Notes

Please use caution when merging. There are a number of Griswold families in New England, related, with similar family connections.

Matthew Griswold, this profile, is NOT married to Mary Porter; Mary Porter married Nathaniel Hosford (Citing Ye Hosford booke: Horsford-Hosford Families in the United States [1]. The families are apparently linked at FamilySearch and Geni, without sources, and can be assumed to be errors. Nathaniel Hosford is related to Sarah Hosford, wife of Joseph Phelps; they are the parents of Mary Phelps.

Mary Phelps' ancestry is well-documented: she was born 8 Jun 1869 to Joseph Phelps and Sarah Hosford (Connecticut Vital Records and Connecticut Births and Christenings). She is buried in Windsor, CT here: [2]
