• Brimstone:  mountain homeplace of the Griffiths
  Only a few families live now in what is known as "the head of Brimstone" and no one lives where the old home places were around the mountain tops. Only a few chimneys and fruit trees mark where the subjects of this story lived and raised their families. But most of the remaining families can trace their ancestors back to Revolutionary War Joseph Griffith.

The following information was provided by Toby Turner.

ISAAC GRIFFITH (ABRAHAM², HOWELL¹)¹⁹ was born March 5, 1720 in Richland, Pennsylvania²⁰. He married (1) MARY ANN BURSON²¹ November 1744 in Buckingham MM, Bucks County, Pennsylvania²², daughter of JOSEPH BURSON and RACHEL POTTS. She was born April 9, 1721 in Gilbert's Manor, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania²³, and died Bet. 1769 - November 27 1773. He married (2) ANN ROBERTS^24,25 November 27, 1773 in Loudoun County, Virginia²⁶, daughter of OWEN ROBERTS and JANE WILLIAMS. She died Aft. 1773²⁶.

ISAAC and ANN continued to reside in Richland and Rockhill Townships until 1769, probably on two or three tracts acquired at different dates by his father. The will of ABRAHAM GRIFFITH, Sr., proved in 1760, indicates clearly that ISAAC, a younger son, was the mainstay of the family at that time, as to him is delegated the care of his mother, the sale of the estate, and the payment of minor legacies. He acquired the homestead in Rockhill by deed from his brother ABRAHAM immediately following the death of their father and apparently lived thereon until 1769, when he took a certificate for himself, his wife, his minor children, and his mother, to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting in Baltimore County, Maryland.* This certificate is dated 2 mo. 16, 1769. His son-in-law, JOSEPH SHAW, and family, followed them to Maryland in 1770, but returned to Richland ten years later. ISAAC GRIFFITH and his family seem to have remained in Maryland.

When MARY ANN died, ISAAC eventually married ANN ROBERTS BURSON which set off a controversy as the marriage was considered inappropriate.

*In the "Friends' Intelligencer" of 12 mo. 15, 1823, the following extract from Gunpowder Monthly Meeting records is given: "Twenty-second of Ninth month, 1781, ISAAC GRIFFITH's paper condemning his misconduct in marrying his former wife's brother's widow was read and was satisfactory. The case was on hand for two years." (Perhaps it took the Meeting that long to trace the relationship.) [Source: Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Clarence Roberts, page 214, 215]

However, I have found the following explanation of Isaac in Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Volume 6: "ISAAC, a widower, of Gunpowder monthly meeting, Maryland and ANN BURSON, a widow, of Goose Greek particular or preparative meeting and Fairfax monthly meting, proposed their marriage intentions to Fairfax monthly meeting, which this Meeting refused to approve on account that they were brother and sister by Affinity, she being his former wife's brother's widow; the Meeting advised them to drop their intentions; but they were reported to have married November 27, 1773 (in another way) and were disowned May 28, 1774. ISAAC's children by his former wife (JOSEPH, JOHN and JAMES) were received on certificate from Gunpowder monthly meeting, Maryland, June 25, 1774. Fairfax men's meeting returned ISAAC's certificate to Gunpowder monthly meeting for action and he was disowned by that Meeting. In 1781, he asked for reinstatement which was approved by the quarterly meeting and he was received on certificate from Gunpowder monthly meeting December 22, 1781 (although he had been living at Fairfax, he belonged to Gunpowder). " It is further noted that his first wife was also named ANN and their eleven children are mentioned by name (all of whom were received on certificate from Richland monthly meeting, Pennsylvania by Gunpowder monthly meeting, Maryland on May 24, 1769. There is no clue to the maiden name of ANN BURSON (widow) who married 2nd 1773 ISAAC GRIFFITH above, whose 1st wife was ANN BURSON. [We know now that her maiden name was ROBERTS.]

MARY ANN BURSON's date of death is estimated as follows: she was accepted into Gunpowder Monthly Meeting in 1769 and her husband married ANN ROBERTS in 1773. Therefore, she died between those two dates.

For ANN ROBERTS, I've found the name ANNE DICKEY listed by CLARENCE ROBERTS in Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Mr. LECKEY also use the name ANN DICKEY, showing that BENJAMIN married her in Loudoun County. These records show their children as: JAMES (born September 26, 1763 and serving in the War of the Revolution and marrying JANE ORLTON in 1788. The children of BENJAMIN and ANN DICKEY are shown to be: WILLIAM, born June 21, 1789; JOHN, born December 15, 1790; BENJAMIN born September 30, 1792; ELIZABETH, born July 19, 1794 marrying a FISHER; JOSEPH, born November 23, 1796, marrying his distant cousin, MARGARET; RACHEL, born December 13, 1798 marrying a DENMAN; ANN, born December 5, 1800 marrying a CHEYNEY; JAMES, born December 3, 1802; and TAMOR, born January 22, 1805, marrying a CHEYNEY. [Source: Genealogical Records of Blackledge, Burson, Carter Families, compiled by Howard L. Leckey, page 59]

In November, 1773, ANNE GRIFFITH, formerly BURSON, offered proposal of marriage to Fairfax Monthly Meeting with ISAAC GRIFFITH, who being her brother by former marriage, Friends thought them too near of Kin, declined their proceeding. Nevertheless, they have since married out of unity with Friends.  [Source: Early Church Records of Loudoun County, Marty Hiatt, page 125]

When ANN ROBERTS BURSON married ISAAC GRIFFITHS (whose first wife was MARY ANN BURSON), the Quakers viewed this intermarriage of in-laws as inappropriate. Consequently, ISSAC and ANN GRIFFITHS were dismissed May 28, 1774 from Fairfax Monthly Meeting (Hinshaw).  [Source: Burson Index, compiled by William M. Marsteller, San Francisco, CA, 1995]

They apparently did not have any children.
