There are a few updates to the information above. First of all, Benoni Griffin, father of Jonathan, was born in Connecticut, although he was of Welsh descent. This article does not mention Benoni's first marriage in Connecticut which ended in divorce (to Martha Viets). In listing the children of Benoni, the youngest, Levi, is missing. Also, there is a definite possibility that there were 3 or maybe even 4 wives, since Abraham, Mary, and Levi were born in Virginia.
