Sounds a bit suspicious, though very romantic. We do have a Saluda, VA but it is on the Middle Peninsula.....no where near where I understand the Mustains to have lived. Happy Familying Laura Irby << Hi...I've not researched the subject...but as I understand it there was a town named Saluda near where the Thomas Mustain family originally settled. I've also been told...so take it for what it's worth :o)...by a modern day Saluda...that she's never found the name used unless the person was a descendant of Thomas Mustain. Seems hard to believe...but it's been her primary focus of study. Good Luck Sue >>
