My ancestor, Captain Sylvester Salisbury, brought to New York colony about 1675, a portrait said to be a Holbein of Anne Boleyn. The painting is known to have hung in the Salisbury family home until at least the early 1900s. Do you know anything about this painting and/or its authenticity?

I am a descendant. I have heard the painting and two engraved swords remain in the family . I do not know where. I have visited Salisbury Manor in Leeds, N.Y built by son Francis. I grew up
Hearing about it. The name Salisbury was changed from the Duke de Salzburg when he moved to Wales after being rewarded with much land by William the Conqueror after a.successful crusade. The castle in Denbigshire, Wales is a.ruin now and was called Llewellyn.
