Excerpt from The Griswold Family, England-America: Edward of Windsor, Connecticut, Francis of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Matthew of Lyme, Connecticut, Michael of Weathersfield, Connecticut The obscurity of dates, the destruction of entire community records by the elements, the unreliability of tradition, and family obscurity itself, only add to the puzzling situations. The loss of cemetery records is the most pitiable of all and this work is an appeal to all who are interested in the preservation of records to take the precaution now to preserve those gravestones which still remain. This work has been difficult for lack of funds and the compiler is grateful to the following persons for their various contributions to the accomplishment of this record.
