I visited Ruth in Gerry homes about 1999. She was blind but very much with it. I saw one of her books but at that times she was not sure where she was donating them. I think I heard they are in Westfield. Last I knew her sister Margaret Green was still alive. Ruth had a nephew David Kapple in Westfield. If you find them please tell me because I would like to look at them. I have a copy of the book she made but it would be nice to see the original material. Good luck.

I did contact David Kapple and Margaret Green and neither knows where Ruth Griswold's genealogy papers went to. I am running out of time for proving Orpha Griswold's parentage. I know that she was the daughter of Seth and Zerviah Cowles Griswold but I cannot provide a birth record or an obit. for the DAR genies. I know that Ruth would not have suggested and shown the connection all the way from Seth and Zerviah to my grandfather, but I can not convince DAR. Thank you to all of you who tried to help!
