Map of Circular Road 1639

Of the twelve original land grantees, only five received land and settled in Salisbury. These were Samuel Dudley, Christopher Batt, Samuel Winsley, Henry Biley, and John Sanders. Of the five, only Samuel Winsley resided in Salisbury for an extended period of time. By 1639 lots of land had been laid around what was called "The Circular Road" which is now Mudnock Road, establishing the first organized settlement in Salisbury. Approximately 37 lots were established with up to 69 lots by 1643. Lots were granted according to wealth. The lots around the "Green" were occupied with homes, while planting lots were granted further out.
