ELROY2 GREENE, son of Rufus] and Rhoda Melissa Evelyn (Miller) Greene, was b. in Walpole, Jan. 8, 1863, m., Nov. 3, 1891, Ada Amelia Fay Holt ; b. in Keene, Aug. 13, 1866 ; dau. of Jedidiah Russell and Caroline Saunders (Fay) Holt.

GRISWOLD.
1. STEPHEN1 GRISWOLD was probably the first settler of S. He lived at the site of the later house of the Lockes, at 102. He must have settled there as early as 1768, having been the drawee of the lot upon which he settled. Benjamin Olcott came the same year to what is now the town farm, and lived at the site of 68. They were the first two families in town, and evidence seems to make it probable that the Griswolds preceded the Olcotts. Mrs. Griswold's first name was Hannah. We know no more of her. He m. 2d, Sept. 22, 1778, in Chesterfield, by Rev. Abraham Wood, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, probably the widow of Capt. Isaac Davis of that town. Ac. to Hayward's Gilsum, he d. ab. 1806. We know no more of his personal history. We do not know the number of his ch., nor the order of their births. Among them were Stephen2, Jr., 2; Isaac2, 3; Jemima2, b. in Keene, July 1755; m. Timothy Dewey, Jr., q. v ; prob-

ably also Mary2 (or Molly), 4; and Clara2, 5. He lived in S., on the place named until 1776, when he sold it to Joseph Ellis, Sr. Flavia and Esther, daus. of Stephen Griswold, who were bap. in Keene, July 7, 1785, were most likely, also, daus. of the elder Stephen by his second wife. We do not know any more of them. Joseph Griswold of Surry, who was m. in that town, Apr. 8. 1801, by Rev. P. Howe, to Susannah Fowler of Surry, may possibly have been a son or grandson of Stephen Griswold, Sr. Asahel Griswold of Walpole, also, who m., Sept. 1796, Prudence Bliss of Gilsum, may have been another son of Stephen Griswold, Sr. No one of his ch. was b. in what is now Sullivan. We cannot discover the family record.
2. STEPHEN2 GRISWOLD, JR., son of Stephen1, 1, m., Sept. 2, 1790, in Keene, by Rev. A. Hall, to Cynthia Kingsbury, b. in Wrentham, Mass., June 27, 1769; dau. of Daniel and Nancy (Thurston) Kingsbury. They lived in Keene and Gilsum, and removed to Keene, N. Y. He owned for two years, 1805-07, the old farm in S., which was later the farm of Rev. C. Cummings, at 178. It is not probable that he lived upon it. He lived at Gilsum "Lower Village," and had a store. His father also lived there and operated a mill. We know of seven ch. : 1. A child 3, still-born, in Keene, Dec. 28, 1791. 2. Another ch.3, sex unknown, d. in Keene, Aug. 15, 1793; 3. Cynthia3, b. in Keene, Dec. 4, 1794; 4. George3, b. in Keene, Mar. 9, 1799; 5.

II, 1803, Orpah Bliss of Gilsum, b. there, ab. 1780, dau. of Jonathan and Sarah Bliss; this Isaac being the father of Alonzo4 Griswold, b. in Gilsum, Aug. 30, 1803; 3.

tannery of Mr. Symonds in 1872. The tannery building was burned in 1874. A new tannery was built by Mr. Grout at 12, on the opposite side of the river. On page 633, lines 5 and 6, there is a slight confusion in the statement. The tannery was built by Mr. Grout. Mr. Locke simply enlarged the plant. Mr. Grout moved into the Dea. Wilson house at 36, in 1872, and lived there about seven years. He m., Nov. 14, 1852, Eliza Marsh Bond, b. in Leicester, Mass., Nov. 11, 1823; still living at the address named, in feeble health (1910) ; dau. of Eber and Minerva (Stetson) Bond.

GROVER.
1. NATHANIEL2 GROVER, JR., son of Nathaniel1 of Fitzwilliam, was probably b. ab. 1779, for his name first appears on the Fitzwilliam tax list in 1800. He lived in S. about three years, 1805 to 1808-09, on the Winchester farm, at 193. He and his wife, Susannah, had three ch. that are known to us : I. Luke 3, b. in Fitzwilliam, Oct. 25, 1797; 2. Lucy3, b. there, July 9, 1799; 3. Laura 3, b. there, May 19, 1801 ; d. there, Sept. 28, 1805. There is no record in S. of any birth or death in this family while they lived in town.
