    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. FHL book 929.242 G868f "The Greswold Family, 12 Generations in England," researched and edited by Robert L. and Esther G. French, comp. by Coralee Griswold [Wethersfeld, CT; 1999]. The authors standardize spelling as Greswold for England and Griswold for America. As of 2012, it appears that this book is the most current evolution of the Griswold ancestry and includes all previous research up to 1999 when it was published. (It also supersedes the author's own work in 1990 for the later English generations). See notes in this database of the original Griswold for a more detailed explanation of the various sources and a bibliography of previously published books that the authors include in this genealogical compilation.
      "John10 Greswold (John9, John8, John7, 8.John6, 6.John5, 5.William4, 4.Richard3, 2.Ralph2, John1) the Weaver was born about 1536. He married Isabell (SAUNDERS ?) and the family lived at Lapworth, Warwickshire, England. In 1582, they moved to South Rookery farm. John died 1587. Overseers of his will were William SAUNDERS (?-1614) [Possibly John's brother-in-law] and John's sons, George and Ambrose. Isabell was born about 1538 and died after 1606. They had 9 children [David Patterson's Chart and Family History Library, IGI.]:
