Mary Griswold, daughter of John and Mary (Bemas) Griswold, was born in 1 Feb. 1673 at Killingsworth Township, MIddlesex, Connecticut.[1][2]
She married James Avery, son of James Avery and Deborah (Stallyon) Avery, circa 1696.[2]
She died on 26 Nov. 1750 at Groton, New London Co., Connecticut, at age 77 and was buried at Avery-Morgan Burying Ground, Groton, New London Co., Connecticut.[2] Her memorial has a photo of her headstone and links to those of family members.[3]

1. The Avery source records Mary's parents as Mathew and Hannah (Woolcott) Griswold and includes "Her father was the founder of the Town of Lyme, and Governor of Connecticut in 1784-1786." Obviously an error exists in the source as Mary was born February 1672/1673 and her father could not have been the Governor between 1784-1786.
Governor Matthew Griswold was born March 25, 1714, the son of John and Hannah (Lee) Griswold and the grandson of Matthew and Phoebe (Hyde) Griswold and great-grandson of Matthew and Ann (Woolcott) Griswold the the first settlers of Lyme.
