W elcome to a website devoted to the genealogy of the Delanson (dee-LAN-son) M. Griswold family. This includes his siblings, parents, and maybe an uncle or two; and all their descendants. Other families included here are Boyce, Gammet, Broughton, Brown, Wright, Hall, Gates, Salisbury, Roberts, Risley, etc. They lived in Ashtabula Co. OH, before that in Crawford Co. PA, and before that in Otsego Co. NY. It contains old pictures, family trees, a big database report, etc. My main reason for setting up this site is in hope of finding a way to prove Delanson's parentage. It is very likely his father was Daniel Griswold b. 1787, and the line back from there is well established all the way to the 1630's. This is the one missing link.

The Griswold coat of arms, as painted by my grandmother Jess Gardner Griswold. "Fortiter et Celeriter", down at the bottom, means "strongly and swiftly."
