First Generation
1.
Henry SALISBURY, son of John Salisbury and Ursula Stanley, was
born about 1582 of Llewenny, Denbighshire, Wales. He died on 2 Aug 1632
in Llewenny, Denbighshire, Wales. He was buried in Whitechurch, Denbighshire,
Wales. Henry Salusbury was created a baronet in 1619, and in 1628 was made
High Sheriff. “He does not seem to have taken much interest in public affairs.
He was probably wise in this, for Charles the First was king, and was fast
undermining the constitution of the country, and hastening fortuitously
to that scafford at Whiltehall, which witnessed his terrible end. Sir Henry
was far away from the seat of anarchy, and quietly awaited in his Welsh
home the chapter of events.”

The same source quotes Dr. Johnson, who visited Lleweni in 1774, and
described the family portraits: “Sir Henry, the first Baronet, sitting
in his shirt, head naked, red mantle over one arm, red breches with points
at the knees, purple stockings, slippers rich in lace, seated at a balcony,
small whiskers, bushy beard.”
Henry married Hester MIDDLETON, daughter of Thomas MIDDLETON
and Elizabeth DANVERS. Hester was born about 1587 of Chirk Castle, Denbighshire,
Wales. She died on 26 Jan 1614. She was buried in Stansted, Montfichet,
Essex, England.
