    Looking for confirmation that Edward Griswold 1607-1690, of Middlesex Co., CT the son of George Griswold 1548-1615 and Dorothy James 1567-1630.

    "The testimony of Capt. George Griswold aged about 72 years, and the testimony of Mr. John Griswold aged about 69 years, they both being sons of George Griswold, the deponents being both of Windsor in the county of Hartford and Colony of Connecticut in
    New England is as follows: viz: that our Grandfather's name was EDWARD GRISWOLD and it was formerly and has ever since been always accepted and reputed that our said Grandfather's father's name was yes is it snowing out there now I know where am I Little

    together with other elderly observing gentlemen, they are and have ever been so accepted and reputed to be, without contradiction or gainsaying, according to the best of our remembrance.
    "And the Deponents further add and say that the above named Edward Griswold's eldest son has always been called and reputed to be Francis Griswold, without any contradiction or gainsaying as aforesaid that we know of.
    "Windsor in Hartford County in Connecticut, New England, personally appeared, on the 19th day of January, Anno Dom. 1737-8. Capt. George Griswold and John Griswold, the above named Deponents, and made solemn Oath, in due form of law, to the truth of the

    It's amazing that in the sixteenth century they named someone "Yes is it snowing out there now I know where am I Little bit chubby OK darlin’ well I feel them now so they’re having a little picnic on Sunday OK bye-bye I can’t Griswold." I guess
    sort of like Hate-Evil Nutter and Praise-God Barebones?

    I too found it amusing, and questioned the authenticity of the alleged document. Then I realized that probably the poster was using voice-to-text to transcribe the document in question, when they were interrupted by a side-conversation, and didn't
    realize that their device was still transcribing their voice.

    It has been transcribed into Wikitree as well

    "On 19 Jan 1737/8, Capt. George Griswold, aged about 72, and Mr. John Griswold, aged about 69, sons of George Griwsold, both of Windsor, Conn., testified that their grandfather's name was Edward Griswold, that their great-greatfather was George Griswold
    who had three sons, the eldest named Edward, the second named Matthew and the third or youngest named Thomas, of whom the first two came to New England from "Killigsworth" in Warwickshire; also that said Edward's eldest son has always been reputed to be
    Francis Griswold. "

    This may be a little confused. To the best of my knowledge the 9 May 1700 testimony of George Griswold, aged about 67, does not address the identity
    of the mother of the immigrant Edward Griswold; nor does the 19 Jan 1737/8 testimony of Capt. George Griswold, aged about 72.

    Dorothy James was the wife of a Henry Griswold of Grete and Yardley. This
    Henry Griswold is shown in a visitation of Warwickshire as the father of a George Griswold, and this George Griswold was by some people identified
    as the father of the immigrant Edward (b. 1607). But in 1963 Genevieve
    Tylee Kiepura showed ("Griswold Ancestry in England", TAG 39:176) that the marriage bond of Henry Griswold and Dorothy James is dated 1592, making it implausible that their son George was the George who was identified by
    multiple descendants as the father of the immigrant Edward.

    Elsewhere in the same article it's noted that the parish record of Wooten
    Wawen (a chapelry of Henley) contains the baptism of an Edward, son of
    George Griswold, 26 Jul 1607, which matches tidily with records of the immigrant's age; also the baptism of George, son of Roger, 6 Nov 1574, and
    the burial of Dousabel, wife of George Griswold, 28 Aug 1615. This Dousabel would seem to be a plausible candidate to have been the mother of the
    immigrant Edward, even if his younger brothers had a different mother. A Dousabel Leigh married a George Griswold on 1 Jul 1594 at Kenilworth. At
    any rate, it seems reasonably clear that the immigrant Edward's mother was
    not Dorothy James.

    Patrick,

    I may have to send you an email regarding the Wentworth genealogy one of these days soon as I noticed it on your site. I am going to be working on my Berney of Reedham line and it ties into Wentworth in England. Have you been working on that family or
    your wife?

    I am also a Margaret Wyatt Allyn descendant as well and I am curious to also view your research as well!

    All I know about the Berneys of Reedham is that a granddaughter of John
    Berney of Reedham (d. 1440) married John Paston (1421-1466) of the Paston Letters family. My knowledge of the ancestry of the immigrant William
    Wentworth comes entirely from secondary sources, and my understanding is
    that one or more articles forthcoming in TAG will disprove at least one of his long-claimed royal ancestors. I'm no expert.

    I am also a Margaret Wyatt Allyn descendant as well and I am curious to
    also view your research as well!

    It's all there on my site's entry for her:

    http://nielsenhayden.com/genealogy-tng/getperson.php?personID=I4584&tree=nh1

    I'm not holding anything back. There's lots more about her husband Matthew Allyn, if you click through the link to his page; he was a genuinely interesting figure in early Connecticut history. But this is getting a
    little afield of medieval genealogy.

    That's fine, I didn't expect you to be an expert, far from it, just looking at what you have.

    The Berney genealogy is more of a mess than the Devereux genealogy I had been working on. It turns out that many in the Paston Letters are my ancestors, but trying to identify the true lineages has proven to be incredibly frustrating.

    If there is forthcoming information from TAG then I look forward to it.

    Terry J. Booth, Paul C. Reed, and Nathaniel Lane Taylor published an article in 2 parts in vol. 90 (2018) of TAG, showing the male-line ancestry of William Wentworth for five generations.. As I recall, there was a footnote discussing the status of
    various proposed royal descents for William Wentworth. Per the authors at that time, there may be further articles planned.

    More recently the same authors published another article in 2 parts in vol. 91 (2021) of TAG regarding Margaret de Brewse, 1st Wife of Sir Thomas Hawley, which is subtitled "A New Royal Line for the Marbury-Wentworth Immigrant Cousins". I haven't yet
    read the 2nd two-part article.

    You can see the detailed citations these articles here: https://americangenealogist.com/contents/recent-issues/

    If your local library has an interlibrary service, it should be easy for you to obtain copies of these articles if you're interested.

    Margaret de Brewse (or de Braose) was a member of the same family ancestral to a number of other immigrants, including Gov. Thomas Dudley, Edmund Hawes, and (probably) the Ward-Markham group from Little Wratting.

    I wonder what the Samuel Bellingham note is about ... hopefully not just a repetition of stuff that was posted on the newsgroup in the recent past.

    https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/9CfzJSyc_R0/m/t-mlBMFpAgAJ

    I notice that some collection of manuscripts contains (used to contain?) a letter from Samuel Bellingham to his son Samuel, 1666.

    https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_Catalogue_of_the_Manuscripts_Preserved/1f8UAAAAQAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22samuel+bellingham%22+letter&pg=PA742&printsec=frontcover

    Possibly the same people?
