1607 Birth 26 July 1607
England
The brothers Matthew and Edward Griswold were natives of Kenilworth, in Warwickshire, England. The latter, according to a deposition in the State Records at Hartford, was born in 1607. The date of their emigration to this country has not been ascertained. Edward is found at Windsor not long after 1640, and is supposed to have brought with him from England a wife, Margaret, and several children, others being added to the group in this country. In 1664 he removed to Killingworth, as one of the leaders in the settlement of that place, and was its first magistrate. It may be inferred also that he stood sponsor when the name was given, Killingworth, or Killinsworth, answering to the popular pronunciation of his native place in England.
