my g g grandmother was Angeline Salisbury is she a direct descendant of william 1622 ?

Question

I have the following : Angeline Salisbury 1855 daughter of David John Salisbury 1815: David Salisbury 1775: William Salisbury 1747: William Salisbury 1710: Joseph Salisbury 1675:William Salisbury 1622.  Is this correct ?

Answer 1

I have added a link to Angeline's profile and the Rhode Island tag.

It looks like some duplicate profiles have been created:

• for William Salisbury-2904 and William Salisbury-1574
• for his wife Hannah (Maxwell-17813 and Matlack-321: it looks as if Maxwell may have been her married name from a different marriage, not her last name at birth, but this needs to be checked)

On a quick look you need to focus particularly on finding good sourcing for the family relationships currently shown for William Salisbury-2903 and David Salisbury-2902. But I expect you know that.

Judy,

David's birth and death records are on familysearch and both name his parents as William an Elizabeth.  You should look for census or other records to eliminate the chance that there is more than one William/Elizabeth Salisbury in RI around 1775 of childbearing age.

In any case, I'm also a descendant of William (1622).  Glad to meet you cousin.
