From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Griffis was a circuit rider in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

In 1822, he was assigned to the Thames circuit alongside James Jackson. The pair oversaw an increase of 47 members, 27 white settlers, and 20 Wyandott Indians who moved to Amherstburg from Ohio. This brought total circuit membership to 321[1]
