According to the Annals of the Forty, History of Grimsby Twp., Richard Griffin was the son of Richard and Susanna (Haight) Griffin, and was born in 1732. he married Mary, daughter of Judge Abraham Smith of New York. He was a school teacher, farmer and miller. Richard fought with the British during the War of the Revolution and, with his wife and family, emigrated to Canada in 1786. The journey, in a canvas-covered wagon, took six months as they cut a trail through the unbroken brush. They were fortunate to advance three or four miles in a day. The Griffins came by way of Rochester, NY, which at the time consisted of a blacksmith shop and a tavern.
In The Story Of Smithville, this is the account given of their removal to Canada:
"With a year's worth of provisions in ox carts they must have traveled north along the Hudson River to Albany, then west along the Mohawk trail toward Western New York and the Niagara River. At that time anything past Canandaigua was Seneca Indian Territory. It was reported that they traveled 4 miles per day. When they reached the Genesee River a raft was built and the women and children floated down to Lake Ontario, there they followed the shore line west to the mouth of the Niagara and into Canada. The men rejoined them at the Niagara River and they continued about 40 more miles west. These early Griffins developed commerce where none existed before."
For his faithfulness to the British, Richard Griffin received 800 acres from the Crown, in Lincoln County, south of Grimsby. They first camped at the mouth of The Twenty (Jordan on Lake Ontario) and from there Richard and his sons journeyed inland in search of a mill site. When they reached a place on Twenty Mile creek, they selected lots 6,8,9 and 10 Concession IX for their home. This settlement was first called Griffintown. Later it was renamed by the youngest son, Smith Griffin, in memory of his mother, whose maiden name was Smith. From then on it was called the village of Smithville.
According to the Historical Atlas of Lincoln and Welland, Ontario Compiled by H. R. Page, page 10. In 1787, Richard Griffin, with a family of seven sons and four daughters, from what was then called Nine Partners, N.Y., settled on the Jordan, (20 mile creek) now Smithville. Before removing the whole family to the new home, they encamped at the mouth of the stream for a few weeks, while Abraham, and Edward, two of the elder sons, followed the stream on Monday to their lands, where working to clear the ground and erect dwellings until Saturday returned to the encampment by the same crooked route. Soon however the whole family moved into their new mansion in the forest, each son and daughter almost immediately selected lots for themselves, settled in life and soon began amongst other duties to replenish the earth.
In an essay written in 1878 by Abishai Morse -- "In or about 1792 a Methodist class was organized in Smithville, or, as it was then called, Griffin Settlement. There was a large family of these Griffins and they had considerable influence in the community in those days. They all became members of the class and in a short time it became an important institution in the locality, and many families of the district became connected with it."
THE GRIFFIN FAMILY
At the close of the Revolutionary War, Richard Griffin and his son Ned left their old home atTarrytown, Holland, New York State, and went to seek a new home in Canada. Proceeding downthe river Niagara, they crossed the river to Niagara at the same place where Joseph Wardell andfamily crossed in the "Wardell Ark." Going west they came to the River Jordan which they followed,looking for a suitable place to build a home. At last they found a location that seemed ideal. The oldriver with its flats, pines, oaks, beeches and maples, seemed more beautiful and sublime than anythingthey had dreamed of. So Richard Griffin decided at once that this was to be his future home. Heand his son Ned located a homestead of eight hundred acres; and immediately proceeded to build alog cabin. When it was completed, he left Ned to stop up the cracks and chinks with mud, and tomake the household furniture, such as tables, stools and cupboards. Richard then started on thereturn journey to Tarrytown to get the rest of the family. Ned stayed behind, and was kept busilyengaged in making their home habitable. For six long months, he never heard the sound of human voice, nor saw any living being, except the prowling wild animals, which made the forests ring withtheir wild cries at night. He was alone--miles away from any other habitation--in a howlingwilderness, never knowing whether or not his father and family would arrive in safety, and with nocompanionship, save that of the beasts of the forests from whom he had to guard himself night andday. It was enough to terrify the bravest heart. But he was sustained by an unfaltering trust in Godand plenty of hard work. He alone in that six months cleared an acre of land, besides the work ofconstruction about the cabin.
As the time approached when Ned might expect his loved ones home, he shot a deer, and hadall in readiness for a feast of welcome when they should arrive. At last the happy day came when hesaw the little company approaching in the distance. Joyfully he ran to meet them, and led them backto the home he had worked so hard to prepare. In his great joy he jumped upon the table andexecuted a dance-- the first dance in Smithville--for that little log cabin was the beginning of the nowpopulous town of Smithville, and Richard Griffin and his son Ned, the first white men to settle there. | Griffin, Richard (I25474)

Address Delivered by William H. Partridge, of Newton, Mass., At Templeton, Mass., Wednesday, August 16, 1893
(Extracted in Part)
Seventy miles west of London, sixteen miles south-east of Gloucester, in the County of Gloucestershire, England, on the banks of the river Churn, lies the town of Cirencester. It was founded by the ancient Britons, and when Rome mastered the world she surrounded the locality with massive walls, the ruins of which are still traceable for miles.
In 1066 William the Conqueror, of Normandy, by reason of his conquests, ascended the English throne and soon after incorporated the ancient little French Providence of Normandy, the land of his birth, into his new kingdom. This made the crossing of the narrow English channel easy to this maritime and adventurous people. To England they came in considerable numbers and the interchange of the Norman and British blood has made the English nation what she is today.
Among these bold adventurers came Richard de Pertriche, or his ancestors, the valor of whom secured royal recognition. Duly registered and undisputably recorded is the head of the family, Richard de Pertriche, this being the original and correct form of the name, A.D. 1254, the family receiving from time to time from the Crown certain grants of land in the County Gloucestershire, among which was this known as the Wishanger seat of the Partridge Family, bordering on the County of Wilts.
"The Hamlet of Wishanger is situated about one mile north-west of Miserden. Osculf Musard, of Musarden (as it was formerly spelled), gave Wishanger (then called Riscanger) now pronounced Wessinger, as a foundation for an establishment of Knight Templars, from whom it was passed to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, who held it till their dissolution. It was afterwards granted to Sir Thomas Palmer in the 6th year of Edward the VI. He was attainted of high treason in trying to seat Lady Jane Gray upon the throne, and executed, and his estates confiscated.
In the first year of queen Mary the estate of Wishanger was granted to William Lord Howard. Christopher Bumstead, for some reason, levied a fine upon the manor, and in the 4th year of Mary this estate came for the first time into the hands of the Partridge family, who had been for a long time possessors of several other large estates in this county, dating from Henry Second's time soon after the year 1154."
It was always an important family. These royal grants prove it. It was then also an ancient family and one of the landed gentry. The most noted English genealogists always speak of it "as large settled as Wishanger Manor, in the Parish of Miserden."
Its Norman origin also attests to the family's great antiquity, for the chief of the family, who is described as "Partridge the Norman," migrated during the wars between Stephen and Empress Maud to England. For his military services King Henry II granted to him land in Essex, though the family afterwards settled in Gloucestershire. The Manor house is very old and picturesque, as the interesting photographs in my possession of this ancient home of the Partridge's and its surroundings readily attest.
This Manor house was rebuilt, and the present porch added in 1578, forty-two years before our Pilgrim Fathers first set foot on these cold New England shores, by Robert de Petriche, who married Anne, daughter of John Ernie of Cannings, Wiltshire. The coat of arms of Robert and his wife are impaled in imperishable stone over the door of this porch, while a quaint sun dial, which is mentioned in Burke's Landed Gentry," still higher up holds watch and ward as it has done for centuries. This Manor house is a veritable and valuable relic of the grim past. These walls for centuries have sheltered and comforted the valorous gentry and yeomany of this one of the most ancient and respected families in the English realm, its origin reaching far back to the oldest peerage in the present House of Lords, that being Baron de Roy, A.D. 1802.
What an opportunity for the imigination! Those halls have rung with many a laugh and resounded with the clanging of valerous Norman warriors and knights, while they have also been silent witnesses for centuries of the routine of pleasures and woes, the inheritance of every family.
The Miserden Parish records, which date from 1578, contain this quaint entry: "This 10th January was buried Old Jean out of Mr. Partridge's house." From father to son this estate has come for many generations and is a monument of the perpetuity of at least one wise and well ordered family. The coat of arms with its fine motto, "Dum spiro spero," (while there's breath there's hope) one of the most chaste in the kingdom is as follows:
ARMS- described thus: Chequy Argent and sable on a bead gules, three escallops Or.
CREST- but of a ducal coronet Or, a horse's head, sable.
MOTTO-"Dum spiro spero."
Colors for LIVERY-White and black with red piping and plated buttons.
In the rectory of Miserden have lived the spiritual fathers who have ministered to the family all down through time. In the little village church we find a monument beautifully carved in the memory of Anthony Partridge and Alice Cartwight, his wife, who died in 1625. It has a carved coat of arms of both families. The present rector (1893) Rev. Robert B. Earee says of it: "I am never tired of admiring it." In the little cemetery without stands a sarcophagus in memory of the family with an impaled coat of arms but the inscriptions are illegible.
This is the church of our fathers in England. Let us reverence it. I have views of this monument also. I cannot help feeling its great antiquity, that from the teeming loins of this family sprang the other branches of the family known as Horsendon House in Herefordshire, and the Hockham Hall, near Thetford, in the County of Norfolk and the Bishops Woods' Branch in County of Gloucestershire, for Atkyns speaks of this last family "as longe settled at Wishanger." They are all ancient and honorable families and their estates located within a radius of seventy-five miles of each other. To be descendants of either is an honor "for they were all, all honorable men."
But we must not longer linger in the land of song and story. Suffice it to say the intolerance of the 17th century led to a generous migration to New England of some of the best of English blood. Among that adventurous and gifted host came several of the Partridge name..... | Partrydge, Bartylmew (I12984)

After the birth of the first six children the family removed to Litchfield, where a new tract was being developed. On the way thither, between Hartford and Litchfield, another son, William was born.

Since the marriage of Benjamin and Abigail was in 1708, and Benjamin was abut ten years older than Abigail, it is very possible that Benjamin had an earlier wife who was the mother of Samuel. (DB 6/2003) | Gibbs, Benjamin (I29722)
