Cemetery Notes of Bill Griggs: "He is the son of Dr. William Griggs and Rachel Hubbard Griggs.

His first wife, Hannah Hannaford Griggs (1651-1679) and his second wife, Thankful Baker Griggs (1647-1929) are buried at this cemetery.

I know of seven Griggs family members buried at this cemetery and I've listed them all here on Find-A-Grave. There is a good chance that other Griggs family members are also here. I would greatly appreciate good photos of the markers. While there, if you would please inquire as to other Griggs family members that might be buried there. Thank you. Bill G."
