     John Felton was born about 1645.2 He was baptized on 3 September 1648 in Salem, Massachusetts.1
     The Felton genealogy by William Reid Felton says this John Felton married first Mary Tompkins and second Hannah (--?--). In the more recently published Great Migration Begins series, however, the John Felton who married Mary Tompkins and Hannah (--?--) is listed as the son of Benjamin and Mary (Story) Felton, with a baptism date of 26 December 1639. The Felton genealogy does list a John Felton as the son of Benjamin and Mary (Story) Felton, with a baptism date of 26 December 1639, agreeing with The Great Migration Begins series, but doesn't list a wife or children, and says he probably left Salem in 1685. The William Reid Felton genealogy is primarily based on an earlier book by Cyrus Felton, which contains the same information but gives no sources. Until (and unless) additional research is done to clarify the situation, it's assumed here that The Great Migration Begins series is correct.3,4

     Remember Felton was baptized on 28 May 1643 in Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts.1 She married George Salmon in October 1664 in Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts.3
     On 27 June 1676 she confessed in court in Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts, to committing fornication with Thomas Greene, and was ordered to be whipped. Greene denied the charge, but was judged by the court to be the father, and was ordered to pay child support of 3s/week, in corn.4 At the next court session, on 18 July 1676, Greene bound over ten acres of land as security for his payment, "until he should take away the child into his own keeping," which was to occur within a month.5 The baby, born on 1 April 1676, is listed in Salem vital records as "Greene, Tho[mas], s. Tho[mas], 'being his supposed father,' and Remember Samons," and died a little over a year later, during the first week of September 1677.6,7
     She was again charged with fornication on 25 November 1679, with Phillip Veren named as the father. Phillip had "made his escape," and she returned to Salem with the baby. The case was to be considered at the next court session, but no further record has been found.8
     She and George had the following known children: Elizabeth, Mary (b 16 March 1668/69), Susannah (b 30 May 1670), George (b 1 March 1672).9
