EXCELLENT WORTHINGTON HISTORY.

Ezra Griswold was born in Simsbury, Connecticut in 1767 and spent his early life there. He married Ruth Roberts in 1789. He had befriended James Kilborne and became part of the latter\'s plans to emigrate to Ohio. Griswold subscribed for 500 acres of land with the Scioto Company in September 1802. In September 1803, at the age of 36, he packed up his family, by then consisting of four children and his wife, and headed for the Northwest Territory, a portion of which had just become Ohio in March of that year. The Griswolds were the only family in the group to use oxen to pull their wagon, a good decision given the condition of the roads between the Eastern seaboard and the western territory. As a result, they were the first to arrive at what would become Worthington, Ohio.Ezra Griswold was an unassuming, yet hard-working man. He became clerk of the first parish meeting, later elected reading clerk. He was second in the list of incorporators and elected second trustee. He opened the first tavern soon after arrival in the town and operated it right up to his death in 1822, when his son took over. He was the town\'s first merchant, and issued quite a lot of fractional scrip for the tavern, since coins were scarce on the frontier. Griswold\'s notes show upfairly often on the paper money market. He also built the first frame house, followed by the first brick house just across the street. Ezra Griswold was elected Justice of the Peace in 1808 and became the first secretary of the Free Masons when they set up a lodge in Ohio
