The Grosvenor family was one of the early settlers in New England, coming to Pomfret from Massachusetts in the late 1600s. Amos Grosvenor (1724-1799) married Mary Hutchins, and settled as a farmer in Pomfret. Among his children was a son, Benjamin H. (c. 1771-1847), who married Chloe Trowbridge, to whom were born eight children, the two eldest sons dying in early life.
