Hagar Griffin

From the first moment I read her name, Hagar Griffin, I wondered about her.  She was just a small girl and living 700 miles from her mother.  I believe she was 9 or 10 years old when she left for Texas in 1853.  I believe that whole time prior to her migration to Texas, she lived with her mother.  I had read somewhere (lord only knows where in the now thousands of documents I have read late at night), that she may have died when she was 16 years old.  I have never been able to prove it nor have I seen that sentence since.  Ever since I have made contact with the Griffin descendants, I have found more records.  I sometimes imagine it as a book that grows pages.  I look back to my original research and another hint or document is uncovered.  I was searching graves again and low and behold, Hagar Griffin buried in a Houston Cemetery.  I couldn't wait to tell the Griffin family.  Then I found her death certificate.  This told me several things: her age, that her descendants did not know where she came from only Florida and that she married a David King and she was a widow.  Also her birthdate.  Her address is there as well, and I googled it... there is a car wash established there now, but if you go to the next block, there are some lovely houses.
