His father, John Griggs, was of Welsh origin, a Revolutionary soldier, taking part in the battle of Bunker Hill. In the retreat after that action he carried Benjamin Chamberlain, a wounded comrade, three-quarters of a mile to safety. This generous action injured his health so seriously that he never after was a well man. By his first wife he had two children, Seth and Anna. For his second wife he married Mrs. Thoaias, whose maiden name was Mary Smith. She was born Dec. 13, 1756. Of this union were born Samuel, Polly (Mrs. Razey Baker), Caleb, Abigail, and Elijah. Mrs. Griggs survived her husband (who died about 1800, in Elkland, Pa.) many years, marrying a Mr. Smith. She died Dec. 6, 182G, aged seventy years. Samuel Griggs was brought up by his brother-in-law, Samuel Cady, who married Sally Thomas, from the age of nine. Mr. Cady resided in Troups- burgh. In 1814, Mr. Griggs, accompanied by his brothers Caleb and Elijah, went to Cincinnati, Ohio. Caleb was soon drafted as a soldier against the English, and Samuel, under the rigid laws of Ohio, was ap- prenticed to a baker who supplied the army with '^'hardtack." After two years he returned to Troupsburgh, where he pur(;hased the farm—one hundred acres—now owned by Philander Wilcox. lie married Amy Church, Oct. 13, 1819.
