- Isaac Griffin enlisted in January 1776 in the Continental army, for one year, in Colonel Haslet's regiment, 1st Company, Captain John Patten. He went into active Service in August, and was under fire several times. He re-enlisted for the duration of the war. During his service he was mainly instrumental in capturing the leader of a group of Tories, lead by Cheney Clow. The adherents of Clow hated Griffin intensely, and after the close of the war his personal safety was endangered.
