From the 1830 census it appears that Samuel and Rachel werealso the parents of another son (born 1820-25); and three additionaldaughters (born 1810-20; 1820-25; and 1825-30). None of these appear onthe 1850 census or in Samuel's Will, so it is presumed that they possiblydied young or moved away).

"There was a John Griggs who was a resident of Orange County, Virginiain the 1740s. I was told this by a researcher that he was probably thefather of at least one son, Minus Griggs. John had some problems withthe sheriff who chased him off his (?) land with a rifle. Minus Griggsmarried Jane (- - - -) and they were married residents of Orange Countyin the 1740's. They were both witnesses to a legal document in that timeperiod. We can assume that Minus's birth date would probably be around1720 or before, which would make John probably sometime in the late1600's.
"Minus and Jane Griggs moved to Granville County, North Carolina. Wefind first mention of him here on October 28, 1751 as a witness to a landgrant of Philemon Bradford near the Tarr River. On October 25, 1753, hereceived a grant of 328 acres on both sides of the Tarr River. He soldthis land on December 4, 1753, to John Landess, late of Pennsylvania, for£65 current Virginia currency. At this time Minus was described as aplanter and was of St. John's Parish. On November 4, 1753, Minus hadreceived a 623 acre land grant on both sides of Aaron's Creek.
"Minus served under Captain Andrew Hampton as he is listed on theGranville County muster role of the militia on October 8, 1754. Apossible brother, Leonard Griggs, was listed on this muster roll inCaptain Richard Coleman's company. Both companies were under Col. Wm.Eaton. Nothing else is know of this Leonard Griggs, but Minus had agrandson by the same name.
"The last record of Minus Griggs was from an unpublished Will datedOctober 7, 1760 and proved February 10, 1761." (See above) "The Hamptonswere neighbors of Minus Griggs, and his daughter Jane named Jennie Griggsmarried Ezekiel Hampton. He was born in 1735 in Orange County, Virginia,and died in 1811 at Jack's Creek, Yancy County, North Carolina.
"An Elizabeth Griggs [was] married in Granville County, NorthCarolina, on December 19, 1775, to Benjamin Peeler, so [she] may possiblybe one of the unnamed daughters in the Will. Elizabeth died before 1793and Benjamin died after November, 1799. He was a son of ChristianPeeler, and was born around 1750 in Orange County, North Carolina.
