"EDWARD GRISWOLD, who was born 26 Jul 1607, lived for a time at least in Kenilworth, Warwick, England, from whence he emigrated in 1639, as is disclosed by various depositions. EDWARD brought with him his wife, several children, and his younger brother Matthew. EDWARD received his share of lands at Windsor, Connecticut, the first recorded division of which occurred in January, 1640-1. In March, 1663, the General Court appointed a committee to view Hamonoscett, later Killingsworth, and to decide if it be fit for a plantation...original planters, including EDWARD GRISWOLD, then called sixty-four years old.
EDWARD, with his wife and younger children, was among the first to remove to this new locality, undoubtedly in 1663. He deeded most of his property at Windsor to his oldest sons. In lieu of a will EDWARD GRISWOLD on Christmas Day, 1672, signed a conditional inheritance deed of all his property to his son John, who was to pay certain legacies; but EDWARD did not die until 1691, when he was in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and was buried at Killingsworth. He had married first, in England, MARGARET (----), [*She has been called MARGARET HICKS, but no authority is cited.] who died in Killingsworth August 23, 1670, where her gravestone may be seen, the oldest in the cemetery, marked "M.G. 1670." He married secondly, in 1672, Sarah (----) Bemis, widow of James of New London. His children were all by his first wife. Four are said to have been baptized and one may have died at Kenilworth, England, and that place was probably the birthplace of two others, while the remaining were born at Windsor, Connecticut."
