Charles W Grinnell, New York City, ~1860
My mother is Bernice Ivy Grinnell.She is one of the three daughters of Edgar James Grinnell and Lydia (Chown) Grinnell, who lived in Belleville and in Bloomfield, NJ.
Edgar James Grinnell was the son of Edgar B. Grinnell and Josephine Ida Whittle.Edgar B and Josephine were married in New York City in the year 1900.
According to his certificate of marriage, Edgar B. Grinnell was the son of Charles W. Grinnell and Eliza Ladd, and he was born in New York City.
I am now seeking information about the parentage of Charles W. Grinnell (or Grenell).Our family oral history suggests that he may have come from Litchfield County in Connecticut or thereabouts.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
