Jerusha Griffin 1736-1813

There are only three references to Jerusha in the historical records of Killingworth. The first is her birth as recorded with the rest of her family in the pages of the land records. The second comes from the records of the Congregational 2nd Society were she is recognizes as an "owner of the covenant" the epitome of religious commitment within the Congregational community. And within the history of Killingworth she is mistakenly listed as her sister Thankful's daughter, Thankful having assumed the role of head of the house on their fathers death.
