Henry Mullan
Griffith, 1848-1900
Henry Mullan
GRIFFITH was 26 when he married Evaline 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 Evaline's children are listed on Eveline's
page: Evaline 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 (if any) 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.; that is
especially intriguing because Henry Griffith's wife
Evaline Hukill's father first had been married to an
Overturf.
THANK YOU to Kerry Joan Griffith (b.
1948) for finding the name of George Ancil Clark
Griffith's father, the marriage date for George A.C.
Griffith's parents, the death date for George A.C.
Griffith's father, and the will anf probate record for
George A.C. Griffith. The name and marriage date came
from old records of the Rev.
Charles Wheeler, first pastor of the Baptist Church of
Washington Co., Pennsylvania. The date of death came from
two sources: (1) the man's will, also found in Washington
Co., Pennsylvania. The will was dated 11- Nov-1821 and
probated 6-May-1822, and (2) the man's obituary, as
published in the Dec. 12, 1812, "Republican
Compiler" of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. From the
obituary: "Died on the 14th ult., at Washingtion
[Pennsylvania]. Mr. Alexander Griffith, shoemaker, aged
32 years, having a wife and two children to mourn their
loss. The deceased had accidentally cut a piece off one
of his great toes with an ax; the wound had nearly healed
up, when he took a cold in it, and lock jaw ensued, and
terminated his life in about two weeks after the
accident."
