The Michael Griswold House
Photograph by Barbara Ryan, August 2003
The Griswold Family Association owns and
maintains an historic house in Wethersfield, Connecticut. The original
house was owned by Michael Griswold; most of the house as it exists today
was constructed in 1730 by his son, Michael. The half-brothers Edward and Matthew came to
North America in 1639, and settled in Windsor, Connecticut. Francis, who may
have been a cousin to Edward, was baptized 10th January, 1605/6 at
Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire. He came to North
America in 1636 and settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Michael appears to
be a fourth cousin once removed to Edward and half brothers Matthew and
Thomas. Their common ancestor would be John Greswold, Esq., born c.
1440. |
