Sometime between 1850 and 1854 the entire family left Lincoln County and moved to the Arkansas/Texas/Indian Territory area, where Griffin likely died, possibly in Benton County, Arkansas where he last appears in 1862. Their eldest child, Edith, married on 3 Oct 1854 and went with her husband to California. Malinda is on the 1870 census in Benton County, Arkansas, but by 1880 she has relocated, with some more of her family, near her daughter Edith in Paskenta, Tahama County, California. |
