Honora Pawley

( - )



A number of websites suggest George Griswold married second to Dorothy James, but that is an error.

The Griswold Family Association publications give the second wife of George Griswold as Honora, perhaps nee Pawley, who he married about 1616. Honora was first married to John Underhill who died in Holland, 1608.

George purchased a cottage and garden in Kenilworth from Hugh and Lettice Underhill, siblings. They may have been children of John Underhill.

Honora married again after George Griswold died - to Dirck Thomaszen, 28 Nov 1828, in Holland.

Many sites have perpetuated the error that Dorothy James married a George Greswold and had various children who came to America. The available records do not support this. Dorothy James married Henry Greswold in Belbroughton, Warwickshire in 1592. They did have a son George (as well as Humphrey and William). However, George was only about 13 years old (i.e., born ca 1588) when his father died in 1601/2. George died about 1615. George was presumably unmarried as no mention is made of a wife or children and all of his property (including Greet Hill) went to his brother Humphrey. His father was born in 1563 (his mother, Dorothy, is reputed to have been born about 1567 and died in 1656). Thus they could not have had a son George born in 1548
