Question from Bud Caudle re:
I have a John Salyer supposedly born 1798 married to Margaret Sparks. John is supposedly a son of Zachariah Salyer(s), but I'm confused as to which Zachariah and which wife of Zachariah.

I also have a John Salyer reportedly born 1810, married to Margaret Jayne. This John is supposedly a son of Zachariah Jr and unknown wife.
Do I just have conflicting birthdates for the same John Salyer and possibly incorrect maiden name of wife? Or did he have two wives?

Here is an excerpt from "The Salyer Family" by Elisabeth L. W. Salyer, 1982, page 342:

E.7) John Salyer, the youngest son of Zachariah and Mary Salyer was born ca. 1810 on Mocassin Creek in Russell County, Virginia, and died after 1887 in Johnson County, Kentucky. He married 1st, Margaret Jayne, daughter of William Jayne. The marriage bond is dated 24 Nov. 1828. Both John and Margaret were under age and parental permission was required. Zachariah Salyer wrote the following permission for this marriage. (See illustration on page 343.)
William Jayne also wrote a permission for his daughter Margaret. (In previously published material concerning Salyers Margaret SPARKS is given as the wife of this John Salyer.)
John Salyer married 2nd, 23 April 1865 in Johnson County, Margaret Justice, daughter of Samuel Rice, Sr. John divorced Margaret 4 Sept. 1873 and he married 3rd, 17 May 1874, Elizabeth Preston. They were divorced 12 March 1881.

Therefore, Bud, it would appear that you have two bits of conflicting information pertaining to the same John Salyer. Elisabeth Salyer's reference to the previously-published Sparks info seems to make it fairly clear that this previous information was in error.

If you or anyone is interested in the book by Elisabeth Salyer, I highly recommend it. She is a superb researcher and very professional and accurate with her information. Below is a link with information on how to order it:
