John Grist or John Griste who came to the American colonies c. 1668.
« on: Saturday 02 November 13 17:05 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for John Grist, or John Griste who came to the American colonies c. 1668. He was a Quaker (Quaker marriage after settling on the Delaware) and may have converted before leaving UK. Family lore has him from Wales and spending some time in Holland.

Hi johnedawson, on the LDS site there is an entry for a John Griste who was baptised in Montgomery, Montgomeryshire Wales on September 19th 1667, Montgomery is a small town on the border between England and Wales

I saw the post on the Wiltshire board ... since this is the one with replies so far, maybe we should stick to this one.
... actually, since what I'm posting does related to Wiltshire: deleting here and adding there.
