Debbie, My 3rd great grandfather was William Salter (1740-1843). His wife was Sarah Holman. They has a son William Salter born 1814. He died between 1876 and 1880.The son was married twice. He had 4 children with his first wife. I have not found who she was. He married a second time to Lavisa ( ? ) and they had 5 children. He had a son William D. with the first wife and a son William B. with the 2nd wife. They went to Crawford Co., Tx where William SR.died. Lavisa remarried 25 Dec 1884 to John B. Reynolds. What connection did William Salter have with research? I will be extremely interested to know. Thank you. ---------Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <ALCHEROK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 5:26 PM Subject: Re: [ALCHEROK] W. E.
