Hi Janice: This few pages of info I have on the Saltsmans does contain a page on Philip - why don't I copy this and send to you. I also will go thru my paper files and see if I can find where the info came from originally, as it was part of a further writeup. Philip's father was William who settled in PA, died there in 1796 which was the year Philip came to Ohio from PA. Helen I'm really trying to track down Martin's father, Philip SALTSMAN, Sr. I have another source that says Philip Sr.'s father was William who came from Germany in 1751 and settled in Pennsylvania but I don't know what the documentation for this is. Do you have anything on where William came from in Germany? Or anything else on Philip, Sr.? Thanks for responding, Janice
