Hi, Patricia. I just read your message. My cousin, Richard Phillips, is in the process of researching my mother's side of the family. This is what he recently e-mailed me:I have now traced the Salls family back to Salisbury,England, near Stonehenge, where Isaac Salls was born around 1730, eight generations ago. He received land
grants in New York, probably from the king, and was chased out of the country for being a loyalist. He traveled by British boat from Whitehall to Canada,where he founded the town of Clarenceville, Quebec.Isaac had five sons,including Hix Salls, who declined to leave with him. He stayed in Chatham, New York,got married, then moved to Vermont near Rutland, then near Middlebury, before finally moving to Canada in 1795. So the family legend about the Salls being
Green Mountain Boys may yet prove true. One of Hix's sons, named Isaac, after his father, married a fullblood Mohican named Betsy. She bore him eight children, including Hix Salls III (Hix II was in
another lineage). Hix III (1805-1857)married Mary Permelia Curtis (1805-1873) of Noyan, Quebec. They are the ones who moved to Stockholm around 1830 and are buried in Brookdale Cemetery. So Hattie Salls (our great-grandmother)was one-eighth Indian, and we are one-sixty-fourth. This is a great start and may relate to you. My cousin called tonight. He is researching the Curtis family of St. Lawrence Co.
