JEREMIAH, the first settler in H. bearing that sirname, is said to have come here from Amherst, though that is somewhat doubt- ful. He was probably a descendant of Thomas Green, who emigrated from England in 1635, and who lived in Malden, now Melrose, Mass., from 1651 to his death, Dec. 19, 1667. Jeremiah, whose name first appears on the tax list of this town in 1780, m. Elizabeth Woolson, and they lived at first in a log house in the northwest part of the town near where Walter Woods lived in more recent years. The records of the family are very meagre. As nearly as can be traced we have (I) Thomas, b. in England about 1610; (II) Samuel, b. in Malden, Mass., in Mar., 1645, m. Mary Cook in 1666; (III) Thomas, b. in 1669, m. Hannah Vinto, and res. in Malden ; (IV) Thomas, Jr., b. in Malden, Dec. 9, 1702, m. Mary Green, of Stoneham, Mass .; (V) Jeremiah, b. in Read- ing, Mass., about 1742, rem. to the west part of Amherst with his parents about 1769; m. Elizabeth Woolson, probably of Reading, and settled in H. in 1779, as stated above.

Dr. Griffin early took high rank in his pro- fession. He was largely interested in sanitary work and the establishment of the Wisconsin Board of Health in 1876 was largely through his efforts. He was President of the Board from its formation until the demands of private interest compelled his resignation in 1882. The reports of that board and of the Wisconsin State Medical Society contain many valuable papers contributed by him. In 1872 he entered upon the production of animal vaccine, the first in the North- west. This enterprise so increased in value as to induce him to abandon general practice and give his whole attention to its success. In 1881, he rem. the work to Chicago, Ill., where in connection with Dr. J. Pettect, of Cleveland, Ohio, he formed the National Union Vaccine Company, the largest es- tablishment of the kind in the country. Later failing health compelled him to retire from all active work.
