NOTE: The Salyer Family lists Kirk and Richard Salyer as children of Rebecca West and Charles Salyer. However, they are not included, in my family file, because there is no information or documentation that supports that they ever existed. Unfortunately, The Salyer Family does not list a source. The Salyer Family also omitted Oliver Perry Salyer, he is included based on the 1860 Shelby County, IL Census and the Obituary of Rebecca Salyer.

Notes for John Salyer:

Source: The Salyer Family

 

"Records indicate that the oldest child of Levi Salyer was probably John. The following information concerning John Salyer was compiled by the late Nellie C. Hiday of Salem, Oregon, and sent to the author several years ago. How she arrived at the birth date of 1763 in Greenville, South Carolina, for John Salyer is unknown. If that birth date is correct then the female in the household of Levi Salyer in 1800 was not old enough to be his mother. Also, John would have been at least thirty-three years old at the time of his marriage."

"John Salyer, b. ca. 1763? ; d. by 30 Aug. 1819 when his will was exhibited in Fayette County, Indiana. His only wife was Elizabeth Scott, b. ca. 1772, d. 1852 in Fayette County, Indiana.  John apparently owned no land in South Carolina. The only record, other than the 1800 census, found in South Carolina concerning him is the deed he proved in 1799.  Only three children of this couple can be identified:  Charles Salyer ; James Scott Salyer ; Peggy Salyer, who is called "my oldest daughter" in the will of her father.  Peggy was not of age at the time of her father's death; therefore, she was born after 1800."

Notes for Levi Salyer:

Letter from Elisabeth Salyer 7-16-1997, "Levi Salyer, Sr. died in Aug. 1811 in Franklin Co. Indiana which was at that time called Indian territory. He apparently moved on from Knox Co. IN to live near or with his son John as John Salyears (sic) returns in court an inventory of the personal property of LEVI SALYEARS, deceased at April Court 1812. That is from Minute Bk B p. 58. You can probably get copies of those records from Fort Wayne In. library." Source: David E Salyer Website

 

Letter from Elisabeth Salyer 9-8-1997, "I told David E Salyer in my letter to him written 16 July 1997 that very good cirucmstantial evidence indicates that your Levi was a son of Charles Salyer who appears to have died during the French and Indian War. His inventory of estate is in Culpepper Co. Va Will book A p. 153. (see p. 8 of my book)"

"The chapter of old Levi begins on p. 503. Since 1981 when I complete my book I have found more of Levi. I believe he was born prior to 1740 probably in western VA and he died in Aug. 1811 in Franklin Co.,  IN, which at that time was Indian territory. He was living in Culpepper Co., VA in 1765 and appears to have followed the migration down the valley of VA into western NC by the early 1770s. Culpepper Co VA, deed bk E p. 24-25, Levi witnessed a deed in Culpepper between Abraham Smith and Robert Deathearge concerning the sale of a horse. 3 January 1765."

 

 

       

Children of Levi Salyer and Margaret are:

        4                 i.    John Salyer, born Abt. 1763 in South Carolina; died Abt. August 30, 1819 in Fayette County, Indiana; married Elizabeth Scott Bef. 1797 in Probably South Carolina.

                          ii.    James Salyer33, born Abt. 1770 in North Carolina; died November 30, 1858 in Marshall County, Kentucky; married Temperance Spouse Bef. 1801; born Abt. 1773 in North Carolina.

 

Notes for James Salyer:

Source: "The Salyer Family" by Elisabeth Salyer p. 509

 

"James Salyer, was probably b. ca. 1770 and d. 30 Nov 1858 in Marshall County, Kentucky. The death record lists his parent as Levi Salyer and birthplace as North Carolina. His age was given as ninety-four. IN this case the census records are possibly more accurate. His only wife was Temperance born ca. 1773 in North Carolina. She survived him and in 1860 was living in Palma, Kentucky. 

  James purchased two tracts of land in Greenville District of South Carolina in 1805 which should indicate that he intended to live in that area. No grantor deeds have been located to indicate when he disposed of the land. He left South Carolina prior to 1810 and apparently moved to western Tennessee. Records indicate that he perhaps settled first in an are of Humphreys County which was cut off from Stewart County in 1809. There is no 1810 census extant for either of those counties and both have suffered a great loss of records due to fires.

  James and family appear to have resettled in an area of Caldwell County, Kentucky, which was cut off to form Hickham County in 1821 and Calloway County in 1822. Marshall County was formed in 1842 from Calloway. Only three children of this family can be identified: Samuel, Charles and James Salyer."

 

 

 

 

 

                         iii.    Charles Salyer34, born Bef. 1774; died Abt. 1817 in Caldwell County, Kentucky35

 

Notes for Charles Salyer:

 

 

Source:  "The Salyer Family" by Elisabeth Salyer, page 508-9.

 

"Charles Salyer, very little is known about this Charles.  He was born before 1774 and apparently lived close to his brother James in 1800.  He owned no land in South Carolina and possibly was the first of the family to leave that state.  Records indicate that he died intestate in Caldwell County, Kentucky, in 1817. (Inventory Book A, pp. 325-344) Sarah Salyer was named adminitratrix of the estate with Moses Crow her surety. No Salyers were listed in the 1820 Census of Caldwell County.  Sarah, the widow of Charles, may have been living with her parents when that census was enumerated. Sarah Salyers was listed as head of a household in the 1830 Caldwell County Census. She had one male 15/20; one 20/30 and a girl child 5/10. Sarah herself was not listed. (She was probably omitted when the census was copied. The census records one reads on microfilm are nto the census schedules prepared in the field by the enumerators but rather copies of their originals.)

  A Mrs. Sarah Salyers married 20 November 1833 in Caldwell County, Eli Nichols. On 20 August 1820 Sarah Salyers gave consent for John Salyer to marry Lucinda Wofford in Caldwell County, and on 21 January 1823 a Sarah Salyers mared Charles Hues in Caldwell County. Further research in Caldwell County record should reveal more on this group of Salyers."

 

                         iv.    Levi Salyer, Jr.36, born Abt. 1774; died October 1805 in Greenville County, South Carolina.

 

Notes for Levi Salyer, Jr.:

 

 

Source: "The Salyer Family" by Elisabeth Salyer, page 511.

 

"Levi Salyer, Jr., b. ca. 1774; d. Oct. 1805 in Greenville Co., S. C. Records indicate that Levi, Jr. was apparently ill for a long time prior to his death. There is no mention of a widow or minor heirs in his estate settlement.  On 4 November 1805 Levi Salyeir [sic] and Ambrose Blackburn were appointed administrators of the estate of Levi Salyer, Jr. Charles Bennett, Elijah Bennett and Samule Cosson were the appraisers of the estate which was actually quite a large one as compared with other estates of the era. (Levi Salyer, Sr. sold land to Elijah Bennett 16 October 1805.) It is quite probable that Levi, Sr. and some of his family left South Carolina shortly after the decease of Levi, Jr. On 9 Mar 1807 a yearly return and final settlement of the estate of Levi, Jr. was returned on the oath of Ambrose Blackburn, the other administrator of the estate. (Greenville Co., S.C., Adm. File 7-8, No. 444.)"
