Griscom family.
Biographical notes:
In 1901, Clement Acton Griscom, a businessman from Philadelphia, established a summer home at Horseshoe Plantation, north of Tallahassee. After his death, the plantation was divided four ways to become Luna, Water Oak, Bull Run, and Horseshoe plantations. Frances C. Griscom, his youngest daughter, inherited Water Oak Plantation.
Lloyd Carpenter Griscom, one of his sons, inherited the Luna Plantation. Lloyd C. was a distinguished diplomat serving in the overseas diplomatic corps. He served in France in World War I with General Pershing. He also practiced law, owned the Tallahassee Democrat, and was an author. In addition to the Luna Plantation, he owned property in New York, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. He was first married to Elizabeth Bronson of New York and, with her, had two sons, Frederick and Lloyd Preston. His second wife was Audrey Crosse of England.
