SALMON-SAMMONS NOTES
We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies. These spirits form our lives, and they may reveal themselves in mere trivialitiesa quirk of speech, a way of folding a shirt. WOMENFOLKS GROWING UP DOWN SOUTH by Shirley Abbott.
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 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, SalmondBapt. The son of Solomon, these forms represent families of English descent, Solomon representing modern Jewish 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 Freemans 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 cant take anything for granted in genealogical research!
There were a few men by the name of Salmons who were in the colonies in the mid 1600s. Virginia and Maryland seems to be where the largest concentration of Salmon/Sammon men were listed in the early colonial records, with several families settling along the mouth of the James and York Rivers of Virginia.
James Cittie (later Jamestown) was the first English settlement in the area of the James River. This settlement was named after King James I and the ground on which it was built was called Paspahegh by the local Indians; it was founded in April of 1607 by slightly more than one hundred colonists. "By far the greater number of these settlers were bond servants, men whose personal or family debts in England caused them to be sold into indentured servitude and transported thousands of miles across an uncharted ocean where they were to live in penury and misery. [The South by B. C. Hall and C. T. Wood, Scribner Publishers, 1995 copyright]
By the late 1600s and early 1700s there were several Salmon/Sammon males listed as living in Barbados. Although Barbados has been an independent sovereign state since November 30, 1966, it was earlier one of the many western colonies controlled by Britain. G. A. Moriarty, Jr. Writes that there was a considerable genealogical significance between Barbados and American colonies.
"During a large part of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the connection between New England and Virginia with Barbados was extremely close. . . . The tyranny of the Massachusetts theocracy drove many of her finest citizens who adhered to the Church of England to seek refuge among the congenial and cultivated planters of the southern island."
In The First Republic in America, the writer mentions several deaths which took place while sailing the "Islands" to New England. They were sailing on the Neptune which left England with about 180 emigrants, and reached Virginia with about 150. "Salmon, that he died at sea in his voyage, but neither gives the place of his death. Pory states that he died in Canada; Baker, and his widow, Lady De La Warr, that he died in Virginia. Porchase says: [The ship] departing from the Azores, they were long troubled with contrary winds, in which time many fell sick, thirtie died, one of which was that honourable Lord of noble memory. The rest refreshed themselves on that coast of New England, with fish, fowle, wood and water, and after sixteen weeks spent at sea, arrived in Virginia, about the 5th of August seven (or three) weeks after the lord governors death."
The Treasurer left England in May and arrived in Virginia soon after the Neptune. These two ships were "set out at the charge of the Right Honorable the Lord Laware, his noble associates, and some other private adventurers." They are said to have "brought a most pestilent disease (called the Bloody flux; i.e., cholera) which infected almost all the whole colony. "That diseazse, notwithstanding all our former afflictions, were never known before amongst us."
ENGLAND, MAY 8, 1619 - JULY 8, 1620:
. . . Within less than a week after the matter of the Treasurer in Virginia had been quieted, the Garland arrived from the Somers Islands with numerous letters. The governor, Nathaniel Butler, sent two to Sir Nathaniel Rich and one each to the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Southampton, and the governor (Sir Thomas Smythe) and company of the Somers Islands; Miles Kendall wrote to Sir Nathaniel Rich and Sir Edwin Sandys; John Salmon to Thomas Grimsditch, and John Dutton to the Earl of Warwick. All of these letters mentioned the Treasurer as then being in the Somers Islands; but the matter was not reported to the Privy Council, or to the Spanish agent, by Sir Thomas Smythe, the governor of the Somers Islands Company.
March 22. 1618. East India court. "Alderman Johnson desiring to borrow four minions for the use of the Virginia Company, acknowledged that they owe for four demiculverins which have been long due. If they may have these both Mr. Governor (Sir Thomas Smythe) and himself will use the best means to procure satisfaction for the old from the Virginia Companyand undertake for the satisfying of these four. Ordered that Mr. Salmon deliver them four minions, if this company have any to spare."
From Quit Rent records, tax records, censuses, marriage and birth records, it has been determined that our particular Sammon ancestor, one JAMES SAMMON(S), resided for a time in Norfolk County, Virginia. There are church records in Caroline County and Lunenburg County, Virginia indicating that he and his family resided there.

The record of the following John Sammon may or may not be in our Sammon genealogy, however it is an interesting bit of history.

THE LIST OF TITHES FOR THE YEARS 1748, 1749, 1750 AND 1751 FOR LUNENBURG COUNTY, VIRGINIA (these embrace the entire area of ancient Lunenburg. In other words, these lists embrace the census of tithables of the area which is now embraced in whole or in part in eleven counties. These counties are Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Charlotte, Halifax, Pittsylvania, henry, Patrick, Franklin, Campbell, Bedford and Appomattox.)
The designation of the precincts in this county indicates that the most thickly populated area of Lunenburg County at that time was that section north of Roanoke River westward to Falling Creek, and probably the most thickly settled part of that territory was that lying upon the watershed of Meherrin River.

DOWELL-SALMON-BROCKMAN
Henry Brockman was thought to be son of Thomas Brockman of the Barbados and he married REBECCA SALMON. He had one son, Samuel, of King and Queen, Spotsylvania and Orange Counties, who died in 1766. His will is in the Orange County records.
Samuels son, William, whose wifes name was Betty Mason, lived on Proddys Creek in Albemarle County where he had large holdings not far from the present site of Bleak Hill. He also had one of the first mills erected in that section. He and his brother, Samuel of Orange County, were willed 300 acres in Albemarle, which they sold. A codicil of this will of the first Samuel Brockman was witnessed by James Madison.
Henry Brockman was brought to St. Marie County, Md., before 1674 by a Capt. John Jourdaine. For services to the captain he was given 50 acres of land, which he sold to Thomas Salmon.
William Brockman died in 1809 and in his will he left a church on his land, which was the predecessor of the present Priddys Creek Church, to the congregation. One of Williams sisters, Rachael, married John Rogers, and she was a widow by 1762.
Samuel Brockman, son of William who lived on Priddys Creek, married Ann Sims, and they had ten children. The oldest of these Richard Sims Brockman, was a witness to President James Madisons will. His third son was Blueford Brockman who married his first cousin Elizabeth Catteron on Dec. 22, 1822.

SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ISLE OF WIGHT, VIRGINIA
Some early place names are mentioned in the act appointing "Viewers of Tobacco" for the county in 1639-40. From Lawnes Creek to Castle Creek the viewers were to be William Barnett and Richard Jackson; from Castle Creek to the Alps, William Lawson, Justinian Cooper, Henry King and William Ellis; from the Alps to Basses Choice and the Indian Field, Peter Hull, Lawrence Ward and John Spackman; from the Indian Field to Levy Neck and so on both sides of the creek, Arthur Smith, Joseph Cobb and Robert Byde; from Redd Point to the head of Pagan Point Creek, Joseph Salmon, John Miles and George Fawdon; from Hamstead Point to Mr. Robert Pitts, John Lewis, William Crannage and William Lewis.
From Lawnes Creek to Warrascoyak Creek on the southward side of the river, being within the County of Warrascoyak, in 1534, there were 522 persons, and 4,914 in Virginia.
The county runs southeasterly along the James River from Lawnes Creek to the Nansemond county line for about eighteen miles. Between its shore and the river channel are hundreds of acres of oyster planting grounds rented out by the state. Lawnes Creek forms the northwest boundary between this county and Surry for about seven miles, and it is navigable for five miles for vessels drawing five feet of water. Pagan River, up to Smithfield, is navigable for vessels drawing ten feet of water. At Smithfield the river separates into two branches, one penetrating northwesterly, called Smithfield Creek, and the other, called Cypress Creek, flows in from the southeast and rises in Cypress swamp. The Blackwater River forms the countys southwestern boundary and separates this county from Southampton.
The county has an area of about 350 square miles. There is a plateau lying a little wet of Bethel Church and from there, on one side, the land dips to the northeast. From the other side it dips to the northwest and west. On one side the water, by many swamps and creeks, flows to the James River, and on the other side it flows to the Blackwater and from thence to Albermarle Sound.
In 1732, a portion of the southwestern part of the county was added to Brunswick County, and in 1748 Southampton was carved out of that portion of the county which lay west of the Blackwater River. That part of the county lying west of the Blackwater had been called Nottoway Parish since 1734.
LAND GRANTS IN SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ISLE OF WIGHT 1628-1674
HUMPHREY SCOWNE, 10 acres, 16 Sept. 1636, on S. Side of Nansemond River between the land of Joseph Sammond and John Gerry. 50 acres for his own per. Adv. And 650 for trans. 1 servt.

GEORGIA AND GEORGIANS
JABUS ZACK SALMON
Now serving as receiver of taxes for Floyd County, Jabus Zack Salmon has had a career which well exemplifies the unconquerable spirit of man in the face of adversities. He has been a hard worker all his life, was connected with the railway service for several years, and until sustaining an injury which incapacitated him for further active work. He was disabled but undefeated in his determination, and has since bravely gone ahead, making his service worth while to different companies and to the public, and providing for home and family. He was elected to his present office on the democratic ticket in November, 1914 and has shown a splendid efficiency in conducting the office.
Jabus Zack Salmon was born within the Rome district of Floyd County. His parents were John W. P. And Elizabeth (Floyd) Salmon, also natives of Floyd County. Grandfather Zack Floyd Salmon was a native of South Carolina and one of the early settlers in Northern Georgia, having come to Floyd County during the early 40s when about twenty years of age. He was a farmer and a slave owner before the war, and due to his long service as justice of the peace was familiarly known as Squire Salmon. The maternal grandfather was Jabus Floyd, also a native of Floyd County, and never a resident in any other community. He was likewise a farmer and planter. John W. P. Salmon was born and reared and spent his life on a Floyd County farm. He was a soldier throughout the entire war between the states, and a member of Company A of the Eighth Georgia Battalion, and the record of that command is his individual record of service as a soldier. He saw many of the hardships of war and participated in many battles. After the close of hostilities he returned to civil pursuits as a farmer and so continued until his death. He and his wife were the parents of four children: Eli Edward Salmon was a conductor and was killed while on duty with the Southern Railway at Dalton in August 1913, at the age of forty-three; Thomas King Salmon died at Rome in June 1906 at the age of twenty-nine; and Homer L. Salmon is a farmer in Floyd County.
J. Zack Salmon acquired a substantial education in the common schools, but at the age of eighteen took up life on his own account. He was a farmer until 1904, and on February 6th of that year entered the employ of the Southern Railway as a brakeman. In 1906 his efficiency caused his promotion to freight conductor, and he was on duty in that capacity in march 1907 when he was severely injured. As a result of the injury his left leg was amputated above the knee, and that of course ended his active career as a railroad man. As soon as he recovered he found work with the Etowah Coal Company at Rome as bookkeeper and later was employed as office man and bookkeeper for the O. D. Minge & Son Coal Company and the M. L. Fisher Coal Company. In this way he made himself useful until his election as receiver of taxes.
Mr. Salmon is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and he and his wife are active members of the DeSoto Park Baptist Church, in which for two years he served as Sunday School superintendent. On July 17, 1897, at Rome, Mr. Salmon married Mary Gattes, daughter of Charles M. And Jennie (Hunt) Gattes. Her father was born in Rome, of a pioneer family in this part of North Georgia, and her mother is still living in that city. Of the four children born to Mr. And Mrs. Salmon two died unnamed, while Elizabeth died at the age of two years. The only one now living is Robert Glenn, who was born in Atlanta June 18, 1904, and was named in honor of an uncle who was killed while serving as lieutenant in the Confederate army during the Battle of Atlanta. Mr. Salmon is an active democrat, and as the brief record of his life indicates is a man of unusually optimistic disposition, always good natured and jolly, and in spite of his trials and afflictions has shown courage and cheerfulness in all his relations with life.

Unfortunately, I did not note the source for the following information.
CATALINA BENSON born August 24, 1688, married JACOB SAMMON May 17, 1706. They had twelve children.
Catalina was the daughter of JOHANNES BENSON and ELIZABETH VAN DEUSEN.
The Bensons lived for a time in Amsterdam. Then in Harlem; then Albany as early as 1654.
Johannes Bensons father was Dirck Bensingh who was not a Hollander but a Swede, according to the tradition in the family, as old Lawrence Benson used to say; and this is borne out by the original form of the name. Perhaps, to be more exact, Dirck was a Dane. We have traced him from Groningen to Amsterdam, and thither, with his wife, Catalina Berck, to New Amsterdam. Here he bought a house and lot near the fort, August 1649, and the next year another on Broadway.

HISTORY OF ROCK COUNTY, WISCONSIN
Frank J. Sammon, one of the progressive and public spirited citizens of Avon township, was born in Winnebago county, Illinois, on July 10, 1855, to Timothy and Catherine (Dunn) Sammon. They were sturdy Irish people whose yearning for a home in a free country brought them to the United States in an early day, believing that a good opportunity for accumulating a fortune lay before them. They set sail for America, and on their arrival, first located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but remained there only a short time, when they decided to move west. They next settled in Cook county, Illinois, where they made their home for several years. Their hearts being set upon a farm home, however, they found their ideal place in Avon township, Rock county, Wisconsin, and very soon located there and established a home for themselves and family. They first came to Avon in 1856, where they lived the remainder of their lives; Father Sammon died in 1878, Mother Sammon surviving him until 1896, when she, too, passed away, leaving her children to mourn her loss.
Frank J. Received a common school education in the district schools of the township, and has always lived on the old homestead, which is now owned by himself, his sister Julia and brother William, they, too, having always lived there since birth. Besides general farming, Mr. Sammon takes great pride in raising and breeding fine stock. He has a large herd of Red Poled cattle and his hogs are the Poland-China breed. He is a Democrat in politics and has held a number of local offices of trust, among them being that of overseer of highways, which he held for some four years, and was clerk of the school board for twenty-two years. Mr. Sammon is also a member of Avon Camp No. 1209, Modern Woodmen of America. He is a man of liberal views on all matters, and is ever ready to aid in any pursuit tending to the betterment of the community.
William Sammon, brother of Frank, was born in the state of Pennsylvania, June 25, 1835. He came west with his parents when they settled in Wisconsin, and has always resided on the homestead. He is the joing owner of 100 acres of land, fifty acres of it being under cultivation, the balance being in pasture. He is the eldest of a family of eight children, seven of whom are still living.
1871 Mr. Sammon and Miss Bridget Cummins were united in marriage; Mrs. Sammon died in1875, leaving one child, Sara, who is now the wife of William Clark.

MEMORIAL RECORD OF ALABAMA
Volume I
THE REPRINT COMPANY, PUBLISHERS
SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA
1976
WILLIAM F. SAMMONS, farmer and general business man of Charlton, Ala., was born in Darlington District, South Carolina October 31, 1845. He is a son of James and Sarah (Hatchell) Sammons, the former of whom was born in Virginia in 1808. He removed with his parents to South Carolina when he was very young, where he had the poorest kind of educational advantages, school houses being extremely rare in South
Carolina at that early day. He was married in Darlington district in 18{illegible}7, lived in South Carolina as a farmer until 1854, when he removed to Alabama, settling in Dale county near the town of Charlton, and building the first farm house in that part of Dale county. He proceeded to clear up the farm he purchased, and so improved it as to have the reputation of having one of the best farms in the county, and of being one of the model and progressive farmers. He was an active and leading citizen, and was of such intellectual ability that his opinion on public and private affairs was much sought after. In politics he was a democrat, and usually voted that partys ticket. His death occurred in 1872. The mother of our subject was born in Virginia in 1820, had limited education advantages, and married when she was seventeen years old, became the mother of eight children, six of whom now survive, and all of the survivors live in Dale county.
