John Rousey Griffin was born in Alabama in 1834. He was living in Cass Co., Texas in 1861 when he married my ggrandmother, Lucinda Jane Carson. They were married in 1861 at Hickory Hill, Texas. He left for the Civil War before March 22, 1862, when my ggrandmother was born. He was gone until 1865 when his aunt brought John and her son home in a covered wagon from Mississippi. Both were ill. John died five months after returning to Hickory Hill, Texas. He is buried in the Simmons Cemetery next to Elizabeth, who I presume to be his mother. He was a member of the Ninth Texas Cavalry, Co. F. which fought at Vicksburg, Mississippi.
