[When I typed in this data, I first suspected a potential problem with the
 two Azubah Griswolds listed. I then realized that at least the first was
 associated with Simsbury, CT, a town in which I have quite a few ancestors.
 In my work with my Simsbury families, I have time and time again noted
 intermarriages between families. Because of this, I no longer have a problem
 believing that both names are correctly identified.]
