- Occupation: Village Herdsman in Swansea
Notes:
This is not the John Salisbury that was the son of Sir John Salisbury and Ursula Stanley as this man was killed in 1620.
It is said that the Salisbury family of Denbigshire, Wales were given special appointments due to their good standing with the Tudor Monarchs. However that does not relate to this family.
John Salisbury was the village herdsman in Swansea Mass.
Both John and William were killed by Indians in Swansea, Massachusetts, Colonial America during the King Phillips War.
John is likely the one that fired the first shot, wounding the chief's son, sparking retaliation.
The Often mistaken lineage is as follows:
Sir John Salusbury was the 2nd son of John Salusbury of Lleweni and Katherine daughter of Tudor ap Robert of Berrain. He married Ursula Stanley, the illegitimate daughter of Henry Stanley, 4th Earl of Derby and Jane Halsall, in 1586. Their first child, Jane, was born a year later. The couple went on to have ten children, of which five survived to adulthood; four daughters and one son, Henry Salusbury, who succeeded him and was created 1st Baronet Salusbury.
