Bio: Alt name spellings: Rodger Eastman/Roger Easman

Before there was a Salisbury and Amesbury, the name of the town was Colchester:

"This town, bordered by the Merrimack River and the Atlantic Ocean, originally named Colchester, was incorporated as Salisbury in 1640. Salisbury grew over time based on upland farms, salt marsh estuaries, building boats along the river, and its position on a major overland trade route to the north." ~~ Town of Salisbury

Roger Eastman settled in Colchester, which was renamed Salisbury. Therefore, Roger Eastman did die in Salisbury, and not Amesbury. But because Amesbury is also mentioned as a town of his death, I have no doubts that he is buried there. It seems that the line is very close to Roger Eastman's property in Salisbury. Roger and Sarah's church was the Church of Salisbury. The historian's do refer to the area as the "Old Corner". There is a cemetery there where church burials were done, Old Corner Cemetery. This cemetery has not been physically researched yet.

Colonial Burial Grounds

Salisbury Plains Burying Ground

Salisbury Point Cemetery

Salisbury Point Cemetery is listed as being established in 1788 and is located on Clark's Road (behind Burger King on Rte 110) in Amesbury. The location the cemetery is on was formerly part of Salisbury. The town of Salisbury was incorporated in 1638. Amesbury was incorporated in 1668 but settled in 1642. This area was called Salisbury Point and was part of Salisbury until it was incorporated into Amesbury 1886.

Haverhill and Salisbury boarder division.

10 Nov 2012: I wrote to the superintendent of the Salisbury Colonial Burying Ground for confirmation of burial.

21 Mar 2013: No reply from the superintendent of the Salisbury Colonial Burying Ground as of this date. I wrote to the historical society for whereabouts of burial.

21 Mar 2013: I wrote to the keepers of the Vital Records inquiring burial information. The initials "N. CT. BK." are next to the records of Sarah, John, and Zachariah. Zachariah is buried at the Salisbury Plains Burial Grounds, which originally was a private cemetery of the early Eastman's. (My contact person supplied a picture of Zachariah's grave, but has since removed it without explanation.) These initials could represent a private burial. When the Find-a-Grave contributor and I first spoke, she said the headstones for them were not there, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a burial. I spoke to a historian about the Salisbury Plains Burying Ground and she stated that there was a disruption at this cemetery, but a previous historical society did step in and save the plot of land, but not before some graves were interrupted. I am awaiting the response from the Massachusetts Vital Records Project with the hopes that they understand these initials.

I also find it rather odd that John Eastman would put his son Jacob here, but his son Zachariah didn't make arrangements to have his parents placed here, whereas this land has been confirmed as Eastman/Osgood land that they used for burials.
