The ancestors of the Salis- SALISBURY bury family of Catskill, New York, i Silvester Salisbury, born in England or Wales about the year 1629. That he was a kinsman of the ancient family of Salisbury in Denbigshire, Wales, is proven by his coat-of-arms, which he brought with him from the mother coun- try, and which is now in the possession of his descendants in Catskill. This coat-of-arms is carved in hard wood, and except that the demi lion in the crest does not hold a crescent or, in its paws is identical with the coat-of- arms of the Welsh Salisburys. Two swords or rapiers also brought by Silvester Salisbury are preserved in the family, one stamped 1544 and in a hollow near the hilt is the word "Sachgum." The other sword bears the date 1616. Another heirloom is the portrait of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII; said to have been painted by Holbein. That he was well educated is shown by his letters. In 1664 Silvester Salisbury, being an ensign in the English army, took part in the con- quest of the New Netherland. In 1670 he was sent either as lieutenant or captain to take command of Fort Albany, and was al- most immediately appointed schout fiscal of Rensselaerwyck. The next year he aided in making a treay of peace between the Mo- hawks and the Indians of New England. Soon afterward he was appointed one of the jus- tices of the peace of Albany. In 1673 he was forced to surrender his post to the Dutch, who sent him a prisoner to Spain, at that time an ally of the United Provinces. During the next year he was released; returned to New York, and placed in command of his old post. In 1675 he was sent to England as bearer of dispatches to the king. He was probably chosen for this mission on account of his gentle birth. He was most graciously re-
ceived by the Duke of York, to whom he had been commended by Sir Edmond Andros. He returned to New York in the spring bearing letters from the duke to the governor of the province. In one of the letters the duke wrote, "I send you this by the hand of Cap- tain Salisbury; of him I have a good char- acter and therefore would have you remember him, upon any fit occasion for his advantage in my service." Since 1677 he in company with Marte Gerritse Van Bergen became the purchaser of an immense estate at Catskill, included within the boundary of the "Cats- kill Patent." But before a patent was ob- tained for their purchase Silvester Salisbury died. The date is unknown, but it was be- tween August 26, 1679, the date of his will, and March 24, 1680, the day on which his widow was confirmed as executrix of his will. He married, in 1669, Elizabeth, daughter of Peter Cornelise Beck, a master carpenter from Rotterdam. She survived him and mar- ried (second) Cornelius Van Dyck, a phy- sician of Albany. He died in 1687 and in 1691 she married (third) Captain George Bradshaw, of the English army. Children of Captain Silvester Salisbury: 1. Pieter, bap- tized in New York, March 15, 1676, died in infancy. 2. Mary, born August 5, 1678; mar- ried, in New York, May 15, 1701, Jacob Marius Groven; she was living in 1755. 3. Francis, of further mention. 4. Silvester (2), died leaving no issue.
(II) Francis, son of Captain Silvester and Elizabeth (Beck) Salisbury, was born in 1679. He became of age in 1700, but did not enter into possession of his father's estate in Catskill for several years thereafter, as it passed through a long and severe legislation before its boundary was finally settled by the court of error. While still a lordly domain, much of it was lost by the line being estab- lished by circular instead of straight lines of a specified distance. In the division between the Salisbury and the Van Bergen families, Francis took the northern portion of the low- lands, which included the plain on the Katts- kill between the highway from Leeds to Kaaterskill and Wolcotts Mills. It contained forty thousand acres in what is now the town of Leeds. Prior to coming into his inherit- ance. Francis lived at Albany and Kingston. In the autumn of 1699 he enlisted as a pri- vate soldier for the defence of the frontier against a threatened invasion by the French. In 1703 he removed to Catskill and was ap- pointed supervisor of the district between the Inbogt and the northern bounds of Cox- sackie. Two years later he built the Salis- bury mansion on the northeastern side of the
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
Windham turnpike on the terrace beyond Leeds. It was then the largest and most costly house between Albany and Newburg. Its walls were of massive stone quarried from the sandstone ledge in the neighborhood and pierced with loopholes, reminders of the days when all lived in terror of the Indians. Un- der the eaves are the initials of the builders and the date of building in letters of wrought iron, F.S. 1.7.0.5. Here Francis Salisbury lived until his death, about 1755.

(The Hand Line).
The Hands originally came from England, settling at Lynn, Massachusetts.

Crest ; on a wreath argent and gules a buck trippant or."

He was originally from the village of Stanstede in the county of Kent, England. The exact date of his coming to Easthampton is not known, but a power of attorney given by him is dated October 31, 1649, which is probably the year after the settlement.
