I haven't followed all the conversation on here but just thought I'd mention that there is a Salt River in Missouri. There is a Salt River area code area which is probably a town, there is also a whole area in Saline County where there were salt (mines?) where they got salt from along the river. In Livingston their gen society website has an entry for The Bloody Saline of the Salt River Country Just thought I'd mention it. --- rose <hickoryflatoutlaws@centurytel.net> wrote: > Bruce, > > Just to update you, I also found a Salt River in > Kentucky and wondering if > perhaps the incident could have happened there.
