Asa Brooks and Osmyn Griffing Deeds

James Griffing had two other siblings besides Clarissa (Griffing) Giddings, wife of the town founder, who were affiliated with Table Rock, Nebraska. Rev. Asa Brooks and his wife Permelia (Griffing) Brooks, were apparently planning to migrate to Table Rock along with many others from Luzerne County, but changed their minds after purchasing property from the Nebraska Settlement Association. The deeds below show that the Association purchased the property back in 1858.

Osmyn Griffing did come to Nebraska Territory in 1859 and he lived in Table Rock until sometime in 1866. See Permelia's Memoirs.

Rev. Asa Brooks & Permelia (Griffing) Brooks sell their property in Table Rock to the Nebraska Settlement Company in January 1858

Osmyn Griffing, and his wife Sarah, sell their property in Table Rock to Rev. Charles W. Giddings in July 1866
