• Notes

  I have very tentatively identified Winifred Griffin as the wife of Gideon Harrison. There are two facts that tend to support this conclusion. First, an Anne Griffin died in Halifax Co. in 1798 naming her daughter Winnifred Harrison as her sole heir. Halifax Co. Wills, 1781-1824, Book 3., p. 311. We know that Gideon was living in Halifax Co. at the time the will was probated. Second, Gideon Harrison named a daughter Winifred, which fits with the assumption that Winifred Griffin married Gideon Harrison. pp.125-6, I Esbell Griffin...son James Griffin one Sorrel horse and the second choice of my beds & furniture...Daughter Mary one negro woman named Luce and one girl by the name of Phillis also my loom and Geer...Daughter Winnifred one Negro girl Rose and her increase, her first choice of beds with the furniture, two cows & calves...son Michael one negro girl Nancy and her increase...son Brinkley one negro woman by the name of Sabinah...son Eli one negro man named Dick...15 November 1786. (her mark). February Court 1787.
