891. 
 
 Mr. R. R. Griffith, 
 
 Baltimore , Mil. 
 
 Dear Sir :—When I met you in the City of Baltimore some three 
 or four weeks ago, I chanced to mention one or two incidents in con¬ 
 nection with the History of your relative and my Paternal Grand 
 Father. Capt. Samuel Griffith, formerly of Montgomery County, 
 State of Maryland. You were aware that he was an active partici¬ 
 pant in the War of ’76. I have often heard him relate, when I was a 
 boy, incidents connected with his Army life, he was attached to the 
 corps, or command, of Genl. LaFayette. and was with him at the 
 Battles of Germantown, and Brandywine. In one of which, he was 
 wounded, do not remember which, or the order of precedence, of 
 course the last one fought, was the one in which he was wounded. 
 Have heard him relate, that his Company of 90 men, formed part of 
 the command selected to storm a “Chevaux d’frieze,” erected by 
 the Enemy, they were driven back, with terrible disaster: his Co. of 
 90 men, being reduced to (16) sixteen, able to answer at Roll call. 
 This wonderful reduction in number showing the desperate character 
 of the assault, made upon the works of the Enemy. Have often 
 heard him express his admiration of the character of La Fayette. 
 When La Fayette visited the U. S. in 1825, I was school boy, at St. 
 Johns College, Annapolis. The State Legislature being in session, 
 the Govr. of the State invited La Fayette to visit the old city ren¬ 
 dered historic, by its having been, at one time, the seat of the “Con¬ 
 tinental Congress;” which was accepted. My Father the Revd. Al¬ 
 fred Griffith, was at that time Chaplain of the Senate, knowing his 
 Father’s regard for his old Commander, he sent for him, to come to 
 Annapolis, to again greet his old companion in Arms. Although 
 but a small boy, some 12 years of age, the grand Pageant of the 
 reception, still lives, fresh in my memory. The carpeted walks 
 leading to the Capitol, from the base of the Hill, to the old, and 
 stately building crowning its summit, on either side of the avenue 
 leading to the grand co'llonaded entrance, stood beautiful children, 
 principally girls, clad in white, and crowned with dowers, whilst in

 their hands, they carried boquets, and baskets of flowers. And as 
 the old Hero, supported on the one side, by his son, and staff, on the 
 other, by the Governor, and State officials, advanced up the improv¬ 
 ised isle, the children broke into one grand Chorus, of Hail to the 
 Chief, strewing the whole pathway with Flowers, under the old 
 Collonade. Fronting the doorway, stood on one side the Members 
 of the House of Representatives, on the other side, the State Senators. 
 Having attained the Floor of the Portico, the Genl. was introduced 
 to the members of both Houses. After the formal reception, the 
 members resumed their positions, whilst prominent citizens pressed 
 forward, to be presented by the Governor, and then my Grand Fa¬ 
 ther, the Governor on his presentation recalling to the Genl's mind, 
 the battles in which he had fought, in a moment the two old men. 
 as if carried back, to the scenes of their young manhood, rushed 
 into each others arms and wept, like two children. This scene 
 whilst it affected all. who witnessed it, made an impression on my 
 young mind, which can never be erased. In after years, I men¬ 
 tioned it to my Grand Father, and reference to it, always excited 
 strong emotion in him.
