^tistooltr later than to the year 1639. But the" year of Huet's emigration, this very year 1639, being now fixed, independently, as the date of the emigration of Edward and Matthew Griswold, the tradition of their companionship with Huet gains in probability ; while Savage's objection is quite set aside by the fact that George Gnswold, having been sixty-seven years old in 1700 (as he himself affirmed), was born about 1633, not in 1638—as Savage says—and could, therefore, well speak, when advanced in life, of a time prior to 1639 as having been in the days of his youth. EDWARD (i) Griswold, the eldest of the two emigrant brothers, also lived the longest, dying in 1691, as is said,'' in his eighty-fourth year. A colonial record of 1649 shows him to have been, at that time, still residing in Windsor, where his sons Francis and George hkewise had their famihes." It is believed that he removed to Killingworth, now Clinton, Conn., in 1663, and gave to this New England town the name of his old home in Warwickshire. He was a Deputy to the General Court, before this, in 1662. Under the year 1667, as " Mr. Edw. Grissell," he is enrolled a Deputy ; and as "Mr. Edward Griswold," a Commissioner "for Kenil- worth."" In 1674 there was a grant made to him of two hundred acres of land, which were laid out, after long delay, in 1682, "at the north end of Lyme bounds."'' As "Mr. Edward Griswould " he was Deputy "fr.

Ctfistoolir Commissioner.^ In 1678 he was on a committee for establishing a Latin School in New London.'^' He was the first Deacon of the church of Killingworth. He was twice married : first, in England, to Margaret , who died August 23, 1670;^ and secondly, in 1672 or 1673, to the widow of James Bemis of New London. " Before coming to Windsor he had 5-8 Fi-ancis,^ George,'^ John ^ and Sarah,^ probably all born in England ; and he had at Windsor " three sons and three daughters—all, as appears by their days of birth or baptism recorded at Windsor, by his first marriage.^ His son Francis (5) is found to have been at Saybrook in 1655-56,^ but was one of the first proprietors of Norwich, settled in 1660, taking "an active part in the affairs of the plantation ;"^ and from 1661 inclusive to 1671 was a Deputy to the General Court.^ He died in 1671,^ leaving several children, of whom a daughter, Margaret'^ (b. 1668), married Thomas Buckingham, son of Rev. Thomas of Saybrook, in 1691.^ George (6), son of Edward, Griswold, was a freeman of Windsor in 1669,^ and seems to have lived there permanently.
