Griswold Family : ウィキペディア英語版 | Griswold Family
The Griswold family is a notable extended American political family long prominent in Connecticut and New York. The family's fortune originates from the 19th Century industrial and merchant pursuits. The name descends from English immigrants, and can be traced back to John Griswold in England in the 13th century. ==Family origins==
The Griswold family descends from the English landed Griswold Family of Solihull and Kenilworth, England. The first members of the family to arrive in America were the brothers Edward and Matthew Griswold, landing initially at Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1639 and continuing on as part of the group of colonists settling Windsor, Connecticut. In 1646, Matthew married Anna Wolcott and moved to Old Saybrook, Connecticut and was later Deputy and Commissioner of Lyme, Connecticut, quickly amassing thousands of acres of land and become one of the richest men in the colony. Edward Griswold remained in Windsor and played pivotal roles in the early politics of the colony. Many of his descendants moved west to New York following the American Revolution and founded the New York branch of the family, of whom Congressman John Augustus Griswold is descended from.
