Notes:

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 Hit, who came, also in 1639, was from the same parish, as, also, the Wyllys family, who settled at Hartford.

His first location in Windsor is not known; but he had a grant of land in Poquonock, to which re removed, in 1649, accompanied by a few families, who there found an "outpost" settlement. His residence at Poquonock was on the site of the present dwelling of the heirs of the late Eliphalet S. Ladd, and who, on the female side, are Griswold descendants. The spot is a beautiful knoll which overlooks the brook on the west, and the Tunxis River on the south and east. As soon as he had fairly established his home, he began to take that active part i 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 Windsor 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 Hommonoscett, which lay immediately west of Saybrook, and to which, about 1663, he removed with his younger children, deeding to his sons, George and Joseph, who remained behind, his Windsor lands, reserving a small life annuity therefrom. The settlement 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 Kenilworth and continued to be its magistrate and representative for more than 20 years, 1662 to 1678-89, and 2was succeeded by his son John.

The Colonial Records 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 Conn., in which some of their lineal descendants have not been members. He was frequently a commissioner; and in 1678, was on a committee for establishing a Latin school in New London, and was first deacon of the Kenilworth church.

Edward married Margaret Hicks in 1628 in England. Margaret (daughter of Robert Hicks and Margaret Winslow) was born in 1609 in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England; died on 23 Aug 1670 in Killingworth, Middlesex County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Revs. Wareham and Meverick and their group stayed in Dorchester less´uª0 ´uª0 than five´uª0 ´uª0 years, as a number of their menfolk had discovered more fertile land below´uª0 ´uª0 the first´uª0 ´uª0 falls of the Connecticut River, at the junction of the Farmington River just´uª0 ´uª0 above´uª0 ´uª0 Hartford. Part of the colony went by boat and the remainder travelled across the´uª0 ´uª0 one´uª0 ´uª0 hundred miles of virgin forest, to establish the town of Windsor. Windsor was´uª0 ´uª0 unofficially known as Thrallville in the early years.

´uª0 William Thrall is mentioned many times in the early records. His lot shows´uª0 ´uª0 up in the´uª0 ´uª0 first plot of Windsor, between the lots of Nicholas Palmer and´uª0 ´uª0 Thomas Bascomb, and ran´uª0 ´uª0 from the road to the Farmington River. In 1646,´uª0 ´uª0 William sold this lot to Nicholas Palmer´uª0 ´uª0 and moved to Simon Hoyte's´uª0 ´uª0 place, north of the village. Robert Wilson bought a half´uª0 ´uª0 interest with´uª0 ´uª0 William in the Hoyte's 80 acres, but sold his half to Thrall in 1654. This 80´uª0 ´uª0 acres has been part of the holdings of the Thrall family ever since.
´uª0 William Thrall was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England, and´uª0 ´uª0 died on 3´uª0 ´uª0 August 1679 in Windsor, Connecticut, America. William Thrall´uª0 ´uª0 made his will in ´uª0 1678.
´uª0 Goode Thrall
´uª0 We know very little about the wife of William Thrall. She is referred to in´uª0 ´uª0 the old´uª0 ´uª0 Windsor records as Goode Thrall, but 'Goode' was an expression´uª0 ´uª0 applied to women with´uª0 ´uª0 families and it is simply an abbreviation of´uª0 ´uª0 'Goodwife'. Whether she came over to New´uª0 ´uª0 England on the "Mary and´uª0 ´uª0 John" with her husband or they met in Dorchester, has´uª0 ´uª0 never been´uª0 ´uª0 established The record of her death simply statesÖ

The first we know of William Thrall is that he is listed with the following´uª0 ´uª0 men who were among the thirty men who went from Windsor to join in the´uª0 ´uª0 fight´uª0 ´uª0 against the Pequod Indians in May 1637. Capt. John Mason, Sgt.´uª0 ´uª0 Benedict Alvord,´uª0 ´uª0 Thomas Barber, Thomas Buckland, George Chappel,´uª0 ´uª0 John Dyer, James Eggleston,´uª0 ´uª0 Nathaniel Gillet, Thomas Gridley, Thomas´uª0 ´uª0 Styles, Sgt. Thomas Stares, Richard Osborn,´uª0 ´uª0 Thomas Parsons, William´uª0 ´uª0 Thrall. The Indian village in this case was so completely´uª0 ´uª0 destroyed that for´uª0 ´uª0 many years, the settlers had no further trouble with the Indians.´uª0 ´uª0 Some years´uª0 ´uª0 later, the participants were given land grants. To quote from Dr. Styles´uª0 ´uª0 records with regard to the first Indian war in New England,
´uª0 The danger was imminent, and so complete the victory that it caused´uª0 ´uª0 universal´uª0 ´uª0 rejoicing throughout New England, and a grant of land was given´uª0 ´uª0 each soldier and´uª0 ´uª0 officer, and to this day the memory of an ancestor who´uª0 ´uª0 was in the Pequod fight, is an´uª0 ´uª0 honorable heirloom in every Connecticut´uª0 ´uª0 family´/uª
