- THE GRINNELL FAMILY
The Grinnell line began in France and has been traced as far as Pierre Renelle, collector of taxes in 1510, born about the year 1480 and married 15 March 1509 to a Marie Perrier.
1. Mathew Grinnell was born in Macon, France in 1602. He was the son of Jean Grenelle, Lord of Pimont, keeper of the government salt stores and counsellor to the King. Jean inherited from his parents the estate of Pimont and a residence at Tounurs, and was also general heir at law of Claude Grennelle, his brother.
Mathew embraced the Protestant religion and from this fact was obliged to emigrate. He settled in Rhode Island.
He was admitted 20 May 1638 as an inhabitant of Newport. Five years later, 10 Nov. 1643, his widow Rose made ante-nuptial agreement with Anthony Paine, then of Portsmouth, whose wife she became. She deeded to her three sons Mathew, Thomas and Daniel, two...goats a piece and to her son Mathew a cow; also it was agreed that upon the death of either the property of the one deceased should go to the children of that person.
