"1884 - J. D. Griffith - 1 horse ($90), 4 goats ($4)." (1884 Coleman County, Texas Tax Rolls.)
Other sources list John D. Griffith's year of birth as about 1863.
"John Griffith was said to have been shot and killed near Santa Anna in Coleman County, Texas in the 1890's." (Interview with Frank Griffith, grandson of John Griffith, by Ralph Terry, about 1985. NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: I have found no records in Coleman County to confirm this story. Could this have been a story confused with the death of Joseph Henry Griffith, the brother of John Griffith.)
"My papa (Ira) told that Grandpa (John) was killed by a posse when he (Ira) was about 12 years old. That would be 1898. That is all he would ever say about it." (Marie Griffith Deitz.)
