![Show Contents]() Sal History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The ancestors of the name Sal date back to the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Sal family lived in the county of Cheshire, where they held the estate of Sale. The surname Sal was originally derived form the Old English word soel which refers to a hall. In this case the original bearers of the surname Sal were either servants at the hall or resided near a dining hall. 1 Early Origins of the Sal familyThe surname Sal was first found in Cheshire but the family can be found throughout ancient Britain in early years. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 list Robert a la Sale. Placita de Quo Warranto, temp. Edward I-III lists Nicholas de la Sale, temp. 20 Edward I and William de la Sale. Robert de la Sale was Bailiff of Norwich in 1327. 2 "About the time of Edward I., Thomas, son of William De la Sale, held twelve acres of land in Ickleford, Hertfordshire. According to Cussans, the Hertfordshire Sales hailed from Scotland nearly two centuries ago, and he mentions Francis Sale, a gentleman who was married at Ashwell in 1694." 3 Early History of the Sal familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Sal research.

| Sal migration to the United States | + |
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Sal or a variant listed above:
