• Name	GRIFFING, Benjamin
  Birth	10 Dec 1774	Lyme, New London, CT, USA   [3, 4]
  Gender	Male
  Census	9 Sep 1850	Rome, Ashtabula, OH USA   [5]
  	Benjamin Griffin / Age 79 / M / Farmer / Place of Birth CT
  Death	14 Mar 1866	Jackson, Jackson, MI, USA   [1]
  	On the 14th inst, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. S. G. Byrne, Benjamin Griffing, aged 95 years 4 months
  Notes	Both on Benjamin’s death notice in 1866 in Michigan and in the 1850 census the age given would indicate he was born around December 1770, not December 1774 as documented in Clara Stone’s Griffing genealogy record from 1881. The source of Stone’s assertion of 1774 as birth year is unclear, and remains an open question for me. [1, 6]
