In person he was only a little above eaverage height, hair and complexion light; an enterprising and influential man in all public affairs; served in the General Assembly and many places of public trust; resided on his farm of some 500 acres at Simsbury, beautifully located in the bend of the Farmington River where it breaks through Talcott Mountains.The beauties of the location were marred later by the erection of the manufacturing town of Tariffville, which is only a short distance from the old farm site, where Griswold Mills is said to have been located. Samuel was a man of genial disposition and of great industry.
