GRIFFIN in Springfield, Ohio
John GRIFFIN and his wife Mary CHURCHILL were the parents of Bridget GRIFFIN (1863- 9 Sep 1930) who married Peter GARRITY. Bridget GRIFFIN Garrity's obituary listed her last name as GARRITTY (double T), but since all other vital records spell it GARRITY, it is a misprint. Her obituary states 6 brothers and 2 sisters but I don't know if that is the number of ones who outlived her. Some notes I took in 1988 indicated 11 children, but this could be in error.
Another set of notes indicate GRIFFIN relatives (related by other lines also) to include:
Winifred Griffin married Mr. firstnameunkown McHugh
Bridget Griffin married a Gillian
_Patrick no information at this time
John no information at this time
Winifred Griffin mother Winifred______stayed in Ireland when her husband came to America
the girls came with their father and the boys stayed in Ireland with their mother;
Maria "Mary" GARRITY who married John GRIFFIN below was
the sister of Peter GARRITY who married Bridget GRIFFIN (further down the page). I don't
know if Maria "Mary" Garrity's husband, John GRIFFIN, is a son or relative of
the John or Edward GRIFFIN who is the father of Bridget GRIFFIN. But some relationship is
likely.
not sure if this is an ancestor or relative

Peter GARRITY b. 1863 in Ireland d. 29 Sep 1915 married BRIDGET GRIFFIN, daughter of EDWARD GRIFFIN and MARY CHURCHILL.
Peter owned a saloon at Spring and Monroe in 1900 and later in 1910
sold soft drinks at 320 S. Spring St. while living at 833 S. Center St. according to to
Bill Kiefer. A newspaper article stated Peter and
his wife Bridget came from Pittsburgh in the 1890s-and that
Peter was a car inspector and engineer for the railroad. Perhaps they were
married in Pittsburgh? Also, Bridget GRIFFIN Garrity's obituary mispelled her name
GARRITTY with double Ts (no documentation but probably a misprint since no listings for
GARRITTY were found in any Ohio Online death indexes)
