FOREWORD

The publication of the Griswold Family Genealogy has been
delayed from time to time in the effort to obtain the fullest data
possible. It has been a labor of love with less than three hundred
dollars a year for actual expenses, and its inadequacy, by reason
of the extreme difficulty in obtaining records, is fully recognized
by the compiler.

The destruction of much valuable material has been met with.
Church and other records are often kept in structures easily
destroyed by fire and Town records have been destroyed likewise.
All available records have been carefully searched.

Every effort has been made to obtain family records, and to
many I am indebted for prompt and complete records, while
others have not responded at all. If these were brought forward
much light would be thrown upon many obscure points. There
has been a great lack of co-operation and a singular reluctance
in giving the data to aid in this great work.

Some discrepancies of one year in dates occur, which may be
accounted for by “Old and New Style,” as previous to 1750, and
sometimes later, the Puritan year commenced with March 25th,
hence the dates occurring in January, February and March may
have been credited to either year. Many other mistakes occur
as many giving even their own ages have varied from one to
three years.

These publications have commenced with Vol. II, the present
book being Vol. Ill; Volume I being reserved for -the future
publication of English and Norwegian records.

The volumes are numbered on the back by stars: Vol. II, **;
Vol. Ill, ***.

Aside from the many annoyances and disappointments con¬
nected with the preparation of this work, it has left many plea¬
sant memories, both from correspondence, and from new and
inspiring friendships. The compiler is grateful for the valuable
assistance of many interested members and descendants of the
family.

EDWARD GRISWOLD

Edward was living in Kenilworth Parish, Warwickshire, Eng¬
land, as late as 1638. Just when the call came to him to seek a
new dwelling-place, to build anew in this far country, where
unmolested he could follow the dictates of his spiritual under¬
standing without fear of the hand of tyranny or the condemnation
of a bigoted prelate; where he could build freely an enduring
heritage of strength for his family, we do not know.

But we do know that he joined the company of Rev. Ephraim
Huit, arriving in Windsor, Conn., some time in 1639. They came
to escape the intolerances of the church and state, and in their
new-found freedom practiced, at times, even more harsh in¬
tolerances.

Edward held an important place in ail the early endeavors, and
at once became active, energetic, a strong and vigorous man,
quickly establishing himself as a leader, a man true to his religious
faith, and strict in its application to his daily life, and the com¬
munity interest.

He was a typical Englishman of that day. Knowing of the
limited opportunity of men of his class to acquire land in England,
not being favored by the nobility, he, as well as others, used
every endeavor to obtain as large holding of lands in Connecticut
as possible, and the larger part of what Edward did obtain was by
true and honest services, and not by mere grant or purchase. He
gave of himself without reservation that the community might
live and prosper; he stood upon his own feet, dependable and
strong. One who helped to leave us a rockbound legacy of per¬
sonal liberty that we must carry on that it may endure forever.

Edward remained in Windsor until 1663. Then he was placed
on a committee to procure the required number of inhabitants
for a new community, later to be called Killingworth. It was two
years before the number was obtained and the settlement com¬
menced. His two sons-in-law, Samuel Buell and Jonas Westover,
also removed there. Here he also served the community in nu¬
merous capacities, and was a leader in all endeavors. He or¬
ganized the church and was its first deacon. Records are numerous
showing the confidence the community and officials had in him.

The Griswold Family

The Wyllys Papers, Vol. XXI, contain many interesting refer¬
ences to his early financial activities. He seems to have been the
Colonial agent of Mr. St. Nicholas, of Knowle, Warwickshire,
England. Both Mr. John St. Nicholas and Rev. Ephraim Huit
lived at Knowle. Evidently there was an acquaintance be¬
tween them before Edward came to America.

In Vol. I-III (1636-1689) Colonial Records, there are numerous
references to Edward. Served as depyty to the General Court
from Aug. 18, 1658, to Mar. 14, 1660; also 1662-63. Served as
deputy from Killingworth 1667-1670; 1671-1677; 1678-1689.

In the study of the life of Edward Griswold, the American
ancestor, it must be kept in mind that we have at present no
authentic record of his parents or birthplace. All the various
statements thus far published in reference to that are pure con¬
jecture, and thus have no standing in genealogical history.

We have thus far collected in the Griswold Family Association,
a large number of English records concerning the Griswold
genealogy, but none have been found in regard to Edward and
his wife except the baptism of their first five children in Kenil¬
worth Parish.

Various names have been given to Margaret, the wife, but let
it be understood that this is without any authority cited, and
that no records thus far found have disclosed her name or parent¬
age; and to set forth something of such importance without
positive authority only results in confusion and disappointment.
For many years search to solve this question has continued by
brilliant historians, without success.

It is unfortunate that the records of the First Congregational
Church of Hartford, Conn., for the first fifty years have been
lost. The same is true of fifty years following 1772. William and
his family evidently resided in Hartford and were members of
this church, where their son William was baptized. It is probable
there were other children but no records are now available.

This marriage brought together two of the most prominent
families and estates in Simsbury. Dr. John Viets, founder of
the family of \ iets, came to New England shortly before 1700.
Settled in Simsbury about 1710. Capt. John, father of Eunice,
was a man of exceptionally strong, forceful character. Captain
of the 4th company of Simsbury 1746. Held many town offices.
Keeper of Newgate prison 1773-75. Had charge of all Tory
prisoners. Died of smallpox 1777.

Elisha was of large physique, jovial and fond of company, ever
ready to join in some prank or fun. A man of worthy and strong
character, and of high respectability. He was a wrorthy member
of St. Andrews Episcopal Church, in North Bloomfield.

During the Revolution he was subjected to many annoyances,
being suspected of having Loyalist sympathies. For a time he
was arraigned almost daily before the Committee of Vigilance,
but nothing was ever found against him. It may be said that
some wrho wore the stigma of Toryism doubtless deserved the
severities meted out to them; others acted only in obedience to
a religious conscience. Elisha was never known to act in any
way against the Patriots. He died Mar. 13, 1803.

The will of Eunice, Simsbury probate, Aug. 20, 1814, mentions
children, Elisha, Alexander V., Samuel, Ezra, Roger; Eunice,
wife of Butler Pinney; Deborah, wife of Bethuel Baker; Sylvia,
wife of Jasper D. Jones.

Note: The compiler, recognizing the problem to determine the
parentage of Susannah and Hannah Merrill, has made an inten¬
sive search of the records and all the circumstances surrounding
the situation.

A “Merrill Memorial” has a statement that Hannah, daughter
of Ebenezer Merrill, baptized at West Hartford, 1728, married
Ebenezer Griswold, but no record is quoted or authority given.

There was a Peter Merrill, his wife Mary Haseltine, who came
to Norwich, Conn., from Haverhill, Mass., the birth of whose
daughters, Susannah, 1725, and Hannah, 1727, appears on
Haverhill records, with the birth of other children. This Merrill
family were the only ones of that name in Norwich at this time.
Other children were born to them in Norwich, among them
Jedediah. Ebenezer removed to Vermont; also Jedediah Merrill.

In view of the circumstances, records and evidence, there seems
to be ample proof that Susannah and Hannah Merrill, daughters
of Peter, were the wTives of Elisha and Ebenezer Griswold. They
were the only Merrill daughters whose birth records would be
consistent with the dates of marriage. (Haverhill town records;
History of Haverhill; Norwich, Conn., town records.)

Ebenezer served in the Revolution; pvt., Capt. Elijah Avery,
Conn. Militia, 1777-1779; responded to the New Haven Alarm.
Farmer. Removed to Vermont and settled in East Orwell, one
of the first settlers. Later removed to Bennington, Vt.

His will, Dec. 23, 1805, Bennington probate, mentions wife
Lydia; children, Ebenezer, Jedediah, Alvan, Rufus, Samuel, and

b. Feb. 17, 1764, d. of Anthony and Hannah (Eells) Ames, of
South Farms, Middletown, Conn.

Daniel was fourteen years of age when his father died in the
Revolutionary service, and as a boy displayed rare gifts of per¬
severance and energy inherited from both his father and mother,
although it is known that the father was rather indolent, but he
could display plenty of fortitude when occasion demanded, as
was shown when he broke both of his thighs, and afterwards
enlisted for the war at fifty years of age.

Daniel, Jun., worked until he had accumulated a thousand
dollars and bought his first land at Springfield, Vt., 1784. At
this time \ermont was a wilderness, hard and forbidding, but
he labored until his farm was fit for occupancy. Then he and
Anna moved there to battle together and make a home.

Anna was a woman of great determination and doubtless this
trait was of great assistance in their labors. As the years came
they were noted for their hospitality and were known and loved
for miles around. They were members of the Congregational
Church, but were most liberal in their views.

It is said that at sixteen Daniel enlisted in the army and served
nine months at New Haven and Peekskill. He is not shown on
Conn. Rev. Rolls, but is listed in Vermont as a Revolutionary
soldier, buried at Springfield. There is a Revolutionary War
Marker at his grave.

The Griswold Family

Caleb Leete Hurd, No. 637, was her uncle, and Mary Griswold
became her aunt by marriage, as well as sister-in-law. Asenath
descends from John Hurd. They resided in Killingworth for a
short time.

Edward served as private in the Revolution for a period of
thirty-seven months.

Soon after Cornelius Chatfield, the first New Englander to
settle at Fairfield, Herkimer county, N. Y., about 1785, Edward
and his brother John came there looking for lands for settlement.
Their intention was to proceed up the Mohawk as far as Utica
and Rome. But they were satisfied at Fairfield, and made an
investment. The old Griswold farm extended into the village.
Their report was so favorable to the home folk that the father,
Daniel B., was induced to bring all the family there about 1790.

About 1802 Edward sold his holdings and removed to Dryden,
N. Y., where he became a prominent and honored citizen. For
a number of years previous to his removal to Herkimer he was
a sailor in the West Indies trade; a hard-working, rugged, rough
and ready man, generous-hearted and neighborly.

In 1818 he deeded a corner of his land to the “good people
of Dryden,” and specified that this land was to be used forever
for church sites, a public square, and burying ground, and they
stand today just as he intended.

Edward died Mar. 21, 1843, and his grave occupies a conspicu¬
ous space in the cemetery which he gave.

August 25, 1934 his memory was honored when a bronze
tablet mounted on a three-ton boulder, directly in front of the
Presbyterian Church, was unveiled with appropriate ceremonies.
The inscription reads: “Edward Griswold, 1758-1843. A
pioneer settler from Killingworth, Connecticut in 1802. Donor
of land for the village green, Presbyterian Church, and the
first cemetery in Dryden. Served in the Revolution. Erected
by the State Education Department, and descendants of Ed¬
ward Griswold, 1934.”

Clock,” and one with his name in it was exhibited at the Ter¬
centenary Exhibition of furniture held in the Morgan Memorial,

Hartford, 1935. He was also known as a trader between Boston
and New York.

In the early days of the “Yankee Peddler,” Daniel commenced
to send his clocks to Illinois, but the good people out there,
fearing his as well as other competition, laid down the law that
no article manufactured elsewhere could be sold in that state.
So Daniel, one of the first to use the “knockdown” system, made

up the material for his clocks in Connecticut and assembled
them in Illinois. **

This was vigorously resented, and he was arrested. Hard-
headed and shrewd, Daniel hired a young lawyer named Abra¬
ham Lincoln, and on the trial of the issues he was acquitted,
and continued in business. Daniel died Dec. 27, 1844 ae 77

Elisha served in the Revolution. Many records have given
credit to the father Elisha as having served in the Revolution
which is incorrect. Records show conclusively that it was Elisha,
Junior. He served as private, 18th Regt., Col. Noah Phelps.

He m. (2) in Bristol, R. I., Nov. 29, 1827, Amelia Smith.

As a young man he was imbued with a great religious spirit,
and in June, 1794, he offered himself as a candidate for Holy
Orders, and was received. His first parishes were St. Matthew,
East Plymouth, St. Mark, Hanvinton; and Trinity, Northfield,
in Litchfield, before his advancement to the priesthood, which
occurred in October 1795, by Bishop Seabury.. For ten years he
served in Litchfield, and was the idol of the children, and parents
as well, an uncommonly perfect man.

In 1803 he was called to St. Michael, in Bristol, R. I., and
urgently asked to accept, which after due thought he did, and
after serving faithfully he was chosen Bishop of the Eastern
Diocese, May 31, 1810.

His life speaks for him. He was a silent man, living pro¬
foundly within himself and his work, tender and devoted to
his family, and his people, and with acquired grace of Christian
humility in his contact with others.

Space does not permit a full review of his life here, and the
reader is referred to “The Life of Rt. Rev. Alexander Viets
Griswold,” by John S. Stone, D.D., and a short review by Julia

(Woodford) Roberts.

Ezra was a zealous member of St. Andrews Episcopal Church
and served in many official capacities in church work. Served
as church clerk several years and gave the church an organized
record of its work and the members.

Ezra as a farmer in Simsbury evidently experienced some of
the usual melon depredations, especially when the melons were
plentiful and good. So he caused the following admonition to be
inserted in the Connecticut Courant, which had first appeared
that year of 1794:

“The subscriber wishes to notify his old honourable customers,
who practice stealing and destroying his fruit every year, that
his water mellons are now almost ripe; and if they do not as usual
destroy the fruit and vines immediately, they will get entirely
ripe; and then somebody or other will be the better for them,
which will be a grievous mortification to those manly gentlemen.
Simsbury, August 4, 1794. Ezra Griswold.,,

He removed his family to Worthington, Ohio, being a member
of the Scioto Company, in 1803, arrived there after 44 days
travel with ox teams, over rough forest trails and almost impassa¬
ble roads, showing the undaunted spirit of the pioneer, and is
said to have, been the first settler to arrive. Anyone in this day
who knows Worthington could hardly envision the heart-breaking
conditions met with by this family, but with perseverance and
steadfast spirit they wrested a home from the wilderness, and
lived to see a prosperous community. And we must remember
that the powTer of the Indians in Ohio had just been broken, and
small bands were still lurking about, loath to give up the lands
to the white settlers.

In this early day money, or any medium of exchange, was a
rarity. Ezra, in order to help the community, issued bills of ex¬
change on his own, as a settlement banker. Illustrated is one
which has been preserved through the years.

He was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church of New
Milford Jan. 20, 1790, and preached there about eleven years,
with increasing interest and general acceptability by the people
of the church society and the community. In 1802 he quietly
resigned and removed receiving the most cordial demonstrations
of good-will and confidence of the entire community.

However, after seven years of preaching with great success
he was notified to stand trial upon a complaint of erroneous
doctrines July 7, 1797. He refused to appear before the Litch¬
field Association, and filed a written defense. The Association
refused to even read it and expelled him. His own church upheld

him, and became highly incensed and withdrew from the Asso-

228, Vol. II, JOSEPH, b. about 1728, in Windsor, Conn. (Jo¬
seph*, Joseph 2, Edward1).

In Vol. II, No. 228, it was stated that this Joseph went on the
Cape Breton Expedition, 1745, and never returned. Recent
research has shown that this entry on the record of Enfield,
Conn., was erased.

Joseph m. in Coventry, Conn., Mar. 28, 1753, Margery
Doggett, b. in Lebanon, Conn., Feb. 21, 1733/4, d. of Deacon
John and Margery (Eames) Doggett. They resided in Coventry
for a time where several of their children were born. Later they
removed to Randolph, Vt., where he had a land grant.

This evidently is the family that figures in the story found in
Hemenway’s Gazeteer, of Joseph’s marriage to an Indian maid
who had saved his life from drowning and nursed him back to
health, and her father, an Indian Sachem, accompanied them to
Vermont. It is a good story but evidently erroneous.

The will of Deacon John Doggett, Windham, Conn., probate,
mentions his daughter Margery, wife of Joseph Griswold.

The will of Joseph, Jan. 2, 1802, Orange county, Vt., Probate,
mentions wife Margery; sons Joseph, John, Frederick, Benja¬
min and Sylvester; daughters Eunice and Lois.

It appears in this number that Peter Brown of Windsor, Conn.,
was indicated as a Mayflower Ancestor. This was presented from
the records then available, and from the ruling of the May¬
flower Society.

Since then, the late Mr. Bowman of the Society of Mayflower
Descendants has declared that Peter Brown of Windsor was not
the Peter Brown of Plymouth, and therefore not a Mayflower
Ancestor.

MATTHEW GRISWOLD BRANCH

Matthew Griswold has come to be considered as a brother of
Edward, largely from his coming to New England with Edward
and the Rev. Huit company, but without definite proof. We
have also come to consider him as a tall, heavy man, full of
strength and vigor; forceful and above the average in intelligence,
and having the full confidence of the community; fully capable
of pursuing his efforts for the best interests of the community.

Like all forceful men he was involved in some controversies
with his neighbors, but in those matters brought to the attention
of the Court, he was usually held in the right (Vol. I, Colonial
records) .

He, with Ensign Waller and Thomas Minor, was evidently
employed to lay out the bounds of New London, the town being
ordered to pay them for this service.

He was ordered to assess the true valuation of all rateable
estates in Lyme, and was directed to sign for all amounts due to
their plantation.

He also subscribed for Lyme to the settlement of a land con¬
troversy between New London and Lyme. By this agreement
of 1668, a portion of meadow at Black Point was reserved by
Lyme for the use of the ministry in that town. A similar reserva¬
tion had been made by New London at the same place and for a
like purpose. It was upon this tract of “ministry land” that the
affray between the two towns took place in 1671. About 30
New London men (with whom were Major Palmer and Ensign
Clement Minor), going to Black Point meadow to mow grass
for their minister, wrere met and resisted by a party who had
come from Lyme on a similar errand. A good many hard words
were indulged in, and some blows were exchanged between the
parties. The Lyme constable, provided with a warrant from
Mr. Matthew Griswold, carried Ensign Minor away prisoner,
and in return, Major Palmer gave to the constable of New
London a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Griswold. After a con¬
ference, howrever, it wTas agreed that they would let the law de¬
cide the controversy. “Soe drinking a dram together, with som
seeming friendship,” every man departed to his home (Vol. II,
Colonial records).

He was granted 100 acres in 1681.

In 1670 he evidently had been given the right to perform
marriage ceremonies, for he is said to have performed the cere¬
mony at the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to John Rogers.

He was a member of the important committee appointed by
the Court to compose differences between the Pequots and Uncas
in love and peace (Caulkins’ History of New London).

In 1679 he was appointed commissioner with power to grant
warrants and perform marriages in Lyme. The right of the
state to solemnize this rite was thus recognized at a very early
date, and for a time this led to many controversies between the
ministry and state officials.

Matthew continued to be a first citizen until his death, and he
laid the foundation for a strong and valued posterity.

The Griswold Family

brother Matthew, of Peoria, Ill.; sisters Ann M. and Mary G.

Merchants of New York (Scoville); New York V.R.

Note: The firm of N. L. & G. Griswold was celebrated and
most remarkable. They were tall and imposing men of worth,
doing an immense business for many years. Owned the ship
Panama, and carried on a thriving business in the China trade,
making a fortune there. Nathaniel prepared a dredging machine
and is supposed to have cleared one hundred thousand cellars
on a contract to clean out the Albany basin.

The brothers differed largely in disposition and business
methods. Nathaniel was very quiet and retiring, caring nothing
about being connected with other business enterprises or banks,
or having anything to do with any one’s business but his own.

George was directly opposite, serving as director in almost
every society or monopoly of any importance, a man to be trusted,
and who loved incessant ^activity. Operated heavily in land
speculation. It is also said that he was at times harsh and selfish,
bold and reckless. Mr. Scoville in his work, “Merchants of
New York,” gives a very comprehensive account of them and
their business enterprises.

all questionable pleasures, finally becoming totally irresponsible

He was largely instrumental in organizing the Westminster
Presbyterian Church. A man of culture, character and stead¬
fastness. Of him it was beautifully said by his pastor, the Rev.
J. H. Morrow:

“Of the life of John L. Griswold, it was well rounded and full
and a great success. Its years were many, running on and on
into wisdom and poise, the serenity and beauty of old age, but
stopping short of its infirmity and decay, its weariness and sad¬
ness. As a structure it was builded and finished like some solid
symmetrical edifice upon which the capstone has been set, and
that has received its final stroke and polishing and garnishing.

“Inherited capability and culture, character and competence,
not neglected or squandered but improved and increased; busi¬
ness sagacity and enterprise and thrift; loyalty and patriotism to
the nation in its peril; attachment to and pride in the city where
he dwelt; social attraction and accomplishment; fondness for
home; devotion to kindred and friends; tenderness and sympathy,
and generosity toward the needing and suffering; liberality to
the church and every deserving charity, reverence and love for

172

The Griswold Family

God and a desire to glorify Him in all things; firm faith in Christ,
and humbly following in His footsteps — these in brief were the
equipment and traits and aims of him who the other morning
went from us to the unfading dawn.

“His home was to him an all-satisfying realm, and the wife
who shared it with him, a more than Queen. Of his love for her —
as romantic and gallant, as admiring and enthusiastic, as tender
and full at the end of these forty-two years as in the first flush
and thrill of youth, ever-growing and eternal — we may not
speak.”

let, Vt., d. of John and Mary (Fuller) Cobb, who died Sept. 27,
1849, se. 46. It was beautifully said of her:

“Died in North Lyme, Ct., Sept. 27, Mrs. Maria Cobb, wife of
Rev. Samuel Griswold, aged 46. Mrs. G. became a decided
Christian and united with a Congregational Church, in Burling¬
ton, Vt., in early life. She was remarkably strict in her observ¬
ance of the Sabbath ; in her attention to personal piety and to all
relative duties, and in her readiness to perform cheerfully what¬
ever she regarded as God’s requirement. She was active in pro¬
moting Female Prayer meetings, Maternal Associations, Moral
Reform, and all the other great benevolent enterprises. In Sab¬
bath schools and revivals, she labored with great delight and
success; and was instrumental in the hopeful conversion of a con¬
siderable number of souls. Clothed with meekness, full of faith
and love, and possessed of highly social powers, she readily
formed acquaintance with strangers, and engaged in efforts for
their spiritual good. With experienced and faithful Christians,
she had delightful companionship; and naturally cheerful she
had high social and Christian enjoyments. In view of her own
sinfulness she was deeply humbled and penitent, and applied
often to Jesus as her only hope and her life.

“She had been married nearly fifteen years, and in that rela¬
tion, while able to be active, ever made home cheerful and in¬
viting. During the last ten or twelve years of her life, she suffered
much from excruciating pain; and for the last four years was
mostly helpless in consequence of paralysis, gradually induced, it
is believed, by repelled irruptive disease, and by being twice
salivated writh calomel. Under almost constant and severe suffer¬
ing, during this latter period, she manifested much patience and
fortitude, and the most unwavering faith in God in regard both
to her temporal and spiritual wants. She received many kind
attentions from the people in North Lyme, for which she felt
exceedingly thankful. For three years she had no fear of death
but waited with deep interest for the coming of her Lord.

“She had many sinking turns when she viewed her departure
as near, with no emotions but those of peace and joy. During
one of these, the following farewell was written (poem not copied),
and she revived and continued several months, it was repeatedly

read to her, and received with much satisfaction. For several
days previous to her death, she felt that her end was near. She
had peace and joy. And when her Savior came, she had unshaken
faith, and on his bosom, fell sweetly asleep.''

APPENDIX MATTHEW BRANCH

JOHN ROGERS (No. 5, Vol. II) was the direct founder of the
sect called ltogerenes. In 1677 he withdrew from the Sabbatar¬
ians, and promulgated notions of his own, assuming ministerial
functions. Thus the Rogerenes came into being because they
were followers of John Rogers. They had no regard for any civil
or religious rite in marriage, among other peculiar views. They
were always in conflict with authority and law, fined and im¬
prisoned; one imprisonment was meted out to John for three
years and eight months. It is said that he made himself so ob¬
noxious that he spent about one- third of his life in prison.

There can be no doubt that unreasonable severity was shown
to him and his followers. The difficulty was that the Rogerene
Quakers refused to render obedience to the laws (Hist, of the
First Church of Christ, New London, Blake). However, there
is a very interesting account of John’s second marriage.

After the divorce of Elizabeth he lived alone for about 25 years,
then took Mary Ransford as wife without marriage ceremony,
to the great scandal of the community.

A magistrate, meeting the couple on the street, accosted them
thus: “John Rogers, do you persist in calling this woman, a serv¬
ant, so much younger than yourself, your wife?” “Yes, I do,”
retorted John. “And do you, Mary,” continued the magistrate
gruffly, “wish such an old man as this to be your husband?” “In¬
deed I do,” she replied firmly. “Then by the laws of God and
this Commonwealth,” was the disconcerting reply, “I, as magis¬
trate, pronounce you man and wife,”

And thus John Rogers and Mary Ransford became husband
and wife by due ceremony of law in spite of his antipathy to
marriage ceremonies.

The inscription appearing on the tomb of Governor Roger
Griswold (Vol. II, No. Ill, page 156):

“This monument is erected to the memory of his Excellency
Roger Griswold, LL.D., late Governor of this state. He was born
at Lyme, May 25, 1762, and died in Norwich, Oct. 25, 1812.

“He was the son of his Excellency, Matthew Griswold who had
been Justice of the Supreme Court. His mother was the daughter
of Roger Wolcott, Esq., of Windsor, who was for many years
Governor of the State.

“Governor Griswold graduated at Yale College in 1780, and in
1785 entered upon the profession of law. At the age of thirty four
he was elected into Congress of the United States. In 1807 he
was appointed Judge of the Superior Court. In 1809 Lieutenant
Governor, and in 1811 was elected Governor. Upon all the em¬
inent stations he conferred dignity and honor.

“Not less conspicuously by honorable and elevated rank in
society than by personal merit, talents and virtue.

“He was respected at the University as an elegant and classical
scholar, quick discernment, sound reasoning, legal science and
manly eloquence, raised him to the first eminence at the bar.

“Distinguished ir^the National Councils among the illustrious
statesmen of the age. Revered for his inflexible integrity and pre¬
eminent talents, his political course was highly honorable.

“His friends viewed him with virtuous pride. His native state
with honest triumph. His fame and honors were the just rewards
of noble actions and devotion to his country.

“He was endeared to his family by fidelity and affection, to his
neighbors by frankness and benevolence. His memory is em¬
balmed in the hearts of surviving relatives and of a grateful
people.

“When this monument shall have decayed, his name shall be
enrolled with honor among the great, the wise and the good.”

The Griswold Family

The terrible consequences of the witchcraft delusion, and the
opportunity of the ignorant and unscrupulous to harass people
of wealth and character cannot be better illustrated than by the
following account:

In 1667 John Tillerson charged the wife of Matthew Griswold
of Lyme of being a witch and induced others to suspect her of
witchcraft; for which Matthew caused him to be arrested and
arraigned before the court. This John stated the cause of his
suspicions and jealousies. The court decided that she was not a
witch and that he had no cause to be jealous of her; that he had
greatly sinned in harboring such jealousy against so good a neigh¬
bor who had done him many favors. But as he was poor, the
Court to recompense Mrs. Griswold for the wrong, and to clear
her of all suspicions of the offense, ordered that the opinion of the
court should be published by the constables of Saybrook and
Lyme, at some public meeting, and ordered Tillerson to pay 7
shillings for the express warrant, and 5 shillings for the constable.

How truly some of this could apply to the recipients of charity
in our present day.

MICHAEL GRISWOLD BRANCH

Michael was one of the earliest settlers of Wethersfield, or
. Watertown, as originally called; it was under the jurisdiction of
Massachusetts, and the towns from which they sprang. The
name was changed to Wethersfield about 1636. It was also under
the jurisdiction of the church in Watertown, Mass., until such
time as the settlers organized their own church in Wethersfield.

One session at least of the General Court was held in Water-
town, on the Connecticut River, and it is interesting to note that
at this session administration was granted on the estate of the
murdered Oldham who led the first group of settlers to Wethers¬
field.

The exact time of Michael Griswold’s arrival there is not
known, but from subsequent data we believe he probably ar¬
rived with Emanuel Buck and John Riley. The records show a
close intimacy between these men, and Michael is called a kins¬
man of Emanuel Buck. It is also shown that they were owners
of land in common and associated in business together.

The will of John Riley 1674 mentions his brother Emanuel
Buck; his brother John Belding; and his cousin Michael Griswold.

Michael owned considerable land, and his home lot which he
gave to his wife Ann, then to his son Michael. There must have
been a dwelling house with it, probably the original structure of
the present Michael Griswold house, facing on Garden street and
later remodeled by his son Michael. This homelot was originally
considered to have been on New street just southwest of the
present house, but later abandoned, and this bears out the con¬
tention that the present house and property was Michael’s
homelot.

Michael evidently held the respect of his neighbors. He was
one of a committee to obtain a minister for their church 1665.
Also served as constable, a post considered of great importance
in those days. Also held the offices of assessor and appraiser of
lands.

It is not known who wTas the wife of Michael, but as there was
such close association of Michael wdth Emanuel Buck, it would
not be surprising if we found that she was the sister of Emanuel,
had we the records from England showing this Buck family.

land, selling farms and timber; a man of strong character. He
died there Jan. 31, 1835.

While it is only conjecture that they were buried in Rockwood
cemetery , circumstances lead us to believe that they occupy two
adult graves without memorial stones next to John Albert Gris¬
wold and Orlando Rhodes, their great grand children. Search
has been made in every cemetery within several miles, and Rock¬
wood seems to be the most logical place.

opinion of the town three taverns are abundantly sufficient to
entertain all travailers passing throo or commg mto Town on
business, and whereas the unnecessary increas of taverns have
a tendency to promote Tavern haunting, occasion mispence o
time and Corrupt the Morels of the people— voted as the opinion
of this town that licensing of Mrs. Elizabeth Spellman to keep
tavern in Durham, the year ensuing will be unnecessary to ac¬
comodate Travailers and detrimental to the good order and

morals of the inhabitants.” ,

he bought the Wilder Rice farm 1807. Later sold this farm to his
son Wickham.

Ann died and he m. (2) Mary, whose parentage could'not be

they were buried. Cemeteries at Berne do not disclose burials
there. It is thought they were buried in the old Congregational

removed to the town cemetery, but none appear for Elijah or
his wives.

• They resided in East Haddam for a time, then removed to
Sunside, Green county, N. Y., where they purchased 200 acres

The compiler visited this old farm after traveling several miles
of almost unused roads, and also the burial plot, which is now in
a sad state of neglect. The farm has come into alien hands, and
the plot receives no attention. It is about an acre in extent, sur¬
rounded by a stone wall, all grown over with shrubbery, the tomb¬
stones fallen, and it was with extreme difficulty that any in-

he was whipped, the scars of which he carried to his dying day.
Finally was released in 1781. About 1830 they removed to Il¬
linois, and settled near Whitehall, Green county. He died in
Peoria, Sept. 1, 1841; burial in the North Family cemetery. At
one time there was considerable discussion as to classing him
with the Revolutionary Patriots on the ground that his services
were not sufficient. However, his record won without further
trouble. It is said his old home became the public library of
the town.

Plumb. The Plumb family name is of great antiquity. The name
appears in 1180 on the Great Roll of Normandy, and one of the
first to be used in England. Ezra was one of the first settlers in
Litchfield. Deborah’s inscription: “Deborah Plumb, d. of Elijah
Griswold, the first infant baptized in the Episcopal Church of

Litchfield, died July 2, 1836, se. 90.”

473 DANIEL, b. in Litchfield, Conn., Aug. 1, 1744 (Elijah*,
Jacob3, Jacob2, Michael1). This Daniel was a Loyalist, a soldier
and officer in the British service. He returned to his native town
bearing a captain’s commission, and at once commenced his work
of attempting to enlist soldiers in the King’s service. It is said
that there was an alarm in regard to him about this time, and he
concealed himself until the excitement had subsided, when he,
with others he had enlisted, attempted to join the British army.
They were pursued and captured, and taken to Derby, Conn.,
and there tried by Court Martial. Daniel was sentenced to be
hanged, which penalty was carried out in New Haven. The
others were released. Of Griswold, Kilboume, in his history, says.

Michael Griswold

225

“he was reputed to be a man of good character and energy and
wasmot unpopular with a large class of Whigs.” Perhaps by the
bloody code of war, he ought to have suffered death for his
offense as a traitor, though it is a fact beyond dispute, that there
were among the King’s troops in that contest, whole regiments
of ‘Loyal Americans’ as they were styled. Many of the leading
Whigs were open in their condemnation of the action of the Court
Martial, in this instance, and the event probably did not ad¬
vance the Republican cause in that town.

Daniel left a widow whose name has not been disclosed and
three sons. The records are largely silent as to this family. James,
brother of Daniel, left a portion of his estate to these three sons,

and Desire, wife of James, mentioned them as sharing her estate
in 1840.

Ephriam Bates.

He is said to have agreed to join the British forces and was
taken prisoner with Daniel Griswold (No. 473).

He was offered the opportunity of joining the American'forces
and thereafter served faithfully in the 4th Co., 1st Regt, Capt.
Welch of Litchfield; also served in the 5th Troop of Sheldon's
Dragoons, as private. May 1777.

There were children whose names have not been found. Dis¬
tribution of the estate of James and Desire Griswold, 1832, shows
there were heirs of Sarah (No. 477).

The Griswold Family

probate, Apr. 29, 1828, shows distribution to Deborah Plumb,
wife of Ebenezer; to heirs of Jacob, to heirs of Daniel; to Seth;
to Sarah Bates. Her estate, Mar. 23, 1840, shows distribution to
Abigail Osborne, widow of Jesse; representatives of Jacob Gris-
wold, deceased; to heirs of Sarah Bates; to heirs of Daniel Gris¬
wold; to Frederick W. Plumb, representative of Deborah; to
representatives of Seth Griswold.

478 SETH, b. in New Milford, Conn., May 8, 1757 ( Elijah 4,
Jacob*, Jacob2, Michael1); unmarried. Seth was a Loyalist and
remained of that opinion during his entire life. In 1783 removed
to New Brunswick with the large number who had served the
Loyalist cause. A copy of his original application for a land grant
in New Brunswick, with his own signature, was obtained by the
compiler, which shows that he served seven years in the British
Loyal American regiment, and also the Queen’s Rangers, upon
which he received 200 acres of land. He had also acquired con¬
siderable holdings of land previously. His will, on file at the Pro¬
bate office, in Frederickton, New Brunswick, shows a disposal of
these holdings, bonds, mortgages and cash, in the Parish of
Queensbury, York county, New Brunswick. The will reads to
Seth and John Griswold, sons of his nephew John Griswold*
provided they be found within five years, and provided also that
they become British subjects and reside in New Brunswick. Fail¬
ing in this the property was to revert to Truman Griswold, son
of his brother Daniel (No. 473). It appears from the records that
Seth and John Griswold were not found, and that Truman Gris¬
wold had died, and the property was then deeded by court decree
to Truman Borden Griswold, resident of Victoria county, Canada
West, Oct. 9, 1846. Seth died Dec. 7, 1838.

479 JACOB, b. in New Milford, Conn., Feb. 1, 1759 {Elijah*,
Jacob*, Jacob2, Michael1). Very little information could be ob¬
tained in reference to him. It is knowm he had two sons, perhaps
more children, of which we have no record.

and attainments. The world of fiction offers no more thrilling
episodes than the activities of Captain Samuel and Agnes Dick¬
inson Lee during the Revolution. Intensely patriotic they were .
the objects of intense Tory hatred and attack. Both were cour¬
ageous beyond the line of duty; constantly performing small
services, the little things that are not thought of particularly,
but were of untold benefit to the Patriot cause. The dangerous
storing of powder and ammunition in their home, making it an
object of attack, and the making of bullets. Agnes Dickinson
Lee Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, in Guilford,
Conn., was named for her.

Samuel was constantly active in suppressing Tory activities,
and other home defense. It was Agnes who fired the signal gun
at her home in the absence of the men, when the British landed
at Leete’s Island. Both were of the highest character needing
no other incentive to become true patriots.

Joel died July 19, 1835. After his death Lucy made her home
with her daughter Clarissa Scranton. Her will, Nov. 21, 1846,

Clarissa Scranton.

APPENDIX

MICHAEL BRANCH

88, Vol. II, pg. 181.

JOHN, b. in Guilford, Conn., June 23, 1721 ( Samuel 3, Thomas 2,
Michael1)] his wife was Lydia, name and parentage unknown.
By will of his father, 1732, he was granted part of the Black Rock
District farm, in Killingworth, west of the Hammonasset river.

He purchased land of John Spelman, of Granville, Mass., Apr.
10, 1757. Hampshire county, Mass., Deeds, 8-693. About 1757-
58 removed to Granville. They were members of the Congrega¬
tional Church there. Later settled on a farm two miles south of

Norwich, Mass., Hill, about 1771.

Became a prominent citizen, there. Assisted in organizing a
church ; served as constable, tax collector and fence view er. His
will, Northampton, Mass., probate records, Jan. 23, 1807, men¬
tions the children following. John died Aug. 11, 1813, se. 93.
Nonsuch, Mass., cemetery inscriptions. Date of Lydia’s death

unknown.

ELIZABETH, b. in Killingworth, Conn., Jan. 10, 1725 (Micl i-

ton Davis, s. of Solomon and Sarah (Hayton) Davis, b Feb
20, 1725, in Killingworth.

Long Island was the home of a large family of Davises who
were evidently descendants of John, who came from Boston 1655.
A number of these settled in southern Connecticut, Guilford and
Killingworth, and there is a strong probability that the Davis
family of Middlesex county are from one of these. Solomon was
the first of the name in Killingworth, who it is supposed came
from Guilford and settled on Pea Ridge, eastward from Guilford,

about 1709. His wife was Sarah Hayton. Elizabeth died June
1790.

Hayton received a deed of land from his father Mar. 12, 1762.
Hayton deeded land to his son Ebenezer Mar. 25, 1783. Deeded
the remainder of his lands to his wife Elizabeth, Mar. 10, 1779.
We do not know the birth date of Ebenezer.

ruff of Farmington.

140, Yol. II, pg. 233.

Rebeccca Griswold, wife of Noahdiah Hooker, is worthy of
special mention as the descendant of a brave officer of the French
Wars, and a fitting consort of a worthy husband, showing that a
woman may take an important part in war. Rebecca exhibited
the true Griswold spirit during the Revolution by taking charge
of a gang of British prisoners at Farmington, and with them
working her husband’s farm, raising produce for use of the family

and the army.

and became the owner of considerable property. Mentioned in
Great Barrington, Mass., land records, 1763, 1764.

tioned there 1766. He is probably the Grisel, Elijah II, pvt.
Capt. John Hogeboom’s Co., Claverack, N. Y., May 13, 1767.

NEW GRISWOLD LINES

m

The following names appear to be the founders of separate
Griswold family lines in America. We have, as yet, only meagre
information, and the mention here is for the purpose of laying
a foundation for future study.

EDWARD GRISWOLD of Edgmont, Pennsylvania. He is
shown as a resident of Edgmont in May 1739. Probate records
of West Chester, Pa., show appraisement of his estate Sept. 28,
1752. His wife Mary and Thomas Griswold as administrators.

WILLIAM GRISWOLD, b. in Stroud, England, 1726. May
17, 1758, return of a company enlisted for a campaign in the
“lower counties” under Capt. McClughan. His age given as 32.

JOHN GRISWOLD, b. in England 1818. His wife was Sarah

A., whose parentage is unknown.

Came to America and settled in Franklin township, Delaware
county, N. Y. Census there 1850 shows him aged 32; Sarah A.,
aged 31, both bom in England. Their children: John B., b.
1847; Charles H., b. 1849.

ROBERT GRISWOLD, b. in England, 1811. Came to America
and settled in Perry, Wyoming county, N. Y., and engaged in
the milling business. Married there, his wife being Mary, parent¬
age not stated. Census there 1850 shows him aged 39, b. in
England; Mary, aged 38, b. in New York State.

CHANGE FOR VOL* II

In Volume II, on page 83, will be found the record of Ezekiel
Ashley and his wife Hannah Griswold, b. in Norwich, Conn.,
1699.

This record is erroneous. The wife of Ezekiel was Hannah,
daughter of Benjamin, b. March 16, 1698/9, No. 132, page 38,
Vol. II, and her proper record is as follow's:

Hannah, b. in Windsor, Conn., Mar. 16, 1798/9 (Benjamin* ,
Benjamin 3, George 2, Edward1); m. Nov. 5, 1724, Ezekiel Ashley,
b. Apr. 27, 1701, s. of Samuel and Sarah (Kellogg) Ashley, of
Westfield, Mass. (pg. 83, 84, Vol. II). Ezekiel Ashley died 1745.

Hannah m. (2) in Woodstock, Conn. (Int. recorded there Oct.
10, 1747, Capt. Joseph Wright, as fourth wife).
