Salisbury (Chesterfield County, Virginia)

It was most likely built in the early 1760s by Abraham Salle (c.1732-c.1800), a descendant of Huguenot refugees fleeing persecution in France.

Abraham Salle (the younger) had "assembled the original 1,500 acre tract between 1760 to 1763" from various parcels of land primarily owned by his uncles William and Robert Wooldridge.

[1] Upon Turpin's death at Salisbury, the plantation passed to his daughter and son-in-law, Caroline and Dr. Edward Johnson.

Their son was Confederate Major General Edward Johnson who participated in the Civil War.

It was sold by Richmond attorney James Marshall Turner to the Salisbury Corporation in June 1956 for $110,000 (~$944,501 in 2023) and was noted as "the largest individually owned tract located close to any major city in the East."
