What the record says
Thomas Griffin and Meeks Griffin (died September 29, 1915) were American brothers and prominent Black farmers who were wrongfully executed for the 1913 murder of John Q. Lewis. Their conviction, as well as that of their co-defendants, Nelson Brice and John Crosby, was based on the testimony by a fifth codefendant, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in exchange for his cooperation.
