Elizabeth\Betty (Peggy) HOWARD:

Born January 1844, Floyd Co, KY
Died BET 1920 AND 1928, Fredville, Magoffin Co, KY
Birth: Part of Floyd Co. became Magoffin Co. in 1860.
Death: 1999 - No primary proof yet exists as to Elizabeth's parentage. Although Magoffin County Historical Society has said that Betty is the "dau of Sam," a requested Kentucky death certificate for Betty/Elizabeth Salyer returned a death certificate for an Elizabeth Salyer whose parents were Ben Howard and Susan Allen; a birth date of 15 Sept 1846 was given. The date of death given is 19 Oct 1922. The year 1922 is consistent with the information given by Connie Wireman to Laurie McKenzie. Although the death certificate states that Elizabeth Salyer was married, no husband's name is given. The sudden death of Elizabeth was attributed to "heart dropsey." I have listed Elizabeth's (Betty) deathdate as being between 1920 - when she was on the census - and 1928 when her husband, Nelson, died. Nelson was listed as a widower at the time of his death. NOTE: Barbara Greene, Ezra Parker, DAR (Royal Oak, MI) found proof of Elizabeth as daughter of Samuel Howard for my application to the DAR.

Sebastian Bass SALYER⁶ {M} = Nancy Jane ALLEN {F} > Family

Married 20 November 1880, Magoffin Co, KY⁷

Sebastian Bass SALYER:

Born 7 December 1861, Fredville, Magoffin Co, KY
Died 9 November 1901, Paintsville, Johnson Co, KY
Buried Galdia, Magoffin Co, KY at Sebastian Salyer Cemetery⁸
Occupation: Deputy County Clerk
Birth: Licking Station referred to the area around Salyersville, KY. Before 1860, Morgan Co. (formed 1823) came to about the center of Salyersville. West of this line was Morgan Co. East of this line was Floyd Co.
Death: Sebastian died after being ambushed. The story is that he had a disagreement with someone during an election. Sebastian walked away and the other person followed him and stabbed him. "Bass" ultimately bled to death. Nothing was done about the knifing since the other fellow had relatives who had high official standing in Salyersville. You can't fight city hall!
Burial: This cemetery is located in the David Quadrangle - about 1-1/4 mile on right from mouth of Long Branch off KY 7. On 30 Aug 1997, Arnoldis "Noddie" SALYER Lamb and Laurie SCARPACE McKenzie climbed the mountain where their great grandfather, Sebastian "Bass" SALYER, is buried. The cemetery is so overgrown that they had to hack their way to it. As a matter of fact, they had to hack their way down from the road to the creek, first! Then they had to find rocks to walk on to get across the creek - and then fight through all kinds of brush - wild raspberries and roses - as they climbed up the hill to the cemetery. Laurie carried a golf club, in case of snakes, and her 'cemetery' bag filled with supplies: regular gardening tools including grass/weed shears and brushes and a kneeling pad. Shaving cream was used on the markers to read the faint writing. They even had to go through barbed wire, then find a way over the fence which was around the cemetery. Of all the times to not take a pair of jeans! Laurie wore the lined pants from a warm-up suit and borrowed a denim shirt! Even so, chiggers got to her. Sebastian's mother-in-law, Sally ALLEN, is there, too, as is his daughter, Susie. Eight people are buried there all tolled. Photographs of all of the markers were taken.
Census Date: 1900
Census Place: Salyersville, Magoffin Co, KY
At the time of the 1900 U.S. Census, S.B. owned his farm free and clear. He may have rented some of his land to an Allen family who could have been his wife's parents or brother. More research needs to be done. The only member of his family at that time who had schooling was Susie, who according to the census report was "at school." However, it was also noted that all members of the family were able to read, write and speak English.
