      3. The book "An Emerson-Benson Saga. The Ancestry of Charles F. Emerson and Bessie Benson And the Struggle to Settle the United States, Including 194 Allied Lines…," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 138-41:
      "SAMUEL2 BUELL (WILLIAM1) was born 2 September 1641 in Windsor, CT, and died 11 July 1720 at Killingworth (later Clinton), CT. He married 13 November 1662 at Windsor, DEBORAH2 GRISWOLD, daughter of EDWARD1 and MARGARET (___) GRISWOLD (see GRISWOLD). DEBORAH2 was born and baptized 28 June 1646, the same day, according to Rev. Matthew Grant (ref. 2), in Windsor and died 7 February 1717-9 at Killingworth. She was therefore married at 16 and a mother at 17.
      In 1659 at the age of 18 SAMUEL2 and Timothy Thrall were under contract with a Mr. Pyncheon of Springfield, MA., to, "Hew the timber for the old fort" (ref. 2). This was a brick building (the only one built until 1800) which his future father-in-law, EDWARD1 GRISWOLD, held the contract to build. SAMUEL2 and his wife lived in Windsor on a houselot adjoining his father that his father had bought and given them.
      SAMUEL2 apparently did some carpentry work for the town, perhaps at his father's behest, for in a 1664 town meeting he was voted "for gallery worke by rates taken of by Samuell Buell 09-09-00" (ref. 2) (9 pounds 9 shillings 0 pence).
      In October of 1663, SAMUEL2 and his father-in-law EDWARD1 GRISWOLD were among the 20 subscribers given permission by the General Assembly to begin the "Settlement & Plantation at Hamonessett" (ref. 2). By 12 May 1664, he and his father-in-law had moved to Kenilworth (later Killingworth and then Clinton) CT, probably in time for the spring planting. He was made one of two surveyors for the town in 1668 and on 19 October 1669 was one of 19 Freemen listed there. He was chosen constable in 1671-2, having to enforce rders such as, "Voted by the towne that if any man shall wholy absent himselfe from any towne meeting having had sufficient warning at lest twenty foure houres before shall pay twelve pence" (ref. 2).
      In 1681 he received his inheritance from his father, including the family home in Windsor and half his father's carpentry tools. In 1691 he was elected the first deputy to serve Killingworth and from that date until 1715, he was elected a deputy 17 times and attended meetings of the General Assembly in Hartford and New Haven 19 times. On 11 May 1704, he was named justice of the peace for New London County and held that office almost contivally until he was last elected 6 May 1720, about two months before his death.
      SAMUEL2 acquired considerable property during his lifetime. In addition to his holdings in Windsor, among other grants and purchases he accomplished the following: in 1693 he received a 100-acre tract ten miles east of Windsor; he and his son Capt. SAMUEL3 bought 30 acres of meadow at the head of Indian meadow; and on 14 October 1703, "The General Court grants to Samuel Buell and associates, the proprietors of Killingworth, a large tract of land between Guilford and Saybrook and running north to 'Haddum bounds'" (ref. 2).
      SAMUEL2 drew his will 8 June 1720, and an inventory of his estate was presented by Capt. SAMUEL3 and two of his brothers as executors 9 August 1720. It included the following catagories: "Wearing apparel ... Aarms" [a musket, rapier, back sword and razor] "Beds and Beding ... Cubbards, Chests, &c. … Horned Cattle" [a pair of oxen, cows and steers] "Horse Kinde" [horses, swine, sheep, candle and Indian corn and] "Houseing and Lands" (ref. 2). SAMUEL'S estate was valued at 562 pounds 4 shillings 6 pence.

      6. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 248-49:
      "EDWARD GRISWOLD (GEORGEA, HENRYB) was born circa 1607 in Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and died in 1691 in Killingworth, CT. He was the oldest of three (five?) sons of GEORGEA GRISWOLD of Kenilworth and the grandson of HENRYB and DOROTHYA (JAMES) GRISWOLD of Greet, County Warwick. His family dates back to the late 13th century, when JOHN GRISWOLD of Kenilworth married (___) HUGGERFORD, circa 1290. EDWARD1 GRISWOLD marred as his first wife by 1629-20, probably in Kenilworth, MARGARET HICKS?. MARGARET1 was born circa 1610 in England and died in August of 1670 in Kenilworth, CT. "Her gravestone marked as ‘M.G. 1670' is known as the oldest monument in the Congregational graveyard at Clinton, CT (formerly part of Killingworth)" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 married circa 1672 as his second wife, probably in New London, CT, Sarah? (___) Bemus, widow of James, who died in New London in 1665. Sarah? had two daughters by her first marriage, Rebecca2 and Mary2. Mary2 married John2, EDWARD1's son, creating the interesting situation of John2 having a mother-in-law who was also his step-mother. EDWARD1's second wife Sarah? probably died in Killingworth.
      In 1639 EDWARD immigrated from Kenilworth, England, to Windsor, CT, perhaps by boat from Dorchester, MA, with Rev. Ephraim Huit (as part of his congregation), or directly from England with George Fenwick on his second visit to the Colonies. Accompanying him, whenever he came, was his wife MARGARET1. MARGARET1, "mother of eleven children, was a real pioneer pilgrim. After nine years of married life in England, with five baby children, she braved the wilderness of the New World at Windsor. Here she lived a full quarter of a century, and then lived for seven years in the new virgin town of Kenilworth," [later Killingworth] "Conn., which was named for her home town in England" (ref. 1).
      In the new world EDWARD1 was always addressed as "Mr.", a title rarely granted and indicating he had a strong financial and social background in England -- and that he had earned great respect among his peers in the New World. Between 1640 and 1642 EDWARD1 was granted 150 acres of land by the town of Windsor and was one of the first settlers of Poquonock, four miles west of Windsor. By 1649 the danger of Indian raids was still so real that 'The Gen'l Court, in view of the ‘many dangers the familyes of Edward Griswold, Thomas Holcombe," [etc.] "are in, by reason of remote living from neighbors and nearness to the Indians', frees one of them from training on each training day, provided he stand about as a sentinel" (ref. 1). EDWARD1 was a deputy to the General Court for Windsor from 1658 to 1661. In 1662 he was the foreman of a jury of 12 men who condemned Nathaniel Greensmith as "worthy of death for witchcraft. They found Rebecca, his wife, also guilty and she confessed same in open court. ...The witchcraft delusion was very light in America compared to Europe" (ref. 1).
      EDWARD1 deeded his Windsor property to sons George2 and Joseph2 shortly before he became one of the 21 subscribers in 1663, along with ancestor JOSIAH2 HULL (see JOSIAH2 HULL for details) to help found Kenilworth, CT. Most of his children were married and settled in Windsor at this point, but apparently he wanted to move once more. Thus, at the age of 56, he went with his wife and two children, plus newly married daughter DEBORAH2 and son-in-law SAMUEL2 BUELL, to help settle Kenilworth. EDWARD1 served as the first deputy from that town to the General Court in 1667 and the General Court appointed he and JOSIAH2 HULL as commissioners for Kenilworth. This post he held for 14 years. In 1672 he drew up a Conditional Inheritance Deed, which served as his will when he died. In it he made son John2 his principal beneficiary, but named his other children and their children as well. In 1678 EDWARD1 served on a committee to help set up a Latin School in New London.
      EDWARD1 and MARGARET (HICKS?) GRISWOLD had the following children, the oldest five? (six?) born at Kenilworth, county Warwick, England, and the rest in Windsor, CT:
