Salers/Sailors/Saylers in White Co., TN

Looking for information on the following Michael Salers/Sailors:
There is a Michael Salers/Sailors on the White co., TN tax list for the years 1813/1817/1818. Before this he lived in Blount co., TN, and was living in Jackson co. TN on the 1820 census, age 45+ (b. 1750's in PA). He lived to be at least 100, as he is listed on the 1850 census there and noted as a Rev. war pensioner, age 100.
I think I've correctly identified his pension application (Sailers) which confirms this information, but it is very difficult to read. It says he was born in PA in 1758, enlisted from Burke Co., NC, then moved to GA after the war, then in TN as before stated (also in Missouri, but details are illegible).
I wonder if he was from Wilkes co., GA, as that is where my Phillips family lived. I'm trying to determine if he had a daughter named Elizabeth, b. bet. 1790-1797 in GA, who would have married into my Phillips family.
A Jackson co., TN book says he had a dtr. named Rachel, and his wife was named Louanna Mason. Possible sons living in White co., TN were Frederick & Leonard.
Can anyone tell me anything about this Michael or any of the other Sailer names listed?
Thank you!
Amy.
