486
HISTORY OF KINGSTON.
by one of the descendants of the family direct from Wales, their native country. It is as follows :
" Sylvester Salisbury (April 25th, 1883) .--- I had not noticed the further inquiry in Bye-gones respecting this gentleman until the other day, when I had occasion to look into my copy of the work for another purpose. The best answer I can give to this inquiry is, to rehearse in the first place what Lewys Dwnn says about the Lleweni family, and then to supplement his statement with a further note of my own. Dwnn, after explaining that Adam de Saltzburg (youngest), son of the Duke of Bavaria, had come over to England, and having married Joyce, daughter of Sir William Pompet, had by her a son, Alexander, who was father of Thomas ; and he of John, who died at Denbigh in the year 1520 ; then he . proceeds to set out the succeeding descents from this John Salis- bury, who was thus third in descent from Adam, as follows :
"1. Henry Salisbury (harri Dhu), who married Nest, daughter of Cynwrig Sais.
" 2. William Salisbury (M. P. for Leominster), who married Margaret, daughter of Philip Fychton.
"3. Henry Salisbury, who married Anne, daughter of John Curtis.
"4. Thomas Salisbury (Hen), who married Elizabeth, daughter of Jenkyn Done.
" The last-named had four sons-viz .: Thomas (who continued the line at Lleweni), Henry (who founded the Llanrhaiadr branch), John (who founded the Bachymbyd branch), and Robert (who founded the Llanrwst branch).
" The second son,
" Henry Salisbury, married Margaret, daughter of Gryffyd ab Rhys, and had a son and successor,
"Henry Salisbury (Goch), who married for his second wife Liws, daughter of Harri ab Shon, up Gruffydd, and they had a son,
" David Salisbury (always alluded to as of Llanberis), who married Marsley, daughter of Ivan Lloyd, and they had : William, John, Robert, Cadwalader, Simnwt, Elizabeth, and Liws. So far on the authority of Dwnn. Then follows what I call the tradi- tionary evidence which has been accepted as true by those who have followed the lines of Henry Salisbury Goch.
" The David Salisbury above mentioned, though designated as of Llanberis. was undoubtedly lineal male representative of the Llanrhaiadr branch of his family, and his eldest son, William, had a son Robert, who emigrated to America, who in the course of nature would become head of the family in this branch. He is supposed to be the Robert Salsbrie referred to by Sir Thomas Salis- bury (the second Bart. of Lleweni) in a letter he wrote to his uncle,
487
HISTORY OF KINGSTON.
John Maynard, in which he says : ' I might be taxed with a rash act of folly should I now leave my country, being the only hope of the direct line of my house, having no more a hopeful successor, should it please God to call for me, than Robert Salsbrie, one whose dissolute life hath made a scorn to his country.' If this supposition is well based, this Robert would also, of course, have been heir to the Lleweni estate if Sir Thomas had not had children of his own to succeed him, but not to the baronetey ; for that was conferred upon Sir Henry Salisbury very long after the Llanrhaiadr branch had broken away from the parent stem. The fourth son of David, Cadwalader, married his kinswoman, Jane Salisbury, of Llanaantfaid-Glan, Conway, and he had by her a son, Sylvester, who followed the sea and eventually settled in America."
Sylvester came over to this country as captain of a portion of the troops, in 1664, in the English expedition under the command of Sir Richard Nicolls. He resided for a time on Long Island and also in New York. He was also commandant of the garrison at Albany for several years. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Pieter Cornelis Beeck and Aaltje Williams. He died in 1680.
His son Francis, in 1693, married Maria, daughter of Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek, and died in 1756. He settled in Caat- skill, and there left descendants. His son Sylvester came to Kings- ton and commanded the Kingston troop of Light Horse in the Revolution.
Maryhem, the daughter of Sylvester the elder, on the 15th of May, 1701, married Jacob Marius Groen, as before stated in this chapter.

The precise time of his arrival in this country is not known, but he came in the military service of the Dutch West India Company, and was lieutenant "in the company of his noble Honor the Director General."
