He was a direct descendant of Edward Griffin Sr. (b.ca. 1602), who immigrated from Wales to Flushing, Queens, New York, and who was a son of John Griffith and Ann Langford. Some descendants of Edward Sr. had immigrated to Ontario after the Revolutionary War, and some of these later moved to British Columbia.
