Roger Eastman was NOT born in Wales and there is no place called "Wales, England." That piece of fiction originates from page 7 in Rix's book "History and Genealogy of the Eastman Family in America" printed in 1901. However, on page 8 Rix contradicts himself and says that Roger Eastman was born in England.
In the 1920s Roger Eastman's original christening record was found in the chuch of Downton, a small village just outside Salisbury, England. The same church contains christening and/or marriage records of several other passengers on the same ship that transported Roger to Salisbury, Massachusetts. It appears that all the passengers on board the ship Confidence in 1638 were from the Salisbury area.
