Polly Griffin Dowd daughter of Samuel and Marah Griffin

There are a number of variations on the name of "Polly" Griffin. In the records of the Congregational Church the name is written as Polle. On the line above her is a Phebe. When the church records were transferred for safe keeping into the land records the transcriber accidentally wrote the "Phebe". This name was subsequently miswritten as "Robe" the "PH" being misread as "R".
