Because she has been tied to a famous Puritan Great Migration family, she is being tracked by Wikitree's Puritan Great Migration project.
Please use comments or g2g to discuss her details. Thanks.
Some say the wife of Francis Griswold was the Mary, b. say 1630[1] daughter of Stephen Tracy and Tryphosa Lee. As discussed further (see "Marriage") Stephen and his wife did have a daughter, Mary, but she was single in 1655 when her father left a bequest to her. Anderson reports she was then "perhaps unm[arried]" and shows no marriage for her. Wikitree's Puritan Great Migration project goes with this conclusion, thus she is attached to Stephen and Tryphosa, but detached from Francis Griswold and his children.
Some claim she was wife of Francis Griswold.[2] Still others claim Francis' wife was Mary, a daughter of Thomas Tracye.
Of Francis Griswold in 1939, Donald Lines Jacobus wrote, "The name of [Francis'] wife is unknown. The statement that he married Mary Tracy appears to have originated in "Fifty Puritan Ancestors," by E. T. Nash, 1902, but although often repeated since, no evidence has been adduced, and no Mary Tracy has been found who could have been his wife. Lieut. Thomas Tracy had no such daughter. Possibly the statement was due to a confusion of his wife with (his) daughter Mary Griswold who married a Tracy." [3]
Then in 2001: "The given name of [Francis'] wife, who came with him from Saybrook, was Sarah. Her surname has not been ascertained." [4]
The New London County Court records from 17 Sep 1672 show overseers of the estate of Widow Sarah Griswold being appointed. [5] The Griswold Family Association also accepts Francis' wife's name to be Sarah.

Do we have reliable sources to support that Stephen Tracy's daughter Mary Tracy became the wife of "Francis Griswold 12th?" ... And the mother of Sarah Milburn, b. c1662 at "Haddonfield, Burlington County, New Jersey?"
Much discussion about the claimed Griswold marriage in duplicate profile about Stephen Tracy's daughter, Mary, Tracy-271. c2018, the Mary's marriage to Griswold was disconnected.
The two Mary profiles will be set as unmerged matches, but the Griswold marriage on this profile should be cleaned up at the same time.
Thank you. --Gene

Perhaps her parents are Griswold-325 and Unknown-173019. The dates match up well.
