I have been able to trace my family in the Edgefield District of South Carolina back to John Salter (1786-1859) and Hannah Eidson (1824- ). I am interested in ancestors of this specific John Salter; when this branch of the Salters first arrived in the Edgefield District; their possible relationship to the various James Salters and their European origins. I will be glad to furnish any information I have on the Salters or Sheppards, in whom I am also interested. I can trace the Sheppard link back to James Sheppard ( - 1771) and Janette Riddle ( -1820). I am also very interested in information on the family of Jesse Zebulon Salter (1850-1910), my ggrandfather.
I look forward to responses.
