  1. 1.  Deacon Edward Griswold was born before 26 Jul 1607 in Wooten Wawen, Warwickshire, England; was christened on 26 Jul 1607 in Wooten Wawen, Warwickshire, England; died in 1691 in Killingworth, Middlesex, Connecticut.

    Notes:

    Emigrated to New England in about 1638 or 1639, as shown by various of his later depositions. He appears to have been associated with the Rev. Ephraim Huet, of Wroxhall, near Kenilworth in Warwickshire, who was persecuted for nonconformity in 1638 by Archbishop Laud and who was driven to emigrate in or about 1639, probably in company with Edward Griswold and quite possibly also in company with Joseph Loomis.

    "On August 17, 1639, the Reverend Huet, with a party that doubless included these two ancestors of ours, arrived at Windsor, Connecticut, where he became the first teacher in the church and colleague with its pastor." [Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines, citation details below.]

    "A founder of Windsor, Conn.; later settled at Killingsworth, Conn.; was deputy Gen. court, justice, deacon; built 'Old Fort' at Springfield,Mass." [Ancestors and Descendants of Andrew Lee and Clarinda Knapp Allen]

    "According to [Mormon Pioneer Genealogy Library] projections, the largest family in America today is the posterity of Robert White (b. ca. 1560) & Bridget Allgar, with a Mormon posterity of 430,000 and an American posterity of 29 million. The next five families are Edward Griswold and Margaret, Joseph Loomis and Mary White (daughter of Robert and Bridget above), Gerard Spencer and Alice Whitbread, Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde, and Thomas Bliss and Margaret Hulins, each with a Mormon posterity of 270,000 and an American posterity of 18 million."
