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).

1 female 60-69 1760-1770 = Tryphena (b. 1765)
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
Josephine C "  5 F       NY
Tryphena Grimes 85 F       Conn
If Tryphena truely was born in Connecticut, then we need to rethink her parents' locations.
