GRIFFIN FAMILY.
The deed of the farm on which Deacon Nathan Griffin lives was given by Matthew Nely of Nottingham, in the province of New Hampshire, " for and in consideration of the sum of seven hundred and fifty pounds money, old tenor," "to Theopilus Griffin and Eliphalet Griffin of Kingstown in the Province abovesaid," and dated, " elev- enth day of April seventeen hundred forty & nine, and in the twenty-second year of the reign of our sovereign Lord King George the second," etc., and signed, etc., in pres- ence of Nathan Dow and Ezekiel Dow, and acknowledged before Ezekiel Dow, justice of peace.
Eliphalet Griffin settled here (probably) about that time, and soon took his parents to his home, and here they died and were buried. At the decease of Eliphalet (1792), the homestead went to his son Thomas, by will ; from him to his son Timothy, by deed ; and he deeded it to his son Nathan some years before his death, 1872, who occupies it at the present time, 1878. Thus four generations of the family have lived and died here ; and the present owner, with his children and grandchildren, who spend vacation at " home," makes seven generations of the same family treading these same hillsides.
Theophilus settled on the easterly half of the same " lot," probably at the same time, but his descendants have all been gone from the neighborhood many years. When the brothers settled here, it was an unbroken forest; their nearest neighbors being three or four miles away. The

road containing the school-district has long been known as the Griffin road and district. The first two-story house in town was here, and was taken down and rebuilt as a cottage on the same spot by Timothy, for his parents, about the year 1829 or 1830.
The writer of this well remembers the old house, with its low stories and neatly cased floor-timbers, under which a more than medium tall man must bow ; its windows of six-by-eight glass, twelve panes ; and its huge kitchen fire- place in one side of an enormous chimney. There was no plastering in the house, the rooms being ceiled around and overhead ; the " best room " being elaborately paneled, and kept white, and the floor beautifully carpeted with white sand.
Eliphalet Griffin, the first settler, was one of the first board of selectmen ; he was twice married, the second wife being - Eastman. Thomas married Sarah Morse, and they had seven children ; Timothy married Sally True, had six children ; Nathan married Caroline S. Freese, had four children ; she died 1864, and he married Saloma Nichols (Simpson).
La Roy, eldest son of Nathan, married Annie Fitts ; has four children ; is president of Peddie Institute, Hights- town, N. J.
Dudley N., second son of Nathan, is a teacher in Beverly, Mass. ; married Anna Hinkley of Beverly, and has one son.
