Herbert M. GRIFFITHS

1836 - 1910  (74 years)

• Name	Herbert M. GRIFFITHS
  Birth	Mar 1836	New York   [1, 2, 3]
  	According to census records from 1850 through 1910, Herbert was born in New York. But it is of interest to note that he was enumerated with his parents in Portsmouth, VA in the 1840 Census as "under 5", suggesting that he was actually born in Virginia.
  Gender	Male
  Death	After 23 Apr 1910  [4]
  	His enumeration in the 1910 census is the last that I have been able to locate.
