THE GRISWOLD FAMILY.

They had lived at Kenilworth * and owned property there; but we know not whether it was their birthplace, They had a brother Thomas, * who continued to reside there, and the record of his marriage, in 1634, is still to be found in the old Kenilworth Church records, also the baptisms of several of the children of Edward. and the burial of a daughter, but the old church records of K. suffered so greatly from the ravages of the War of the Great Rebellion, it has been found impossible to find any other connecting links between that parish and the two emigrant brothers. t

It has been claimed that they belonged to the ancient county family of Solihull. near Kenilworth, and, as such, entitled to the use of the family arms, but there exists no evidence to prove the claim. Indeed. all that has been said in regard to thvir re- lationship to Humphrey Greswold, lord of the manor of Greet in Yardley, and also rector of Yardley parish; or of their connection with the Greswolds who held Malvern Hall in Solihull, bas no foundation in fact, and can be proved untrue. There is a tradition that the name of their father was George, concerning which see Prof. Salis- bury's genealogical article referred to, on page 350.

Whatever their local antecedents and connections in England, it is certain that the emigrant brothers Griswold were men of education and property ; and, after their arrival in the new colony, were always styled " Mr., " which was then equivt alent to " gentleman " as distinguished from yeomen or tradesmen. Both brothers. though young men when they came to this country (Edward being then 32 and Matthew 19 years old), speedily allied themselves with the best social element of Windsor, took positions of commanding influence, and quickly became prominent in colonial affairs. " Besides, if it be a principle of heredity that the characteristics, physical, intellectual, moral, and social, of a strongly marked ancestor are repeated in his descendants, so that from the offspring may be inferred what was the pro- genitor, then, apart from all we know of the . first generation of the Griswohls of New England, the qualities developed by succeeding generations of the family have been an accumulating proof that its emigrant ancestors were high minded, intelligent, Christian . gentlemen."" #

MATTHEW GRISWOLD, the younger brother, did not long remain at Windsor. though (see page 75, Vol. I.) he came very near being a permanent resident here. and we will therefore discuss his history first. Coming to Windsor, 1639, being then 19 years old, he m. 16 Oct , 1616. Anna (daughter of Henry, Sr., and Elizabeth Sumders) Wolcott of W., and, between that date and 1619 50. removed to Saybrook as agent for Col. Fenwick. He speedily assumed a prominence at

Matthew (then aged 60) in his affidavit made in the same snit, says: "Further I testifies that. when I come over to New England about the year 1639." State Archives, Private Controversies, Vol. II. Doc. 203. 201.

* From Ner London Prob. Ber. " Georg Griswold, aped about of years, testifyeth as follows; that in his your hfull years he lived with his father in England. in a town called Keillin-worth , Kend worth was, in Queen E"zabeth's time, called Killingworth). in Warrackshire; he did several times since hear his father Edward ori-would say that the house they then lived in, and land- belonging there o, was hi- brother Mathew Griswold's; and have lately seen a letter under the hand of Thoma- Griswould of Kei lin-worth above, di- rented to bis brother Mathew Griswould aforesaid, wherein the said Thomas Griswould intimated that he did then live in the abovesaid house belonging to his said brother Mathew Griswould aforesaid.

" May 9.h. 1:00. George Griswould appeared before me in Hartford, and made oath to y above testi- mony.

+ The reference to one Francis Grised by Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull, mentioned in Calend. Vitte

iu spelling. There was no Francis or other Grissell among the Dorchester settlers, and he faet mentioned refer to a person of another name.

$ The large view- of Matthew, very much in advance of his time, are well illustrated by the following item from Whole of Town Records:

"April 239 1663. Hannah Griswold, wife of Matthew Griswold, has a portion of meadow Land in Windsor Great Meadow, twelve acres more or less . . . . this comes to her as part of her portion that fell to her by the Last will of her brother Christopher Wolcott Deed out of his Estate that was to be Devided ag ong his Relations: and this parcel of meadow is allented by her Husband Matthere Griswold to be Recorded mal made over to Hannah his a in, to remain to ber and her children, and their Dispose, forever."

that place; was Deputy to the General Court in 1654, and, in same year, was directed by the Court to go with Capt. Mason to Pequitt and join with Gov. Win- throp to draw the lines between that towne and Uneas, ete. He was largely instru- mental in the movements which led up to the settlement of Lymeg on the other side of the Great River, and became the leading and wealthiest man in that town, which was set off from Saybrook in 1665/6. He was frequently a Deputy and Commis- sioner, Justice of the Peace, Lieutenant of the Trainband, etc. His landed pos- sessions soon assumed baronial proportions, especially upon the shores of Long Island Sound, where, near the month of the Connecticut River, he established " Blackhall," since the family seat of the Griswolds of Lyme.

Ile died at Lyme, Conn., 27 Sept., 1698, and was buried at Saybrook. His wid. survived him, and was living in Sept., 1700, æ. about 80 yrs. Their children were (1) Elizabeth, b. about 1652; m. (1) 1670, John Rogers of N. London: m. (2) Peter Pratt; m. (3) Matthew Beckwith. (2) "Mr." Matthew. (3) John, d. young. (1) Sarah, b. abt. 1655; m. Thos. Colton. (5) Anna, b. about 1656; m. Lien. Abraham Bronson, and was the ancestress of Hon, Henry Matson Waite, until 1854 the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Connectient, and of the late U. S. Chief Justice Morrison Remick Waite.

Through their only surviving son, Mr. Matthew, b. 1653, who followed in the footsteps of his father in public life, and died full of honors in 115, they founded a family " that has been unusually free from the vicissitudes which are apt, in the course of many generations of a family, to occur to lower the social standing of some of its persons, or branches." Those who would study a singular and (in American family history) an almost unparalleled prominence in public affairs and in intellectual ability, are referred to the Appendix to the Wolcott Genealogy in this work, and to The Girisold Family of Connecticut (already referred to), by Prof. EDWARD E. SALISBURY of New Haven, Conn., an exceedingly interesting and gracefully penned contribution to Connecticut genealogy .*

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 Parli ;- ment, and they stayed at home to carry on their struggle with the King and Arch- bishop Land. Mr. Griswold undoubtedly came in the interest of some of these pat- enters. 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 sune parish, as, also, the Wyllys family, who settled at Hartford. .

His first location in W. is not known; but he had (see p. 157, Vol. Da grant of land in Pognonock, to which he removed, in 1619, accompanied by a few families, who there found an " outpost " settlement. His residence at P. was on the site of the present dwelling of the heirs of the late Eliphalet S. Ladd, and who, on the fe- male side, are Griswold descendants. The spot is a beautiful knoll which over- looks the brook on the west, and the Tunxis River on the south and cast. As soon

THE GRISWOLD FAMILY.

as he had fairly established his home, he began to take that active part in public matters which was natural to a man of his character. In 1650 he built the "Old Fort " at Springfield for Mr. Pyncheon; in 1656 he was a deputy from W. to the General Court, and continued, with the exception of one session, to represent the town until the reception of the charter from King Charles. At this time he was the principal promoter of a new settlement authorized by the court, called Home- noscett, which lay immediately west of Saybrook, and to which, about 1663, he re- moved with his younger children, derding to his sons, George and Joseph, who re- mained behind, his W. lands, reserving a small life annuity therefrom. The set- tlement was organized as a town in 1667 and received, probably from him, the name of his old English home Kenilworth, afterwards corrupted to Killingworth, and now known as Clinton. He was the first deputy from K., and continued to be its magistrate and representative for more than 20 years, 1662 to 1678-89, and was succeeded by his son John.

The Col. Rec, show him to have been a very active, influential member of the legislature - pre-eminently one of those men who, in the first half-century, did so much to make the small colony of Connecticut so important a factor in American affairs. As a member of Sessions, he had the pleasure of meeting with his brother Matthew and his own son Francis; and there has, since that time, rarely been an Assembly of Coun. in which some of their lineal descendants have not been mem- bers. Ile was frequently a commissioner; and, in 1678, was on a committee for es tablishing a Latin school in New London, and was first deacon of the K. church. He died at K., it is said, in 1691, in 84th year. Children (all by Ist wife ; * Kenilworth (Eng.) Rec.):
