The Griffith family legend is that an ancestor of Evan Griffith was the second twin son of a lord and missed out on the inheritance due to the law of primogeniture.
Following Welch families is more difficult in Wales than in England because there were no family names, only patronymics. So Evan's father may have had Griffith as a Christian name in which case Evan was was called Evan ab Griffith while his sisters would have been Sarah verch Griffith. "Ap" or "ab" meant "son of", "verch" meant "daughter of". If Griffith's father was called Owen, then Griffith was Griffith ab Owen. When Welch emigrants left Wales the Anglo-Saxon officials gave them family names leaving out the "ab" und "verch".

Willoughby Griffith born Mar. 20, 1766 in Fauquier Co., Va. died May 26, 1841 in Fleming Co., Ky. Willoughby Griffith took out a marriage bond in Boy1e Co., Ky. on April 5, 1794 to marry Mary Ann Owens (Ow6). Her brother Jeremiah Owens was bondsman. They were married Apr. 8, 1794 near Danville, Boyle Co., Ky. and left the neighborhood of Danville Ky to settle near Washington in Mason Co. Ky where they remained until 1801/2 when they moved to Fleming Co Ky about ½ mile from Flemingsburg. The moving is likely to have been caused by title problems arising from grants being sold in Virginia to planters who moved to Ky at a much later date. The settlers who cleared the land and fought off the Indians were often deposessed of the improved land which they claimed but failed to get a valid title to.

In 1757 when William Griffith died, his son (and signatory) Orlando Griffith continued to live on "Black Acre." In 1758 Orlando resurveyed the area, increasing its acreage to 708 acres and renaming it "Griffith's Chance." Ultimately he held 1,002 acres and land extending as far as today's Greenfield Mills. The little waterfalls in the Monocacy were known as Griffith Falls. CALENDAR OF MARYLAND STATE PAPERS--THE BLACK BOOKS [Volume I, page] 227
