- !SOURCE: Email from Patra Anne Hepworth (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 6 Feb 2007. Cites "The Family of Lemuel Marsh and Rosanna Warner," in particular the section on David Salisbury (http://www.ninetravelers.com/#David). Patra writes:
David married (2) Sarah, but she was not the mother of all of his children, as is evidenced in David's deeds. Sarah first appeared in the deeds in the mid 1770's; however, David did not sell any land up until that time to show the name of a wife releasing her dower rights. Sarah was likely the mother of at least two of his children as is evidenced in the two sons under 16 shown in the 1790 census (if they were not grandchildren).Where David named a son Vial, it is most probable that one of his wives was a Vial. There was a Constant Vial living in Glocester; whether or not the Sarah Vial that was Constant's sister was married to David or not is still a guess. There were Vials living over into Massachusetts close to the border as well. Anne Salisbury has a theory that both of David's wives were named Sarah, one being a Sarah Vial and one a Sarah Atwell where David's son, Russell, named a son Atwell, as did David's grandson, John. At least three of David's sons named girls Sarah early in their families. Where David's son, John, named a son, Smith Hamilton, he could have had grandparents by those names. David named a son Russell, and two or three of his sons named children, Russell, so perhaps one of his wives was a Russell.
