Notes

...The Salisbury family were early inhabitants of Maryland. As early as 1671 a William Salisbury had land surveyed for him for a 200 acre plantation called "Falmouth". It was located in Kent County, from which later Queen Anne's County was formed (1706). The County was named for Queen Anne who had begun her reign in 1702. The area is located along the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay. The original inhabitants of the area were Matapeake, Ozinie, and Monoponson Choptank Indians. in the beginning, land was purchased from the Indians, and for some time the relationship was good between the two cultures. The major crop used as a form of barter in the early days was tobacco. Most of the settlers in Colonial Maryland were from the British Isles and came as servants or convicts. Ship Captains brought many immigrants over under the "headright system" where there was an exchange of land in return for transportation of the settlers. This method of obtaining land was in effect until 1683, after which land could be acquired only by purchase.
...William Salisbury was the immigrant ancestor for our line it is believed. One of his sons was James who was born about 1705 in Queen Anne's County, The Vestry Proceedings and Records of Births, Deaths and Marriages for St. Luke's Parish, Church Hill, Queen Anne's County, Maryland, records the marriage of James Salisbury to Frances Hawkins on August 4, 1730. Births of two of their sons, James and John are also recorded in the Parish Records. Many records for the Salisbury and Hawkins families were included. Other children were born to James and Frances, but not found in St. Luke's. in the April 11, 1751 Vestry meeting, James Salisbury gave possession of Pew #30 to John Atkinson. It is likely this was when James moved to North Carolina.
...In the September court for Pasquotank County, North Carolina, Thomas Taylor presiding, was recorded the will for James Salisbery, planter who had died August 16, 1758. In his will he named his daughters Elizabeth and Frances, and sons James, John, Joseph and William. His wife Frances was not named and so it is assumed she had died earlier....After the death of James, the family began to migrate from North Carolina, through Virginia and into Southwestern Pennsylvania. By 1783, William Salisbury, son of James is found in the tax list of Springhill Township, Westmoreland County (now Fayette County). Again in 1789 and in the 1790 Federal Census, William Salisbury was listed in Georges Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
...By 1787, James Colvin was in this Township and also in the 1790 Federal Census for Fayette County. He had married William Salisbury's sister, Frances, date and place unknown. The families migrated again to Kentucky and some to Ohio as William's brother John made oath in 1803 in Mason County, Kentucky that James Colvin, Jr. was over the age of twenty one and was also one of the witnesses to the Consent of Lewis Gidding that James Colvin had permission to marry his daughter Catron, April 11, 1803
