Biography

William SALLIER was born in 1630 in France. He died about 1700 in Brookhaven, New York. William resided in 1655 in Long Island, New York. He immigrated about 1655 to Massachusetts.

All of the information on William Sallier and his immediate descendants is based on "TRADITIONAL" genealogy and is undocumented. This includes his wife's mother being Mary Dayton. This information was received from another party several years ago and I have made no attempt to verify any of this early information. As has been pointed out to me, there is no proof that William Sallier came from directly France. It is possible that he was born in the colonies rather than having immigrated from France. This report is simply being provided to be used as a starting point for your own research. Please do not rely on the accuracy of the information unless sources are cited.

William married Sarah DAVIS daughter of Fulke DAVIS and Mary DAYTON about 1655. Sarah was born about 1630, before her father Fulke is recorded being in Colonial America; her birth location is unknown. She died about 1700.

In Brookhaven town records dated 25 Oct 1671, Fulke Davis deeds to his "sonn in law william Sallire of Southold" land in Setauket originally purchased from David Lane. This record establishes that William and Sarah Davis were married by that date.

They had the following children:

1. Charles SALLIER
2. William SALLIER

Salyer family are recorded in four churches in Norwich, Norfolk England between 1609 and 1639 as per film held by the LDS Genealogy Library Salt Lake, UT., spelled Salyer, Sallyer. William Salyer and his wife Sarah Davis moved from Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York to Jamaica, Queens County, New York in the year of 1685 Where her father Foulk Davis and his family lived.....Ref: Jamaica, Queens Town Records By: Frost.
