Alexander Viets Griswold, D.D. (1766-1843), born in Simsbury, Connecticut. After studying law for several years he entered the ministry and was ordained in 1795. He was elected Bishop of the Eastern diocese in 1810, being consecrated to that position in May of 1811. For some years he served both as parish priest and as bishop. He was a supporter of revivals, and was blessed with an extensive revival of religion in his own parish in 1812. He wrote several pieces in defense of revivals and awakenings.

“Bishop Griswold was eminently distinguished among the clergy of his Church for his evangelical spirit and earnest religious life.” – M’Clintock & Strong.
