- 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.
"John9 Greswold (John8, John7, John6, John5, William4, Richard3, Ralph2, John1) the Elder, was born about 1510. He took over the South Rookery farm by 1548. He made his will there in 1578 and died 15 May 1583 in South Rookery, England. His spouse has not been identified. They had 8 children:
i. John Greswold, the Weaver, born about 1536, died 1586. [See Chapter 6]

2. The book "The Ancestry of Allen Grinnell Cleaver and Martha Irene Jessup," by William Jessup Cleaver (Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc., 1989), pp. 486-90, 494-95. Apparently this author has the opinion that this person is William, but the source above appears more modern:
"GRISWOLD
…The English ancestry of Edward has been the subject of much careful scholarly discussion (sometimes apparently heated). This solution appears to have the best documentation.
Roger Griswold of Rowington - Margaret
William Griswold
Roger Griswold of Kenilworth
George Griswold of Wooten Wawen - Dousabel
Edward Griswold, emigrant - Margaret
Francis Griswold (1st son of Edward)…
John Griswold (6th son of Edward) - Mary Bemis (See) …
D. ROGER GRISWOLD of Rowington, county Warwickshire, England died in 1545 leaving a will dated 9 June 1545 mentioning wife Margaret; sons Robert, William, John and Richard; and brother John. (1)
C. WILLIAM GRISWOLD was born about 1515 to 1520. He was the second son of Roger. He appears to be the father of Thomas of Rowington and Roger of Kenilworth. (1)(3)
B. ROGER GRISWOLD of Kenilworth was born about 1545-50 anti died before 1607. In a Chancery proceeding in 1602/3 involving certain lands, the relationship of this Roger to his father William is indicated. There were three sons: the second Roger of Kenilworth, Thomas of Stonley and George. (1)(2)(3)
A. GEORGE GRISWOLD was baptized at Wooten Wawan in Warwickshire in 1574. He married, first, Dousabel and had a son Edward. Dousabel was buried at Wooten Wawen, wife of George, 28 August 1615 and George remarried, a wife whose name is unknown. Sons Matthew and Thomas were born of this marriage. Edward and his half-brother Matthew emigrated to New England. (1)(2)(3)(9)
1. EDWARD GRISWOLD, son of George and Dousabell--, was baptized 26 July 1607 in Wooten Wawen, a chapelry of Henley in Warwickshire, England...
