      From "A Narrative of the Griswold Family
      From "A Narrative of the Griswold Family by Ruth Lee Griswold-Ancient Windsor pages 350-351" Mary, daughter of Edward and Margaret, baptised 13 Oct 1644 married Timothy Phelps March 19, 1661. She died March 2, 1717.

      The photos are the wrong cemetary and the information about her death date is contradictory.
      Mary Griswold is my 6th great-grandmother and I live in Windsor, CT. When I moved here I did not know my ancestors lived here. I'll take photos of the site and if I find anything I will post it here.

      Mary was treated by John Winthrop, Jr.
      Mary was treated by John Winthrop, Jr. on October 6, 1659. He described her as "about 16."

      Mary died after Timothy 1719--named in his Will
      Find A Grave memorials are NOT primary sources; this does not contain the photo of a headstone.
      Mary's husband, Timothy, left a Will in which he explicitly names his wife, Mary. He died in Sep 1719, therefore, Mary died after that date.

      From his Will, dated Sep 1719, "...appoint my loving wife Mary to be my executrix and my three sons..."

      Publications that give various other dates for her death are not correct.
