Edward Griswold

Other Events:

• BAPM: 26 Jul 1607, Wooten Wawen, Warwickshire, England

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]

Deborah married S. Buell [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• BAPM: 19 May 1633, Kenilworth, England

Notes:

In 1649 George moved his home to Poquonic where he had purchased land from the Indians. Being six miles from Windsor, there was no protection from danger. From the records, we find this family was never molested. Probably because he dealt honestly and fairly with the Indians, they respected him.

George was made a freeman in 1669, was a large landowner and a man greatly respected. He was a sturdy active citizen but did not aspire to political office. Records show that in 1676 he contributed to the poor of other colonies; in 1679 he had a warehouse on the north side of the Rivulet near the ferry; and in 1685 he was mentioned in Windsor patent. He engaged in trade with England and the West Indies.

His estate is given in Hartford Probate VII:108; IX:10,11; Manwaring II:70. Inventory was taken October 2, 1704. An agreement made by the widow and children for the settlement of the estate is recorded. This agreement also mentions his granddaughter Abigail Griswold and daughters Mary Cooley and Deborah Moore.

Notes for ANDREW MOORE:
´uª0 Was made freeman of Simsbury February 7, 1703. Volume 4, page 162 Simsbury´uª0 ´uª0 Land Records, has the following entry: "23rd day of December, 1720, Whereas´uª0 ´uª0 Andrew´uª0 ´uª0 Moore of Simsbury,since September 10, 1717, hath entered and well´uª0 ´uª0 improved two´uª0 ´uª0 Entire parcels of Town Common in Simsbury on the east side of the´uª0 ´uª0 river by virtue of a´uª0 ´uª0 town Grant, therefore we, Lieut. John Pettybone, Joseph Case Sen´uª0 ´uª0 (senior) and Samuel´uª0 ´uª0 Humophries being comitte have for euer Quit claimed the title´uª0 ´uª0 the town had to these´uª0 ´uª0 lands to the said Andrew." Jan 17, 1720 he sold land to´uª0 ´uª0 Jonathan Moore. Andrew Moore´uª0 ´uª0 Made his will May 7, 1752, died May 18, 1752, in´uª0 ´uª0 Winton bury, at the home of his´uª0 ´uª0 daughter Lois, and the property was distributed´uª0 ´uª0 August 28, 1752. In his will he speaks´uª0 ´uª0 of himself as Simsbury, residing now in Winton´uª0 ´uª0 bury, and of "having arrived at a great´uª0 ´uª0 age" The appraisers say he has " In´uª0 ´uª0 proclamation money as followeth," oe 5, 16s. He´uª0 ´uª0 had a house and barn, orchard, one´uª0 ´uª0 piece of land in the Marsh of 20 acres and one on´uª0 ´uª0 the Hill of 5 acres besides´uª0 ´uª0 household goods, clothing, etc. The estate amounted to about´uª0 ´uª0 oe120, and was given´uª0 ´uª0 to his daughter Lois Hoskins, Daughter Sarah and the heirs of his´uª0 ´uª0 son Sanders of´uª0 ´uª0 whom he mentions Sanders and Andrew. He Had 6 children born in´uª0 ´uª0 Simsbury,´uª0 ´uª0 Connecticut.´uª0
´uª0 Notes for MARY SANDERS:
´uª0 It is probable that Mary was the daughter of the first wife. May 20, 1736, Andrew´uª0 ´uª0 and Mary sold to George Cradock of Boston, for oe 12, 10s., all their land at Copper´uª0 ´uª0 Hill,´uª0 ´uª0 " especially that right that descended from our father George Sanders, long´uª0 ´uª0 since´uª0 ´uª0 deceased."´uª0 ´/uª
