Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of James H. Salisbury: With Portrait
The earliest appearance of the family in this coun try was In about 1644. At this time, for political reasons and to avoid the confiscation of property, etc., during the contest between the Parliament and the unfortunate Charles I, John Salisbury and Edward Salisbury, his brother, sons of Henry Salisbury. Esq., and younger brothers of Sir Thomas Salisbury, quietly got themselves away from Denbigh and emigrated to this country. The former settled at Swansea, Mas sachusetts, and the latter near Mount Hope, in Bristol, Rhode Island. Thomas Salisbury of Llanrust, Den bigh County, either came with them or followed soon after, and settled in Cranston. From family records and traditions, Thomas was supposed to be a brother of John and Edward, but it appears from English records that he was probably not a brother, but cousin. John and Edward derived from Henry Sailisbury, second son of John Salisbury, who became heir of Lleweni by reason of the death of his elder brother, Thomas, who suffered death September 20th, I 586, for 'endeavormg to deliver Marnueen of Scots, from Imprisonment. Thomas derived from Robert Salis bury, fourth son of Thomas Salisbury, heir of Lleweni.
