Our Griffith Family And Its Ancestors PDF Download

Excerpt from Griffith-Stebbins: A Family History We have the best authority - the Bible itself - for holding in remembrance our ancestors. Seldom do the inspired writers mention a name, without adding "son of." Blessings are promised to children and children's children. Happy are those whose parents could claim such promises. Hence happy are we of the Griffith and Stebbins families, for our parents certainly could and did claim them for us. Common gratitude demands that we know something about them. For twenty years the family home at Rushville, Illinois, was a real home for our two grandmothers, and there they brought their treasures, consisting largely of books and letters. When we two were left alone in that home we brought those letters from the trunks in the attic and read them with great interest. We remember, too, bits of experience, told us by grandmothers and parents. All of these we will try to weave together for our brothers and their children, lest even the names of our ancestors be forgot. One will write of the Griffith family, the other of the Stebbins.
