From these entries in the records [of Glocester and Smithfield, RI] and David's later business dealings with Obadiah Ballou (Jr.), David was surely a son of Jonathan Salisbury and Sarah Whipple, born after Jonathan's death about 1738/39. Sarah was likely overcome with other worries that kept her from recording David's birth in the town records. Edward Jr., a son of Edward, later witnessed some of David's deeds in Glocester, as well as evidence that sons and cousins from both families appeared on records in western New York. It is also interesting that two of the three children David's mother had by Obadiah Ballou died in the same area in western New York that the Salisburys went to.A very special thanks goes to Anne Salisbury for providing a copy of the complete travel journal of Hyrum Salisbury, a grandson of David's. The proof that DAVID SALISBURY WAS a brother to Edward and THE SON OF JONATHAN SALISBURY AND SARAH WHIPPLE was shown in that book when Hyrum visited his family in western New York. He spoke of visiting his "old Uncle Edward" there.
