Henry Mullan Griffith, 1848-1900

Henry Mullan GRIFFITH was 26 when he married Eveline HUKILL in Ripley Co., IN, in 1874. Henry never reached 52. Before he died, he buried a daughter, a son, and his 39-year-old wife.

He is listed on the 1870 census in Center Twp., Ripley Co., IN, as a 21-year-old farm laborer, living with his mother and two brothers. He is on the 1880 census in the same township, listed as a farmer.

Henry and Eveline's children are listed on Eveline's page: Eveline Hukill

His middle name, "Mullan," is from his father's stepfather, Henry MULLEN. Unless there is some not yet found link, Henry Mullan GRIFFITH and his father were not MULLAN descendants.

There were other GRIFFITHs in the Ripley Co., IN, area. To date, the relationships are unknown:. Henry Griffith purchased land in Ripley Co., IN, on 11-Jan-1836 [tract book #3, page #36]. Elias Griffith purchased land 9 Jan-1837. Wesley Griffith purchased land 20-Aug-1838. Asbury Griffith purchased land 13-Aug-1836. Elizabeth Griffith purchased land 4-Nov-1836. An intriguing Griffith is John Griffith who married Elizabeth Overturf in 1827 in Ripley Co.; a relationship is likely since Henry Griffith's wife Eveline Hukill's father had first been married to an Overturf.
