Excerpt from Genealogy of the Descendants of Jasper Griffing Much interest has been taken, during the last thirty or forty years, in the collection and arrangement of Family Histories and Genealogies. As a result of these efforts there have been laid before the public many interesting compilations. Circumstances and events that must other wise, in the natural order of things, soon have passed into oblivion, are thus placed on record, for the benefit of the present and future generations. From the events and occurrences of the past, it is the part of wisdom to derive instruction and guidance for the activities of the future. In this volume it is intended to give a history of jasper griffing, a native of Wales, who settled in Southold, Long Island, about two centuries ago, and of his descendants down to the present time so far as known.
