Note: I have a group sheet from a relative who has put his middle initial as "R", but cannot confirm this.

("History of Henry County" has that he was a captain of Company K, 38th Regiment under the command of Col. Isaac Carrington of Pittsylvania Court House which was Chatham County, VA. NOTE - This has been disputed by relatives as being incorrect information given at time of book. The info was added to the back of his group sheet. (New information given by an ancestor, Kathy Harrold of Winston-Salem that he never served in the Civil War nor did he have a middle name).

He was the father of George Ira Griggs and husband of Frances Wills Griggs.
