John Griggs was born in 1826, possibly in Pike County, Alabama. He married Orpha Williams on 19 October 1855 in Pike County. They were the parents of twelve children.

John was the first barber in Girard. He served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. His pension application states that his right arm was broken twice during the war and was never set correctly. This led to a permanent disability.

Son of Mary Griggs. Brother of William Newton Griggs, Elizabeth Davenport, and Mary Ann Davenport.
