HISTORY OF THE NAME: In Family Names And Their Story by S. Baring-Gould, M.A. and published in London in 1910, we learn that the names Salman, Salmon, Salmonds were derived from the name SOLOMON. Edward MacLysaght MA DLITT MRIA in The Surnames of Ireland published by the Irish University Press writes that Salmon, Sammon in Connacht is an Anglicization, by translation of Ó Bradáin, so used. Sammon is the variant in use in Co. Clare. Salmon is also a name of English origin, and as such it is fairly numerous in the sixteenth century which retains the earlier form Bradden in Donegal and Leitrim. The English name Fisher is also used occasionally. From A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames with Special American Instances by the late Charles Wareing Bardsley, revised for the press by his widow and published in Baltimore by the Genealogical Publishing Company, 1967: Salman, Salmon, Salmond—Bapt. ‘The son of Jewish Solomon,’ these forms represent families of English descent, Solomon representing modern immigrations. Of course the London Directory has several Salamons, undoubtedly Jewish, but, speaking generally, our Salomans, Salamans, Salemans, Salmons, Salmans, Salmonds, Sammons, and Sammonds, are of English extraction. Salamone was an old Scots spelling of Solomon, a once popular forename and Salmonde (pron. Salmon) is an old surname in Perthshire still existing. [The Surnames of Scotland Their Origin, Meaning and History by George F. Black, Ph.D.) English Wills of Colonial Families by Noel Currier-Briggs, published 1972 lists John SALMON, Esq. As signing an "Inquisition Post Mortem" (translated from the Latin) taken after the death of Edward CHADWELL, of Chipping Norton, Oxon, January 1, 1630. And May 6, 1617 in Norfolk, Virginia, one of the witnesses for Prudence Freeman’s will is Thomas SAMMON. According to Garroll Salmons in The Salmons Heritage, printed in 1983: "The surnames Salmon, Salman, Salmons, and Sammons are English and/or French. It is said that these names, meaning peaceful, descended from Solomon, the colorful Hebrew king of Israel, in the ninth century B.C.... The Salmonds family can be traced in Scotland and England back to the 1300 hundreds, when a member of the family was knighted. The Coat-of-Arms is divided in two red over black by a chevron patterned in blue and silver. The chevron accompanied above by two gold lions, each holding between its paws a silver coin charged with an ermine spot and below a gold cinquefoil strewn with ermine spots. Above the shield and helmet is the crest in which a lion issuing from a row of six gold palisades placed upon a green mound." In the early 1700s there were several Salmon and Sammon families residing in New York; these were of Dutch extraction and it is doubtful that any of our Sammon(s)/Salmon ancestors were connected to these New York families. However, it is always a possibility that there is a connection; one can’t take anything for granted in genealogical research! Info From Hope Coslett Pees Notes

This Contents Page introduces you to many different lines of Salmon/Sammons Families. I started the page with my Sammons line beginning with George Sammons, the son of Newit Sammons and have found many cousins who are direct descendants of Newit. Then as other researchers found the page, their information was added and the submitter listed on the bottom of the pages. Most of the information is documented with either transcriptions or scanned Courthouse Records, such as Land Patents, Land Deeds, Marriage Records, Divorce Records, Wills, and Court Records, along with Census Reports and any other proof found. But then there are the ones that we don't know exactly who they belong to, all we can do is speculate, so we place them on the page in hope that someone has found them in their research and can lead us to their correct place. We would be happy if someone has clues or info to help us over our brickwalls. Without the Revolutionary War Info and other info William 'Bill Stewart had about Newit, that he so generously shared with me, I would never have went on to find a lot of other information about Newit. By me having a copy of George Sammons Bible with Newit listed as his father, that was the tie that closed the gap for us by connecting Edmund and George as brothers. To this day, with all the documents found about Newit, I have not connected James III as Newit's father. It is speculation and may never be proven, since Newit wasn't listed in James III's Will. I appreciate SO much the ones who have shared their info, and like I've always said, "This page is for ALL my *Cousins* too.!!! ALL Salmon/Salmons/Samon/Samons/Sammon/Sammons researchers are welcome to send me their info or queries to be placed on the page. We can all study it out, and work together to help each other. Thanks much, Sincerely, Charlotte Ramsey
