| 12202 | Edward Griffin ('3), son of Richard & Susanna (nee Haight) Griffin, married Millicent Bishop. After living near his brother Jonathan, White Plains, N. Y., for a time, he migrated northward & settled at Nine Partners, Duchess Co., where he raised his family; was a prominent member of the Society of Friends in that place & died there in 1787. .

UCLPetition 119, G Misc 1789-95, C2042, p454. To. Lt. Go. John Graves Simcoe, Petition of Edward Griffin, Your petition has been upon Lot 6 on the Gore in the Township of Gainsborough, parys to be confirmed in the same. Dated at, Newark, 28 Oct 1794. [No signature by E. Griffin.] Envelope: Granted 1794 Oct 27th. . In the war of the American revolution 3 of the 7 sons of Edward (3) were loyalists, viz., Richard, Thomas & Obadiah. The latter two took an active part in the British service, & 2 of the sons of Richard are said to have served in loyal colonial regiments. The remainder of Edward's family apparently were non-partisan, being Quakers. Thomas, a lieutenant in a loyal colonial regiment, was captured with a number of other loyalists, among them his brother Obadiah & a cousin named Joseph Griffin. They were imprisoned in Albany jail. Thomas was tried by the so-called Committee of Safety & sentenced to be hanged for the crime of having accepted a commission in the British service. His was not a solitary case of that kind, other instances being recorded & probably many unrecorded. When the jailer announced to him that he was to be hanged next day he said, "The man who will hang me is not born;" with his handcuffs he knocked down the jailer, took his keys & liberated himself & his fellow loyalists. Joseph Griffin escaped to Canada & years later gave evidence at the sittings of the court appointed to adjust loyalist claims. Thomas & Obadiah made their way to Nova 'Scotia. They received grants of farm land, also lots in the new city of St. John. Thus they became pioneers in another new province, that part of Nova Scotia becoming the Province of New Brunswick. Thomas married there & had 13 children, of whom little is known, though a grandson named Thomas H. Griffin was President of an Electric Light Co. in the city of Amherst, Nova Scotia, in 1891. . About 1814 Obadiah migrated with his family to Upper Canada & remained a year with his relatives at Smithville. Of Obadiah ' s family we have record of only one son, Obadiiah; he had 10 children, of whom one, Jacob, was born at Smithville, Lincoln Co., Nov. 5, 1815. He became a Baptist preacher, & his eldest son, Rev. Zebina Flavius Griffin, b. Nov. 14, 1844, spent many years as a missionary in India. On his return, in 1893, he wrote a book entitled "Daily Life in Bengal," which is very interesting & marvelously concise. It was highly commended by the press for its accuracy & inclusiveness.

I can let you have what quantity of bread you may want at a reasonable price, the bread is in gags, on bag containing a barrel. In consequence I ordered Mr. John Carr, purser, on board the brig to get the need supplies & on his return, as we had no species on board, much to my astonishment, Capt. Harper, peremptorily refused to take government bills at slight; & at his own price of $10.50 per barrel for his bread.

Elizabeth DOLLIE Little, b: 07 MAY 1862 in Garafraxa, Wellington, Ontario, died 31 May 1841, Detroit, MI. 8. Stewart Little, b: 22 Sep 1866, died aged one 1867, in Garafraxa. . A Tale of Two Sisters: On the 1867 Census for Garafraxa Township, Robert Dee Little was listed as a resident of Lot 12, Concession 12. They were still living on the farm. However, sometime after 1867, Robert Little purchased a Hotel-Tavern in Garafraxa, Wellington Center. The 1871 Census states: 1. Hotel (Ann's Hotel); 2. Physician; 3. Blacksmith Shop; 4. Store. This Hotel-Tavern was located about 20 miles from the Fielding Hotel in Ospringe, owned by her sister Margaret. The 19th century traveller making the long slow & grinding journey from Quebec & eastern Ontario did so on rough rutted trails through the Ontario wilderness. Along those rough roads the first dwellings that sprung up was the hotel-tavern. Every 5 miles or so, these taverns offered a refreshment stop for man & beast alike. These hotel-taverns opened their doors long before the post-offices, churches, schools & other such public buildings. Oxen or horses could be fed, watered & stabled whilst the weary, traveller found home cooking & a brew to warm their innards. If necessary, for 25 cents, a place to spend the night with all he could eat & bed for his animal; albeit the traveller may have had to share his bed with others. In the counties of Bruce & Grey alone, there were over 200 of these traveller's rest-inns. Some of the names of these early inns were; Bab Ryan's Roadhouse; The Rising Sun; Starvation's Corner's Wayhouse; Rockford Castle; Grannie Green's - to name only a few. & so it was one of these hotel-taverns that Robert & Ann eventually came to own. The name of their tavern has been lost to antiquity. In the early days the tavern was used for many purposes: church gatherings; land auctions; local meetings; & all the while the never-ending supply of cheap bootleg Canadian Whiskey. Pails of whiskey were plentiful; 5¢ could buy a "grunt" - take a breath, put the bottle in your mouth & swallow as much as possible in one large gulp.The mass consumption of liquor often led to brawls that required the attendance of both doctor & sheriff. The consumption of alcohol in the early days became the topic of legends. Who were these hotel-tavern operators? They were local characters, congenial & hospitable, the host-of-the-road kind of people. Entertainment of their guests kept them busy. Besides drinking, gambling was often part of the entertainment package that came along with the Inn. Robert was one of these hosts; Ann (& Margaret) took care of the home cooking. Robert Dee Little did not survive long as a hotel keeper. He died within 3-4 years of purchasing his Hotel-Tavern-Inn. On Robert's death certificate, his profession was listed as "Hotel Keeper". Cause of death his son informed the Physician, was the consumption of too much liquor within a 2 week period. Ann's death certificate states that she died of Asthma which she suffered from for 15 years. She was buried at Erin Union Cemetery. Ann's sister Margaret also owned one of these Hotel-Taverns in Ospringe, called the Fielding Hotel, 1861 - 1871 selling it circa 1875. 2of their sons moved to Manitoba. Their eldest son, Lemuel, applied for a land grant & received 2 1/4 sections. One of them, SE 1/4 9-19-14 W1 (see attached grant) was only about 2 miles from HR. The other one, NE 1/4 29-11-10 W1, was located closer to Andy McCutcheon. It is not known if he knew that his uncle & his first cousin were living near-by. Their other son, Albert also moved to Manitoba & became a grain buyer at Morden Manitoba, 1901. One girl, Mary, stayed near Erin & died of typhoid fever at the age of 62. The other 3 daughters immigrated to the USA, settling in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. This family had one set of Twins. Ref: McCutcheons From Donaghadee . Transcripts by P J Ahlberg.
