About George Griswold
"GEORGE 2 , b. England, 1633 (Edward 1 ); m. in Windsor, Conn.,
Oct. 3, 1655, Mary Holcombe, daughter of Thomas and Eliza¬
beth, who came from England to Dorchester, Mass., and removed
to Windsor 1635. Mary d. Apr. 4, 1708. George made his home
in Poquonoc 1649 where he purchased land from the Indians.
Poquonoc then was about six miles from Windsor and those
families venturing out to this settlement had no protection from
any danger that might come or from the Indians; however, from
the records, we find this family was never molested. Probably
from the fact that he dealt honestly with the Indians and treated
them fairly, they respected him; he was known to be of kindly
disposition. Made freeman 1669; was a large land owner and a
man of high respectability. A sturdy active citizen, but did not
aspire to political office. Died Sept. 3, 1704. His estate, Hartford
Probate, Vol. VII, 108; Vol. IX, 10, 11; Manwaring, II, 70.
Inventory Oct. 2, 1704. An agreement made by the widow and
children for the settlement of the estate is recorded. This agreement also mentions his grand-daughter Abigail Griswold and daughters Mary Cooley and Deborah Moore. 1685 he was mentioned in Windsor Patent. 1676 contributed to the poor of other colonies. 1679 had a warehouse on the north side of the Rivulet
near the ferry. Trade with England and West Indies."
