On Ancestry there is the will of a Thomas GRIFFITHS of the Town of Mitcheldean in the County of Gloucester, Quarryman, dated December 31st 1802, which looks to be relevant to your post.

In it he mentions his wife, Ann GRIFFITHS, nephew, Thomas GRIFFITHS, sister, Betty EVANS, niece, Ester FRYER, brothers Henry, William and George GRIFFITHS and the four children of his late sister, Mary WILLIAMS. He also mentions friends Joseph HUGHES, Thomas BENNETT and Richard PREECE.

He makes provision for a headstone for himself "as I have put up for my late wife" (Mary HARRISON?).

Other parts of the will make it clear he was the owner of stone quarries.

One of the executors was duly sworn on May 10th 1806.
