About Mary Griffin

The only early published genealogy that I am aware of that refers to Robert Griffin is Edith Austin Moore's "A Genealogy of the Descendants of Robert Austin", in which she states that Robert's wife name was Mary -- not Hannah.

If one can believe online sources, the immigrant Robert Griffin had by whichever wife the following children:
1. Benjamin born abt. 1639, married Sarah George
2. Hannah born 17 Dec 1642, married Thomas Nichols
3. Richard born abt. 1644, married Susannah Haight
4. Susannah baptized 13 May 1644, married John Spencer
5. Mary born 1649, married Thomas Fry.

Wikitree: Robert Griffin (abt. 1614–1684)
