Jacob Salls

     Jacob Salls was born on 16 February 1759 at Salisbury, Litchfield Co, Connecticut.¹ He was the son of Isaac Salls and Hannah Hawley. Jacob Salls was baptized on 21 August 1770 at New Canaan, Columbia Co, New York.² He married Margaret Taylor circa 1779 at Canaan, Columbia Co, New York; Margaret Taylor was a sister to Hannah Taylor, who married Solomon Curtis about 1783. They were also in the Canaan area and came to Clarenceville. In 1779, the Salls were still of Canaan so it is likely the marriage occurred there or the Stockbridge, MA area.³ Jacob Salls married Rebecca (?) after 1798. Jacob Salls died on 21 December 1839 at Dunham, Missisquoi Co, Quebec, at age 80; Even though Rev. Townsend officiated over the burial, Jacob was said to be of Dunham, so this writer believes his death occurred there.⁴ He was buried on 24 December 1839 at St George's Anglican Cemetery, Clarenceville, Missisquoi Co, Quebec.^4,5
