In Richard's will (posted here ), it is clear that daughter Ann was married to John Harvie, with their son being Richard Harvie. The link here for Ann Saltonstall goes to a page that indicates that Vincent Harvey was her husband, AND this page indicates their are no sources. John Harvie should be listed there as her husband with the will of Richard Saltonstall as proof.

Here is a book reference for the will: "More about Stifford and Its Neighbourhood, Past and Present..." Page 111, https://www.google.com/books/edition/More_about_Stifford_and_Its_Neighbourhoo/z3wuAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1

Saltonstall-102 and Saltonstall-32 appear to represent the same person because: The 102 record I created picked up some bad dates from Familysearch but is the same as 32, which is by far the better record. Someone pre-1500 certified could attach him to a more ancient set of lines no doubt.
