 England
The ancestors of the bearers of the Sallfarde family name are thought have lived in ancient Anglo-Saxon England. They were first found at the estate of Salford which had three early locations in England including Lancashire, Oxford and Bedfordshire. Early Origins of the Sallfarde familyThe surname Sallfarde was first found in Bedfordshire in the parish of Salford.

Migration of the Sallfarde familySearching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Sallfarde or a variant listed above: John, Robert and Mary Salford who settled in Virginia in 1611; nine years before the "Mayflower"; John and Sarah Salford settled in Virginia in 1623..
