I don't think we are going to solve this problem. I, like you, have seen too many contraditions regarding Joanna Salway. Personally I believe she was a Salway, primarily since some of the credible information points to a Dorset/Somerset/Devon origin. The Salwey family kept more to the Staffordshire area. My conclusion is that someone has mixed in Arthur Salwey and Mary Searle as her parents, possible since one of their children was Jane/Jean Salwey.
Naturally I have no evidence for this.
We'll have to keep looking. BTW the connection to the Ligon family is just one of the links to the royal families. One of Arthur Salwey and Mary Searles children Humphrey Salwey married Annie Littleton a descendent of the Plantaganet Kings.
