[13] For several years, he was well known as a cotillion leader,[14] and "long occupied a place in the inner circle of New York clubmen and aristocratic sportsmen.

[14] In 1907, 53 year-old Griswold was married to noted beauty,[17] Josephine (née Houghteling) Canfield (1864–1937) at St. Andrews Church in Westminster, London in a small wedding that was attended by U.S.

[19] The Griswolds owned a large red brick home designed by McKim, Mead & White in Roslyn, New York, known as Cassleigh.

[24] In his obituary in The New York Times, he was described thusly:[2] "In appearance he is an ideal weight and figure for riding.

Tall, slender, lithe, with an anglicized drooping mustache, a manner that is courteously indifferent, and a way of talking that insinuates worldliness and assurance.

[2] His funeral was held at St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue and he was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
