of these lands received from his father, carefully established. Francis immediately constructed a temporary house, and in 1680 built a large barn, which still remains in good preservation. In 1705 he erected a large grey sandstone mansion, two stories in height, with a wing extending forty feet from the west wall, for the use of his servants, who were mostly negro slaves. This residence is still in the possession of the family, and the late General William Salisbury preserved many valuable relics brought from England in 1664 by his ancestor, Capt. Sylvester. Among them are a portrait by Holbein, the Court artist, of Anne Boleyn, one of the eight wives of Henry VIII, a coat of arms, carved in solid oak, two swords of that period, and many interesting papers and documents.
