Notes
Marriage
When MARY ANN died, ISAAC eventually married ANN ROBERTS BURSON which set off a controversy as the marriage was considered inappropriate.In the "Friends' Intelligencer" of 12 mo. 15, 1823, the following extract from Gunpowder Monthly Meeting records is given: "Twenty-second of Ninth month, 1781, ISAAC GRIFFITH's paper condemning his misconduct in marrying his former wife's brother's widow was read and was satisfactory. The case was on hand for two years." (Perhaps it took the Meeting that long to trace the relationship.)
