Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences; Forty-Three Years in America: From April, 1865 to April, 1908 As an introduction to the reminiscences of my American life a brief chapter on my early days will be appropriate. I was born at a place called Penmark in the Vale of Glamorgan, January 1st, 1845. My parents' names were Thomas and Lydia Griffith. My father was a native of Saint Donat's, Glamorganshire. I have no knowledge of his parents nor of the date of his birth. My mother was one of thirteen children all of whom were born in the same house at Llanffa, St. Bride's Parish, Glamorganshire. She was a daughter of David and Lydia Nicholas. When I was yet an infant my parents moved to Merthyr Tydfil, where my dear mother died in March, 1849, at the early age of 27 years, and was buried at Pisgah, Pyle. After mother's death, as I was the only child living, my grand-parents, David and Lydia Nicholas took me to raise me, who then lived at Kenfig Hill, having moved there from Llanffa - and father remained at Merthyr. It was thus in childhood life I was brought to Kenfig Hill. In the early part of 1860 my father after several months of illness died at grandmother's home at Kenfig Hill, and was buried in the same grave with my mother at Pisgah. Thus at the age of fifteen I was left alone without father, mother, brother or sister. My grandparents were devoted Christians, and they and Aunt Mary, the youngest child, were faithful attendants at Pisgah, hence they saw that I attended also, and thus Pisgah became my mother church, and this leads me naturally to note a few facts respecting my mother church.
