Chapter 1: Early Family Origins

Anna Griggs was born on September 18, 1775, in Plymouth, Litchfield County, Connecticut, just as the American colonies teetered on the edge of revolution. Her birth is clearly recorded in the Connecticut Town Birth Records (Barbour Collection): “Anna, daughter of Nathan & Anna, b. Sept. 18, 1775”. She entered the world during a year of profound political unrest—the same year the American Revolutionary War officially began with the battles of Lexington and Concord.
