"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 alnd 'impaled' (fenced), as had Sir Richard Saltonstall. The Rev. Ephraim Huit, who came also, in 1639, was from the same parish, as, also, the Wyllys family, who settled in Hartford."5 Married 1630 (39 or 40 years married) to:  Margaret HicksBorn 1609 at England, died Aug 23, 1670 at Killingworth (now Clinton) Middlesex Co., Connecticut, 60 or 61 years, buried at Cong. graveyard, Clinton, Connecticut Children: 1.
