    Notes:

    "The Griswold Family" England-America" states that Francis' family connection is unknown, but it has been thought he had some connection with Edward, Matthew, or Michael, of Connecticut, but we have no proof of this.

    I am attaching Francis' to this family for the time being. Further research will be needed to show it otherwise.

    Name:
    Matthew Griswold was born in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, the home of his father, George Giswold, in 1620, and immigrated to America with his elder brother, Edward, in 1639. Both settled Windsor. Another brother, Thomas, remained in the old English homestead. Matthew was then only nineteen years of age. In 1646, October 16th, he married Anna, daughter of Henry Wolcott of Windsor, also born in 1620, and soon after removed to Saybrook as agent for Governor Fenwick. He took up the first lands in Lyme, among which was the large tract on Long Island Sound, east of the Connecticut River, know as "Black Hall." Later on he became one of the largest landholders and wealthiest men in that town. He was deputy to the General Court in 1654, and again in 1697-8. the Griswold family of Lyme is believed to be descended from the ancient heraldic family of Greswolds, in Warwickshire, and entitled to use the same arms. Matthew died in 1698 and was buried at Saybrook. His wife did about 1701.

    Matthew married Anna WOLCOTT on 16 Oct 1646. Anna (daughter of Henry WOLCOTT, Sr. and Elizabeth SAUNDERS) was born in 1620; died in Jan 1700. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
