Last year I registered my research with DAR and joined their organization with my Revolutionary War Ancestor John Salyer of Greenville, South Carolina b. ca 1763 d. abt Aug 30, 1819 Fayette County, Indiana. I descend from his son James Scott, his daughter Sarah, her son William Paris Henderson, his daughter Georgie Emma Opal Henderson, her daughter Hazel Dell Miller, her son William Vincent Van Hoosan, his daughter ME. The Salyer's are my link to the Busby's as the son of James Scott Salyer, Charles Salyer's daughter Mary Alice married into the Busby line. Tiffany Support our Troops!
