Hi Does anyone know where "King's Salt Works" was or is? In a pension paper for Charles Thurman, he lists that as a place he lived in Washington Co VA for over 10 years before moving south to VA. Does anyone know where that was or is? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Deborah Thurman Parks
Deborah & Others: Kings Salt Works was located at what later became known as Saltville, Va.. It is on the Washington-Smyth county line and was formerly a part of Botetourt, Fincastle counties.. The Town of Saltville is presently in Smyth county and that part of Smyth county came out of Washington county, Va.. Go to my website to see some pictures pertaining to Saltmaking and Saltville, Va.. Click on "Scenes" and take a look.. http://hearlshill.freeservers.com/index.html Thanks, G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.
