Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Buell, Josiah was born on 17 Mar 1680 in Killingworth,Middlesex,CT (son of Buell, Samuel and Griswold, Deborah); died before 8 Jun 1720.

    Notes:

    BIRTH: Killingworth Town Records, 1:68 (FHL #004621).
    DEATH: No death rec found. Joisah is not mentioned in the will of his father, 8 Jun 1720. He is not the Josiah Buell who married Martha Sessens on 20 Jun 1716 and died 11 Nov 1732, as indicated in George E. McCracken, "William Buell & Early Descendants," TAG, 54(1978):73 (FHL #973 D25aga). The Josiah who died on this date was listed as aged 42 on his gravestone inscription; hence, he is apparently the Josiah Buell, born on 7 Mar 1691, son of Samuel Buell, Jr, and wife Judith ("Headstone Inscriptions Town of Clinton," Charles R. Hale Collection [typescript, 1937; Conn. State Library, Hartford], Clinton Cemetery, #702-1, p. 12 [FHL #003327]).

    Notes:

    CHR: Wooten Wawen par reg (FHL #557151). Evidence that this chr belongs to the ancestor is found in several documents in New England. Edward stated that he was 77 years old in a deposition dated 15 May 1684 (Connecticut Archives, Private Controversies, 2:203, abstract published in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. [Hartford, 1904-1906], 1:60 [FHL #974.6 P2m]). This provides for a birth about the year 1607. On 9 May 1700 George Griswold, son of Edward, deposed that as a youth he lived with his father in Kenilworth, Warws and that the house belonged to his uncle Matthew Griswold (Estate file of Matthew Griswold of Lyme, Connecticut, New London Disrict Probate Files, #2333 [FHL #1025021]). Kenilworth is near the parish of Wooten Wawen. In another deposition, dated 19 Jan 1737/8, George Griswold and John Griswold, sons of George Griswold deceased, stated that they were grandsons of Edward Griswold of Kenilworth, Warws, and that it was accepted in the family that Edward was one of three brothers, sons of George Griswold (Edward E. Salisbury and Evelyn McCurdy Salisbury, FAMILY HISTORIES AND GENEALOGIES, 3 vols. [Privately printed, 1892], 2:5 [FHL #873825]).
    MAR #1: No mar rec found. Children of Edward Griswold and wife Margaret are recorded in Kenilworth par reg, 1631-37 (FHL #555347). Also, Margaret, wife of Edward Griswold, died at Killingworth, Conn. ("Killingworth Births, Marriages, Deaths, 1667-1850," Barbour Collection [typescript, 1924; Conn. State Library, Hartford], 41 [FHL #002972]).
    MAR #2: No mar rec found. Sarah, widow of Edward Griswold, is mentioned in agreement of the heirs of Edward Griswold of Kenilworth, 7 Jun 1694 (New London Deeds, 5:195 [FHL #005084]). The document shows that she is the mother of Rebecca Bemis who married Tobias Minter. The mar rec of Tobias Minter and Rebecca Bemis indicates she is the dau of James Bemis ("New London Births, Marriages, Deaths, 1646-1854," Barbour Collection [typescript, 1919; Conn. State Library, Hartford], 215 [FHL #005082]). Sarah was apparently the widow of James Bemis of New London who died in Jul 1665 (Elwood M. Avery, ed, "Marriage, Birth and Death Records from theTown Records of New London" [typescript, n.d.], 74 [FHL #974.65/N2 V2a]). Sarah's maiden surname is unknown. She is not the dau of John and Rebecca Dimond as alleged in Esther Griswold French and Robert Lewis French, THE GRISWOLD FAMILY (Wethersfield, CT, 1990), 13 (FHL #929.273 G889fe).
    DEATH: No death rec found. Edward's death in 1690 is mentioned in French, THE GRISWOLD FAMILY, 13. Although no proof has been found, this date is widely accepted. He was certainly dead before 7 Jun 1694 when his widow Sarah made agreement with Joseph Wickham, above. He was living on 15 May 1684 when he made the deposition, above.
    OCC: Deputy to CT General Court, builder of fort at Springfield, Justice of the Peace.

  1. 12.  Grissold, George was christened on 6 Nov 1574 in Wootton-Wawen,Warws,Eng (son of Grissold, Roger).

    Notes:

    CHR: Wooton-Wawen par reg (FHL #557151)
    MAR #1: No mar rec found. Dousabell, wife of George Gressol, was buried on 28 Aug 1615 (Wootton-Wawen par reg [FHL #557151]).
    MAR #2: No mar rec found, but existence of this wife is suggested by the depositions of John Griswold and George Griswold, sons of George, and grandsons of Edward Griswold the immigrant, 19 Jan 1737/8, in which it is stated that their grandfather Edward was the youngest of three brothers. The other brothers were Matthew and Thomas. Thomas was the youngest (Edward E. Salisbury and Evelyn McCurdy Salisbury, FAMILY HISTORIES AND GENEALOGIES, 3 vols. [Privately printed, 1892], 2:5 [FHL #873825]). Matthew testified in 1684 that he was about 64 years old (Connecticut Archives, "Private Controversies," 2:204, cited in Salisbury FAMILY HISTORIES, 2:3). Hence, Matthew was born after the death of the first wife, and Thomas was younger still. George's 2nd wife may be Sarah Cinderforde who married a George Grissold at Hampton-in-Arden, Warws, 30 Mar 1616 (E. B. Vallance, ed, "Warwickshire Parish Registers of Hampton-in-Arden" [typescript, 1942], 115 [#942.48/H1 V261]).
