I'm a long way away from being any kind of expert in US genealogy, but just looking at the source you have, I would say it is not enough to add the information to Samuel Griffin's profile.
The source is a published book from 1917, which is a highly derivative work. Does it cite sources? If so, it's better to try and find the original source. Only if the original source no longer exists, but was still in existence when the book was published, would I cite the book, along with a note what the book is citing.
Since I cannot look into the book itself, there is no way for me to know if this Samuel Griffin is actually the right Samuel Griffin. Are there any other identifiers given in the book, aside from the name? If not, you'd have to be especially certain that this is the right Samuel Griffin. An original source can help with that, as can looking into if there were other Samuel Griffin's at the time.
My advice would be to use this bit of information as a jumping off point to seek out original records. You'd have to ask someone with more knowledge about that time and place in the US if you want or need help with that, though.
