Griffin moved to Sangamon/Christian county, Illinois with his parents in 1829 from a small community, present-day, Means, Menifee Co, KY. He married his wife, Margrett Scaiefe on October 26, 1854 in Clay county, IL. In the summer of 1855, they moved to the Kansas territories with his parents, then to Missouri in 1856, but returned to Illinois between June, 1861 and 1863 to live near his wife's family. Due to his poor health, he was not eligible to enlist as a soldier in the Civil War. He passed away eight months after his sixth child was born.
