He was never married.

He had a general store on Bason Road and moved to Texas after the Civil War. He kept land in North Carolina which his brother administered after his death. Dr. Thomas E. Griffis made frequent trips from Texas back to North Carolina to administer his late brother's land, and it was on one of these trips that his daughter, Sarah Bell Griffis, met her husband, Capt. Samuel Moore Holt.

He was one of five children, four brothers and one sister, all of whom except Dr. T. E. Griffis died before he did.
