William Anderson Griswold, who is living at Wagon, Grundy County, Tennessee, is a pioneer miller of the county, and one of the most extensive land owners in the vicinity. He was born January 30, 1832, near Altamont, in what is know as Grundy County. His parents, Stephen M. and Sarah (Purdom) Griswold, were natives of, the former of Connecticut and the latter of North Carolina. Stephen M. Griswold grew to manhood in his native state, and first visited this part of Tennessee as a traveling salesman, handling clocks, etc. He settled here and turned his attention to farming and saw-milling, and became very prosperous, as he succeeded in accumulation large tracts of land in and around Altamont. He was very prominent in the local political affairs of the county before the way, and was County Court Clerk at that time. He was a Whig in his political views. He died in 1882 at the advanced age of eighty-four. He was married in Coffee County, Tennessee, to Miss Sarah Purdom, who come with her parents from her native state of Tennessee, when she was a child, and who died at Altamont. They were members in good standing of the Christian Church at which they were regular attendants.
