Notes:
Edward and Matthew Griswold...came to New England in 1639, in a vessel sent out by Mr. William Whitney. Arrived in New England in 1639 and settled in Windsor. Then in 1664 to Killingworth, CT, first called Kenilworth, and now named Clinton. First delegate to the General Court. Justice of the peace in Windsor. First Deacon of the church.
"Mr. Edward Griswold came to America at the time of the second visit of Mr. George Fenwick, at which date, also, came a large number of new settlers to the Conn. settlement. It was at a time when many of the gentry of England and wealthy persons connected with the Warwick Patent were intending removal hither; but the breaking out of the Scotch Rebellion compelled King Charles to call a Parliament, and they stayed at home to carry on their struggle with the King and Archbishop Laud. Mr. Griswold undoubtedly came in the interest of some of these patentees. He was attorney for Mr. St. Nicholas of Warwickshire, who had a house built in Windsor, and also a tract of land 'impaled' (fenced), as had Sir Richard Saltonstall. The Rev. Ephraim Huit, who came also, in 1639, was from the same parish, as, also, the Wyllys family, who settled in Hartford."
In 1630 Edward first married Margaret Blencow in Kenilworth. Born in 1610 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, Eng. Margaret died on 23 Aug 1670 in Clinton, Middlesex, CT. Buried in Cong. graveyard, Clinton, CT.
