Notes
a. Note:   ork. At 4 weeks of age her parents took her to Michigan with an ox team and covered wagon, Catherine's father Franklin Fletcher went with them to help care for
 the baby. They return to Wayne in 1853.
 I don't know where Henry J. Campbell was born, but he died in Elmira on Washington Ave. I think Alice was also born in the Griffeth family home (where we used to live) in the town of Wayne.
 I hope this helps a little. I will tell you what other information of the family I have; On the trip to Michigan, the Indians stole grandfather's cow; they were taking along for milk for the baby (Mary) but they found it in the Maume swamp. Grandfather Fletcher family came from a city in Conn, I think Hartford but am not sure, they settled at Grove Springs on Lake Keuka. Great Grandfather was a jeweler. That is where the silver spoons came from. Grandmother (Catherine) remembered
 witchcraft and seeing people publically whipped in whipping posts, in her way home from school. I have a record of dates, the different members of Griffeth & Fletchers, it is at Sara's (Mrs. Frank Glover) 8 Pine St., Bath, telephone
 no 443M. It is copied & in the DeWitt family Album. In my chiffimer, you call her if you need any dates, (she works from 6 to 12 p.m.) but I don't think it gives any places. If you have aunt Mary's marriage certificate, it would tell where Uncle Henry was from at that time. I think he came from Pennsylvania.
 [Possibly Alice's brother, Dewitt S.] Note: Handwriting found in old scrap paper, hard to read. Old English writing style.
  Books of Old Testament in Ryme. The Great Jehovah speaks to us. In Gensis and Exodus. Leviticus and Numbers see. Followed by Deuteronomy. Joshua and Judges sway the land. Ruth glean the sheaf with trembling hand. While Samuel, Kings and Chronicles appear. Ezra Nehemiah now. Esther the beautious mourner show. Job speaks in sighs. David in Psalms. The Proverbs teach to scatter alms. Ecclesiastes then comes on. With the sweet Songs of Solomon. Isiah Jeremiah then. With Lamentations hold his pen. Ezekiel Daniel Hosea's lyre. Swells Joel Amos Obadiah. Next Jonah Micah Nahum come. While lofty Habakkuk finds room. And Zephaniah and Haggai call. Rapt Zachariah builds his walls. And Malachi with garments sent. Includes the Ancient testament. Mary Rispah Campbell 354 Euclid Ave. Elmira, N.Y. 218 Princeton Ave., Corning, N.Y. 14 Nov 1965 Dear Ruth, It was so nice hearing from you. Yes I have many questions that I hope you can answer. The DeWitts - Julia's family records were destroyed. I have been corresponding with a Lt. Col. G. G. Griffeth on the west coast. His family came from Michigan. He has done all of the early research - but we still have a few answers to search out. He is 83 years old. (My mother's age.)
 I would like very much to know what you have. These questions might help.
 Where did we get the name Rispah? What do you know about the Fletcher Family? Dates are important. I have nothing here.
 I have many pictures - your mother when she was a little girl, etc. Some Some of them I know. Some I do not. I have one of Olive Rispah Fletcher - Was she Catherine Fletcher Griffeth's (wife of Horace Griffeth) mother?
 I see you have the name Rispah in your family. Whenever you have time we will be most happy to hear from you. Thanks so much for your records you have a nice family. I think I told you of mine also.
 I shall send you a "Tree" - as soon as I get a few more answers. I do hope Mr. G. on the coast publishes the genealogy. If he doesn't, I shall endeavor to do so.
 With Love, Evalena M. Stickler Aug 27, 1970 Dear Ruth and Harold, I have made out a chart - Genealogical - for your family starting with
 your two sons names - so that you could fill in the Ames Family etc - thought as long as there was room there. It might be nice for you to have the information all together. Someone in the family always is interested enough to keep these things. This way it does not take up much space. It represents a lot of work though and of course I think most interesting. Your will like the stories - at least mine do.
 I have written down your cottage number - and I hope your address is Penn Yan. Didn't write that down. The summer is going so fast. I have been
 making dill pickles - My family wont eat a store-bought one anymore.
 Sincerely, Evalena 2 Sept 1970 Dear Ruth, Someday when we have time - you must see my books. What I sent you is just a direct-line descent picture or Genealogical tree. with notes. I have proofs of each generation and some papers that you would probably like to have copies made.
 The only copier that I can get to is in the Library - Elmira - or upon the hill at Corning Comm. College. but I could make you up a note book of those lines - Griffeth - Gardiner - Doane etc - and you see there are some mother lines where we do not know the last name of the wife as yet - always work to do in Gen. Should not have tried to write a letter on such a small piece of paper - but wanted to show off my stationary.
 Yesterday I just finished a doll (china, blond -) 20" tall - dressed 1890ish for my daughter. I have many yet to do but never get to do more than 2 or 3 a year. That is my fun too. Genealogy comes first - that is the most fun - although it takes time - travel & money that I don't have.
 Now here is really why I wrote to you this morning - Thanks so much for telling us about Ken. E. - He called himself last Sunday - ask him to take over a duty for him - in the Sons of Am. Rev. Soc. - said he wouldn't be available for the Oct meeting - That he was going back in hospital. We were shocked to hear of the seriousness of his illness. - He is most important to our Historical Soc. etc and Corning. Everyone likes Ken. We feel sad that such things have to happen. Why?
 Do write once in a while - not many left of our tribe either. It is always good to hear from you.
 Sincerely, Evalena Arthur - itize is bothering my hand this morning - Hope you can read this.

d. Note:   1855 New York State Census Why?
 Researching the New York 1855 State Census Records makes sense because her brother, Jay Griffeth [342], died in 1850 in
 Hamburg, Livingston Co., MI and she was married in 1858 in Schuyler Co., New York, United States.
  Background
 Some background on Mary Rispah Griffith [87]: She was born on 16-MAR-1836 in Wayne (Bradford), Steuben, New York, United States, and she died on 25-JAN-1929 in Elmira, Chemung, New York, United States. She married Henry J. Campbell [86] on 27-JUN-1858 in Schuyler Co., New York, United States, and had the following children: Alice [81] (1859), Charles [315] (1864), and Dewitt [229] (1866). Her parents were Horace Griffith [227] (b. 28-DEC-1805 in Herkimer, Herkimer Co., NY, d. 15-MAR-1883 in Wayne, Steuben Co., NY), and Catherine Olive Fletcher [228] (b. 9-NOV-1811 in Sheffield, Fairfield, Connecticut, United States, d. 11-MAR-1887 in Wayne, Steuben, New York, United States).
