His date of death was actually 1655 not 1660, making him 95. That's still very old for the era, but a Google search turns up many different sources stating the same info. For the record, all of my grandparents on my dad's side made it past 90 and my dad is currently 93 and still ticking. As far as the name thing goes, Pengruffwnd is supposedly the Welsh equivalent of Griffith, which then became Griffin after the immigration of Edward and John. I guess the only way to know for sure is to put feet on the ground over there and poke around a few public record facilities and library's. Sounds like a road trip to me.
