Saltonstall, Sir Richard (sôl`tənstôl), 1586–1658, early English colonist in Massachusetts. Of a prominent Yorkshire family (he was knighted in 1618), Saltonstall became a member and was appointed an assistant of the Massachusetts Bay Company in 1629. With his five children he accompanied John Winthrop (1588–1649) to America in 1630 and was a founder of Watertown, Mass. In 1631 he returned to England, where he helped secure the grant at the mouth of the Connecticut River that led to the settlement of Saybrook. How to thank TFD for its existence?
