Grigsby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grigsby is a surname of unknown origin (possibly meaning 'of Grig's town/settlement)', stemming from a common progenitor, John Grigsby (1623-1730) who may have originated in Kent, England where the name is still known. Most Grigsbys in the United States of America trace lines of descent from this 17th century landowner, in Stafford County, Virginia.
