s/o Oscar Griswold and Reliance Brown.

Chauncey, or "Chan," Warner GRISWOLD, Sr., arrived in Nevada with his older brother Alfred when he was just 10 years old. The pair immediately went to work on a ranch in Elko County. Chauncey also watched over his neighbor's flocks and over several years' time was able to accumulate enough so-called "bummer" sheep that he established his own business and married Mary Ellen "Mattie" Dakin. Over time, Chauncey's sheep raising operation grew until it was one of the largest operations in the Silver State. In addition to their three sons, the couple also had one daughter, Rae.
