NOTE: This Phebe GRISWOLD has been confused with Phebe BALDWIN, daughter of Thomas BALDWIN and Abigail LAY. The Griswold Family Association confirmed that Phebe GRISWOLD was the one who married Rev. Jonathan PARSONS, NOT Israel POST. It was Phebe BALDWIN who married Dr. Israel POST, Sr. of Hebron, CT.
