Info from: The book titled, "Several ancestral lines of Moses Hyde and his wife Sara Dana,... married Conn., Jue 5, 1757: with a full genealogical history of their descendants...the nineteenth century, coverin three hundred years...", by Harriette Hyde, Wells, 1904.

On page10 this book states,

"18. SAMUEL, b. Sept., 1665, m. Susannah, dau. of the first Christopher Huntington, Dec. 10, 1685.

Miss Calkins says: 'Samuel Griswold became a married man at the age of twenty, following his sisters in the flowing stream of youthful connections. Young people in those days, scarcely waiting to reach maturity, chose their partners and marched on with rapid and joyous steps to the temple of Hymen.' The wedding of Samuel and Susannah took place on her 17th birthday. He d. Dec. 9, 1740."

I am assuming her birthdate as it states, "the wedding....took place on her 17th birthday."
