Person:Ann Unknown (1183)

Michael Griswold "married Ann [---?---] about 1645. The maiden name of Ann has not been established. There has been a supposition that Ann's maiden name was Adams. However the only Adams in the area at that time with a daughter Ann was Jeremy Adams, b. 1604; of Hartford 1636. His daughter Ann married Robert Sanford.^[2] Therefore, in 1990, we examined and rejected suggestions that Michael's wife was Ann Adams or Ann Buck. Now in 1997, in the History of the Griswold Family Association, (p.17) is the hypothesis that her surname was Stocking, Hulburt or Woolcott. There is no reference and the last surname, at least, seems highly improbably as 111. Matthew's wife was Anna Wolcott, daughter of Henry."^[1] (emphasis added)

2. ↑ Actually, Jeremy's daughter Hannah married Jonathan Smith. The Sanford connection resulted from a misreading of records regarding Zachary Sanford. See comments to Jeremy Adams entry in Great Migration Begins.
