Assuming the birthdate we have for Tryphena is correct, it's very unlikely she had a child born after 1810; and no secondary source lists one for her. Listed one line below son, John GRIMES, Jr. (110010-00100-0-100).

The young girl with them in 1830 appears still to be with them. If she's the same girl, her age here makes it a certainty she is not Tryphena's daughter. He is the only GRIMES in Swanzey.

Cyrene Johnson 49 M Carpenter 600 Vt

Susan " 48 F NH

Tryphena Grimes 85 F Conn

If Tryphena truely was born in Connecticut, then we need to rethink her parents' locations.
