On the ]st of June lX43 Edward's will was admitted to probate and on the 7th of June was recorded in the Surrogate's office Ithaca, N. Y. The executors named in the will are Edward's sons, Abram, Edward and Nathan. The heirs mentioned are the following: Edward Griswold, Nathan Griswold, Timothy Stow and Polly Stow his wife, William Hoaglin and Asenath Hoaglin his wife, Jesse Topping and Jerusha Topping his wife, Laura Griswold, Leonard Griswold, and the minor children of Charles Griswold, deceased, all of Dryden, N. Y., George Carr and Nancy Carr his wife of East Almond. Alleghany Co., and Asenath Griswold, widow of Edward. The following persons opposed the probate of Edward's will: Timothy Stow and Polly Stow his wife, William Hoaglin and Asenath Hoaglin his wife, Jesse Topping and Jerusha Topping his wife, Corydon Tyler and Levy Hubbell. Edward's will, dated Jan. 1, 1836, provided the sum of $300 for each of his four daughters, Polly Asenath, Nancy, and Jerusha. He bequeathed all the remaining property, except ~4 part of the same for the heirs of his son Charles, to his three sons, Abram, Edward, and Nathan, who were made executors of his will. The daughters of Edward, most of them evidently thought that the will was not fair to all, the former will having been changed to a new will. By the former will Edward had left his daugh- ters all of his personal property. The witnesses to the will were Hiram Hunter of Virgil, N. Y. and Zina Lindsey of Dryden. Hiram Hunter drafted the will after the general form of the old will. Abram Griswold was the father of Asenath, wife of Hiram Hunter. Nathan Griswold lived then (1836) with his father in another part of the house. Probably the house where the will was drawn up stood next to the house of James H. Hurd. This house has since dis appeared, but H. D. Griswold saw it as a boy. It was the home of Abram Griswold. Zina Lindsey deposed as follows: "Don't know whether the old gentleman could write beyond his name or read writing. Deponent knows he was a very poor scholar and never saw him write that he remembers anything more than his name. If decedent had been able to write or read writing, deponent thinks from his long acquaintance with him he would have known it". It may be remarked parenthetically that by 1834 twenty three Griswolds had graduated from Yale College and seven from the other New England Colleges, except Harvard. But in the line, Edwardl, John2, Daniel~ Daniel B.4, and Edwards, there is not a single College graduate known to although there were excellent opportunities for College preparation at Killingworth, Ct. and Fairfield, N. Y. Further, under direct examination Zma H. Lmdsey deposed as follows: "When there was any important business on hand, Abram Griswold was with decedent generally speaking .................. He (deponent) supposed the old gentleman in speaking that he had given his girls all his personal property meant the movables he had on the farm". According to the deposition of Abram Griswold, Edward his father died on the 22nd March, 1843. In the note book of H. D. Griswold there is an entry dated June 21 1912, in which Stiles, Windsor, Il. 356, is quoted, as follows: "Edward b. Feb. 11, 1758 (probably removed to Cayuga, New York) ". On this quotation there is the following comment: "I must discover from the monu ment of my great grandfather Edward Griswold in the Dryden cemetery, whether he was born Feb. 11, 1758 or not." Under date of July 2, 1912 there is the following entry in the note-book: "While in Dryden I visited the cemetery and took the following data from the grave-stone: "Edward Griswold, a Revolutionary Soldier, died March 22, 1843, aged 85 years 1 month and 10 days''. And the conclusion joyfully enunciated: "The con nection of great grandfather Edward Griswold, the ancestor of all the Dryden Griswolds, with the Connecticut Griswolds is at last settled". Since then however. much other evidence has heen discovered. Edward Griswold, besides going to sea with his father, if he actually did so, and serving in the Revolutionary War, lived in three places, Kllllng worth, Ct., Fairfield, N. Y. and Dryden, N. Y. Hence he had an un- usually large experience of the world. On Oct. 3, 1832 Edward applied to Government for a pension on ac- count of service in the Revolutionary War. The claim was allowed. Asenath, his wife, also applied for a pension, which was granted Sept. 16, 1843, when she was 86 years old. Edward's connection with the Church at Dryden is uncertain. He, indeed, sold land for the Presbyterian Church at a nominal price, but at the organization of the Church at Dryden his name is not entered as a charter member, whereas his wife Asenath's name is. He was, however, a great reader of the Bible in the form of Scott's Commentaries, as the following statements attest: "I recollect going up there in the winter season with sleigh bells ringing. Grandfather Griswold said that he was reading of 'bells on the horses' when he first heard the bells ringing. He read the Old Testament principally, I think. He had a stand on which lay his Bible, and when he came in tired, he would generally sit down and read. He read slowly". (Benjamin Griswold). "I have always heard that he could not read until he was a grown man. He prized knowledge, as proved by the fact that he purchased and possessed a whole set of Scott's Commen taries. He would get his book and sit down with one foot (or both) on another chair. And then he would always read partly aloud, but only for his own benefit. I could not understand his reading. While he was reading he would be working one foot (perhaps as an unconscious sign of hard work). He read daily. He would read along in a monotone and then his voice would suddenly rise a pitch". (Sarah Griswold Carmer). "He used to take one of these very books (i. e. Scott's Commentaries) and read it aloud. I could understand the reading, but every word had an affix, 'uh' as in and-uh. Sometimes he read in his bed room and sometimes in the other rooms, especially the kitchen. He read the Bible frequently." (Daniel Griswold). "One of the granddaughters coming home and telling how grandfather read and-uh, we uh, etc., was slapped for making light of grandfather's reading". (Nancy Griswold Bartholomew). "His reading used to amuse us children. I heard his son Nathan say that as good a sermon as his father cared to read was found in Scott's Commentaries on the Bible'' (Laura Hurd Griswold). Other anecdotes and reminiscences are the following: "Not so tall as his son Nathan. nor so thickset as his son Edward. Always had one stiff leg. Leonard Griswold told me that when he was a small boy, his grandfather was sitting one day with the stiff leg over the other, when he (Leonard) ran and jumped on the stiff leg forcing it down. He yelled like mad. Leonard thought it did him good, or at least it was so reported. He always walked with a cane." (Benjamin Griswold). I recollect as a child that once when he was here he rolled up the pantaloon of one leg and showed a scar which he said had been inflicted in the Revolutionary War. Some, however, declared that he received the hurt, when he was killing hogs". (Laura Hurd Griswold). Edward was an industrious man. He raised a great deal of stock, hogs, calves, sheep; also corn and wheat. He liked to have his work well done. His market was Albany. He was a 'handy' man, He himself could hoop all barrels, and if the tin pans got to leaking, he mended them also. He looked after things, a man who stayed at home and attended to his own business. Industrious himself, he had no patience with laziness. "A man not remarkable for industry used to come off and on to the house of Grand father Griswold for a day's visit. Grandfather always made it a point some time during the COnversation to bring in the Scripture quotation, 'If any will not work, neither let him eat"'. (Benjamin Griswold on the authority of Nathan Griswold). "When grandfather Griswold was a sailor, he touched at some port (presumably southern), where they had slaves. A man in charge of slaves was trying to make the slaves put a hogshead of molasses where he wished, but did not succeed. Finally he got out of patience and began to put the whip on them. Grandfather then stepped up and said, 'Let me take these hands, and I will put the hogshead in its place. 'He took hold of the hogshead himself, and said, 'Boys, when I give the word, all lift'. The result was that they put the hogshead in its place without any difficulty. They wished to hire him to take charge of the slaves". (Benjamin Griswold on the authority of his father). "Jesse Topping told me that when grandfather and grandmother started to move from Connecticut, they had a horse and an ox for a team He said that when they got to the Hudson, somebody living on the Hudson said to them, 'Go on, go on, we don't want any such trash to stop here'. Grandfather swore at him". (Sarah Griswold Carmer). ''He practiced athletics a great deal. He is reported to have used the sitting room oftentimes for teaching his boys the different locks in wrestling. He was straight and limber till old age. He was able to stoop without bending his knees, until his hand touched the floor, at the age of 70. My impression is that I saw him do this". (Daniel Griswold). Edward is reputed to have been a teller of "big" stories, for which he was forgiven on account of being a sea faring man. For example, in the Dryden Herald of March 1, 1899, there is a letter by Warren Foote 011 Old Times Recalled. In this there is a reference to Capt. Edward Griswold He was a very Jovial sort of a man, and loved to tell extravagant yarns''. The following on the basis of general tradition may serve as an instance Edward is reported to have said that when he was mowing on a certain occasion, a deer jumped over the fence and stuck fast in a snowbank Then he ran up and cut the deer's throat with a scythe. His granddaughter Lydla Grlswold Sweetland, remarks: "He used to tell stories for fun, and after he got old he told them for truth." E. g. He said he could count the nails in the Bradshaw house from our house (a mile away)''. There was also a general report that he claimed to raise carrots so long that they stuck out of the end of the ox cart. As regards food, Edward and his family ate what they raised on the farm, pork and potatoes, bread, butter, cheese, and all sorts of farm pro duce. There were also apples in abundance and cider. "People used to collect at grandfather's house and drink cider. Grandmother would allow just so much and no more. Grandfather thought she was foolish. His eldest son Abram used to say that had it not been for grandmother, grandfather mlght have been a drunkard". (Lydia Griswold Sweetland). As luxuries Edward used a little coffee and tobacco. "He usually took one cup of coffee and sweetened it with honey. Into this he used to break up bread or crackers. He ate little or nothing else." (Lydia Griswold Sweetlalld). "He used as little tobacco as one could use and use any at all. He chewed, but never smoked". (Sarah Griswold Carmer). "I remember, while we lived there, that he got some whiskey for the men in the hay-field. Daniel and I were in the room when he poured it and spilled some on the stand. We thought we would see how it tasted and so sucked up a little". (Sarah G. Carmer). "Daniel was a little boy about 7 or 8 years old. He was trying to kindle a fire in the kitchen fire place, and grandfather thinking that he was not accomplishing very much said a word or two. Danlel went on without paying any attention. Finally grandfather poked Daniel with his foot. Daniel's mother Edward's daughter in law, remonstrated or said something. Then grandfather Edward turned right around, poked a little tobacco into his mouth and made for his room". (Sarah G. Carmer). Sarah's sister Nancy's testimony is similar". If there was ever any disagreement between gandfather and grandmother about anything, she would talk so fast that he had never a chance. He would give in at once, take a fresh chew of tobacco and retire to his room". According to all accounts, Edward in his old age was bent over and seemed small and thin, with yellow white hair, blue eyes and rather short stature. He used spectacles, but only to read, and he kept his spectacles in the Bible. His complexion was fair, not dark. His hair was probably auburn or brown, when he was young "Edward used to come over every day to the house of James H. Hurd (through the fence), and entering by the kitchen door used to slt down in the sitting room, and say: 'Cousin Harvey, I've come over to see you once more before I die". "When he came in, he always used to put his hand into his pocket and pull out an apple. This he would cut up with a jack-knife and give to the children. He did not like it, if the pieces were not taken." (Laura Hurd Griswold). Edward died in the house of his son Abram in Dryden village next to the house of James H. Hurd, the first cousin of his wife Asenath Hurd Griswold. Further concerning Edward and Asenath: Edward Griswold is said to have accompanied his father Daniel B. on his trading voyages to the West Indies, and perhaps engaged in that business himself; in that way earning the title of Captain by which he was familiarly known in Dryden. "In those days the grain was threshed in the barn with horses, and the straw was thrown out into the yard below without stacking. Grand- father had a lot of hogs which crawled under the straw out of sight. Grand father was driving to the barn for the purpose of getting grain, and drove on this straw. The hogs being under the straw threw the horses down and there was general confusion. Grandfather hobbled off with his cane and lame leg shouting for help". (Eye witness B. Griswold, when a small boy). "When B. Griswold was a small boy (2 or 3 years old), he was once out in the hay field. His grandfather was sitting down resting with his shirt front well open. A little snake appeared and some one told the small boy to pick it up. He did so. Then somebody cried out, 'Carry it to grandpa'. So he did, and when he got nearly to him, he gave it a throw. The snake landed in his bosom! and made him get up pretty qulck. (B. Griswold on the authority of his father and mother). Most of the work done in the corn field was done with the hoe. A certain hired man used to get through his row quickly and then sit down until the rest caught up. Edward put another man on the same row to hoe it after him. "Grandfather was somewhat particular about things. I once went to the house of a poor neighbor who was older than I. She told me how much she liked sweet apples, and I asked her to come over and have some. She came with a little sack in her hand and we started together for the back part of the orchard. Grandfather saw us and came after us shouting. 'I .wo'nt have people running over the orchard and choosing for themselves' Then we turned and followed him back. He went to a very nice tree of red apples called 'Door yard apples'. He showed her them, and she filled her sack and carried it home. She did not get her sweet apples". (Sarah Griswold Carmer) . "It was reported that he could reckon up the price of a load of wheat as quickly in his head as others could with paper and pencil". (B. Griswold on authority of his father).

ASAHEL7 LANE (DANIEL6, DANIEL5, JOHN4, ROBERT3, DANIEL2, UNKNOWN FATHER1) was born WFT Est. 1756-1781, and died 1813. He married ABIGAIL JANE ALCOTT August 26, 1793 in Wolcott, New Haven, Connecticut, daughter of DAVID ALCOTT and ABIGAIL JOHNSON. Notes for ASAHEL LANE: [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3055, Date of Import: Jul 21, 1996] Extract from Genealogical Notes on the Families of Daniel Lane 2d and Mary Griswold Lane: Asahel removed to Camden, NY, probably about 1908. It seems most likely from land sales about 1803, recorded at Waterbury, that Asahel, set out for a new home in 1804, at nearly the same time with his brother-in-law, David Beckwith. This probablity seems stronger from the fact that his presence at Wolcott in 1803 is indicated by the death of his child Patty in that year, and by the inclusion of his name in the list of freemen for the same year; and also from the disappearance of his name from all later records of the town. Camden, however, is in the northwestern part of Oneida County, eighteen miles from Rome, and thirty-three miles from Utica. Paris is about ten miles further away from Camden, in the southeastern part of the county, at the head of the Sauquoit valley. The traditions left to their descendants give no color to the notion, not unnaturally held in Connecticut, that either family knew precesely where the other had settled. Mrs. Ingham, who was in nowise indifferent to her relatives, and who was historical authority for the tribe of David and Mabel, never seemed aware that her mother's brother, who was also her own brother's namesake, ever came to Oneida county.

She married DAVID BECKWITH December 18, 1786 in Wolcott, New Haven, Connecticut, son of MARVIN BECKWITH and ABIGAIL CLARK. Notes for MABEL LANE: [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3055, Date of Import: Jul 21, 1996] Extract from Genealogical Notes on the Families of Daniel Lane 2d and Mary Griswold Lane: Jan'y 30, 1804, David and Mabel sold their land and appear next at Whitestown, Oneida Co., N.y. May 15, 1806, David bought of Ichabod and Margary Peavey, in the neighboring town of Paris, 61 1/2 acres "by estimation." Her death preceded the birth of any grandchild, - one early-dying son of her oldest daughter excepted, - but to the dear regard in which her memory was long held by one of her sons is due this tardy effort to recover and preserve the true history of the old household of her honored parents at Wolcott. This statment refers only to the initial movement toward a correction of errors then known to affect the nevertheless valuable works of Messrs. Orcutt and Fitts. The grandchildren of Mabel and of her brothers and sisters have shown it true that Lane blood is still, in Sawney's kindly phrase, "thicker than water." To this is due most of the final result of the initial movement.
