No more careful work has been published than the "Salisbury Genealogies" of one branchi of the American family. That work shows that the English or Welsh ancestry has not been definitely worked out. Some matter, pur- porting to be family history of the first genera- tion in other publications, is entirely erroneous as to dates, names, localities and facts. There was no Thomas Salisbury at Cranston, Rhode Island. To make clear some of the family history that has been given incorrectly, both the pioneers, Nicholas and William, are men- tioned below.
Nicholas Salisbury, the first of the family in this country, left few traces of his residence here. He was in Sudbury, Massachusetts, as early as 1685, then aged forty-eight years, in- dicating that he was born in 1637. His wife Elizabeth died February 17, 1687-88, aged fifty-three years, fixing her date of birth as 1635. (See Whitmore's "Copps Hill Epitaphs," Myman's "Charlestown," Savage's "Genealog- ical Dictionary," and many other authorities which prove that no Salisbury came to New England at the time stated in the traditional account ).

He was always interested in the welfare of the young, and devoted much time to organizing and con- ducting Sabbath and singing schools. In 1815 he purchased a farm on Lot No. 95 in Scott, and this place was known afterward for many years as "Evergreen Terrace," the Salisbury homestead. At that time, however, it was in the wilderness, and, under the guiding hand of Mr. Salisbury, the land was cleared, graded and terraced, and it became one of the most picturesque spots in this section. At one time the original log house, the first frame dwell- ing, and the present beautiful house were all standing and made a remarkable object lesson, showing the growth in comfort and prosperity in a few generations. The broad acres were cleared and yielded abundant harvests. For many years Mr. Salisbury devoted himself especially to breeding cattle and sheep. He was studious and made a specialty of geology. In the old house huis collection of rocks, fossils and minerals is still preserved, excellent evi- dence of his extensive knowledge and untiring industry. During his long life, he held many positions of trust and honor and enjoyed the respect of all who knew him.

The coat-of-arms of the Pad- PADDOCK dock family represented a pel- ican plucking her breast to feed her young, in honor of one of them who. before the emigration to this country, saved an English garrison at the imminent hazard of his own life.
According to tradition, the Paddock family is of Welsh extraction. There is a direct tra- dition that several of the name emigrated to America together. One of them was Robert; another may have been Mary, who married Thomas Roberts, March 27, 1650; and another Deborah, who died unmarried, in Yarmouth. August 17. 1732, within about one month of ninety-three years.
(I) Robert, the first of the name of whom we have any knowledge, lived in Plymouth as early as 1634, and probably still earlier. There is the following entry in the Old Colony Rec- ords in 1638:
"At a Court of Assistants held the fourth day of June in the fourteenth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord Charles by the grace of God King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland Defender of the faith etc."

In 1641, December 31st, there is the follow- ing entries :
"At a Town meeting held the last day of Decem- ber in the * * * * year of his ma. etc." "Robert Paddock is granted foure acres of upland where he desired about K Dingle."
In 1646, October 20th :
"Att the third session of the general Court begun the first Tuesday in June holden the 20th of October in ye twenty-secondth year of the reigne."
"Whereas Robte Paddock complains to this Court for, and desires to have an account of what is due unto (him) by the last will and testament of Wm. Palmer, deceased, the Court desires Mr. Thomas Prence cited to come and give in an account or send it unto the Guynor yt so what is due unto ye said Paddock may be satisfied unto him according to the tenor of ye said will as soone as with conveniency he may and that before this winter yf he canne."
Among the "Presentments of the Grand in- quest" in 1648, is the following, June 4th :
"Robert Paddock of Plymouth and William Clark of Duxbury were both presented June the 4th for being drunk and both cleared by the paiment of their fine."
