Notes for JAMES R HARBERT:

There is some disagreement about whether James Harbert's father was Jesse or Samuel.  However, I believe that this James R is the son of Jesse and Jane for the following reasons.

1. James was listed as single in the 1880 Census (Marsh's 1880 Census, pg 126)

2. Reference in Ira Swiger's book concerning James, son of Jesse, being a cripple and single

3. Jesse and Jane had a son John, while Samuel and Abigail did not

4. James's death was reported by his brother, John

5. James is listed as living with brother John in 1880

 

In the Swiger book, James is listed as James A.  In the Census, he is listed as James R.  However, I still believe he is the same James

Notes for REV. JAMES SCARFF GRIFFIN:

(From "History of Lumberport and surrounding Towns")

(James Griffin) was the first person to unite with the Jones Run Baptist Church, Oct. 9, 1836, and served as Pastor there for several years.  He was one of the organizers of the Broad Run Baptist Association in Lewis Co., and the Mt. Pisgah Association in Gilmer Co., and served Churches there and in the Judson Association for many years.  He served as the fifth Pastor of the Clarksburg Baptist Church from  January 17, 1861 to February 14, 1863.

 

(Ed. Note: the following was sent to Martha Allen Hornbrook.  Date and sender unknown)

 

               Rev. James S Griffin

     Rev. James S. Griffin, the fifth pastor of Clarksburg Baptist church, who served as such pastor from January 17, 1861 to February 14, 1863, was a son of Samuel Griffin, who came from South Wales with his six brothers and settled in Frederick, Virginia.  He was born in Frederick, in the year 1799.  They came to Harrison county in 1803 and located on Brushy fork, in Simpson District, within a few miles of Clarksburg.  Rev. Griffin was married to Miss Martha Harbert of this county, December 14, 1820 and it was about this time that he moved on Jones Run, Eagle district, five miles above Lumberport.

     He was the first person to unite with the Jones Run Baptist church (then called Ten Mile Baptist church), after its organization.  He was baptized into the fellowship of the church by Rev. John Allen, an uncle of the late Deacon James F. Allen of the Clarksburg Baptist church, in July, 1831, which was about three months after the church was organized. At the meeting of the church in January 1833, the subject of this sketch was licensed by the church to exercise his skills in signing, praying and preaching, in the bounds of the association.  In September 1836, the church called a Council, consisting of James Gossans and James Gawthrop, which met with the church October 8, 1836, and on the following day proceeded to his ordination to the full work of the Gospel ministry. Rev. Griffin served as pastor of the Jones Run church for a number of years.

     Rev. Griffin was one of the organizers of the Broad run Baptist Association, at Broad run Baptist church, Lewis County, October 16, 1835, which was before he was ordained in to Gospel ministry.  he was one of the organizers and the first moderator of Mr. Pisgah Association, which was organized at Mr. Pisgah Church, Gilmer County, October 27, 1854.  The churches he served were located mostly within the bounds of Broad Run, Judson and Mr. Pisgah Associations.  He died, Sunday, August 18, 1867 at the age of sixty-eight.  Benjamin S Griffin, on the constituent members of the church during the time of this pastorate, was a brother.  Rev. Griffin has many lineal descendants now living in Harrison County.  Lloyd Griffin, on of our faithful members, who, for a number of years was Assistant Cashier of the West Virginia Bank, then sheriff of Harrison County, Division chief of Internal Revenue Collector, Deputy Banking commissioner, and now Clerk and Treasurer of the city of Clarksburg, is a grandson.  Mrs. Chester (Ollie Griffin) Elliott, Route #1, Wilsonburg, is a great-granddaughter.  Rev. George D. Griffin, one of the noblest of men, who served a successful and inspiring pastor of many of our local churches, now retired and living with a daughter in a happy home in Buchannon, is also a grandson.  A great, great grandson who bears his name is serving his country at present in the armed forces somewhere in the Pacific, having enlisted in the Marines at the beginning of the Second World War.

     Rev. James S. Griffin was a good preacher, a man of strong convictions, stood high in the councils of his brethren, and was known for his unflinching fidelity to his divine calling.

"The first entry in the minute book of the Tenmile Meeting House on April 9, 1831, shows how on Baptist Church grew out of an established church nearby:  "Whereas Brother john Allen had liberty granted him from Hepsibah Church to exercise his gifts in the way of preaching for twelve months in the bounds of the Association resolved by his request, this church gave him the same bounds and length of time and appointed David Harbert clerk to keep a record of all business.  (signed)  John Allen, Sarah Allen, John Gifford, David Harbert, Elizabeth Harbert, Mary Ann Swiger, Jane Harbert, Malinda Stout, Massy Gifford, Margaret Madden, James Griffin, Martha Griffin, Ruth Hall, Jerre Harbert, Julian Martin, Agnes Dye." (Jones Run Baptist Church, Minute Book; West Virginia University Library)  The Tenmile Church moved to Jones Run and on January 13, 1855, changed the name to the Jones Run Baptist Church.  The last building that housed the congregation (dedicated 1902) burned in 1959 after being struck by lightning.  The church no longer exists."

(ed. note:  Since Achsah's children were born beginning in the mid-1830's, I doubt that she was born abt 1820 as the 1880 Census suggests.  It is much more likely that she was born abt 1811; therefore I have decided to use the Cemetery dates.  In 1860, she claimed Ohio as her birth state; in 1870 she claimed Virginia))

(Ed, note: Interestingly, Lemuel's daughter Lucretia is not listed on this Census.  According to her marriage record, she was born about 1845 and therefore should have been included.  Lemuel's wife, Lucretia, died in 1847, cause unknown.  If either the marriage record or the census age is incorrect, it would be possible for Lucretia, age 3, to be the child of Lemuel and grandchild of David, particularly if Lemuel wife died in childbirth.)
