Caroline Clatterbuck was born in Caroline County, Virginia sometime between 1795 and 1800, the daughter of
Reuben Clatterbuck and Martha "Patsy" Griffin. In 1810 she moved with her family to Shelby County, Kentucky where she married George
Washington Griffin on August 14, 1816, in a double wedding with her sister, Nancy. Sometime between 1820 and 1830 she moved to
Callaway County, Missouri. Caroline and George had at least 4 children, Martha "Patsy" (after her grandmother) , Leroy C., Jane C., and
Mary. The 1830 census shows two young sons, so there may have been another son. Caroline died before 1838, as she is not mentioned in
her father's will, but her daughters, Jane and Mary are. She is not found in the 1840 Census. It is not known what happened to George Griffin.
He is not found in the 1840 census in Callaway County. There is a George Griffin in the 1840 Census in Shelby County, Kentucky. Whether
