11. (M) CLARA WHITE GRIFFITH
B. 1883
D. 1960The Patrick County birth register says Richard A. Griffith was born 26 Sep
1878 to Artensa Griffith, and the 1880 census for Smith River District of
Patrick County lists Richard A. Griffith age 1 in the family of Sparrell F. and
Artemesia [Hall] Griffith. According to the 1900 Patrick County, Smith River
District census, Clara White was born June 1882, daughter of Alexander and
Bettie A. White, and still single. She married Richard A. Griffith before 1920.The Griffiths are related to Richard Wood in this way:
Richard and Rachel's son Alexander Wood had a son John
Wesley Wood; He married Celia Lily in WV and they had
a dau, Minerva who married Henry Griffith. Now I know
these folks aren't in your list but there may be other
marriages or connections that I am not aware of.
I suspect the woman named Iowa you reference below who
married Haynes is the sister to Henry Griffith as he
had a sister named Iowa Griffith who first married
David Cockram, the same David Cockram who first
married Ellie Cannady.
