Subject: Some new dirrection for your research.

I believe the Nancy Carty who married Isiah Salyer Jr was a sister to Abner, Thomas Wiley, John P and William and David Carty Jr (all Cartys) Their father was David Carty Sr see Russell County Census 1820 to 1830. on Russell Count US Genweb site. Further The Lineage of Isiah Salyer Sr i sknown back to Charles and William Sallier. Elizabeth Dunn who was the wife of Isiah Salyer Sr's father Zachariah Benjamin Salyer is often shown as the daughter of Henry Dunn, however I suspect that she descends from The family of John Dunn through hi sgrandson Hugh who married Elizabeth Martin They are first and foremost resident in Woodbridge NJ where the Salliers live at the time of Zachariah's birth. very interesting site about the Dunn Family and its connections to the Drake family of Francis Drake is on line. and can be found by searching the names Drake, Martin and Dunn together, sorry But I do not have the address immediately available. I have yet to figure out where the connection to Henryy Dunn Comes from as I can find no record of a henry and the names in the Salyer line suggest otherwise. For one thing the name Martin persists and Martin Dunn Salyer is a son of Zachariah Benkjamin Salyer Sr which suggests if anything that Elizabeth's father was named Martoin Dunn, however the Martin Dunn in Albemarle County VA who is also probably of the same line as Elizabeth is a contemporary to her, perhaps a brother. It is very likely that this Elizabeth is actually the Daughter of Hugh Dunn Jr and Elizabeth Dunn who are known to have had a daughter named Elizabeth but what becomes of her is unknown. Since they are resident in Woodbridge NJ at the same time as Zachariah Benjamin (two other names that fit the Dunn line coincidentally, of Elizabeth) it is quite possible., even probable that she is the same as the wife of Zachariah Salyer. Still investigating.
Interestingly I descend from The Abner Salyer who starts off your page. My gggrandfather was Andrew J Patton who was the oldest son of the relationship between Abner Salyer and Elizabeth Patton. I have yet to determine the relationshipo between her and William Martin Salyer's second wife Darcus Patton who was likely a daughter of Samuel Patton. It is believed by some researchers that Elizabeth Patton was the Daughte of John Patton, son of James Patton, son of John Patton the brother to Col James Patton. It is said that John is the son of James and an unknown first wife, I believe she may have been the daughter of Dr Thomas Walker. Sometime back in VA I had stumbled on the gravesite of Dr Walker and wife in Culpeper as i recall and Burried with them is a Daughter who was the wife of James Patton. I will someday find that site which was just around the corner from the Courthouse and check out the dates. The Courthouse sits on a circle which has another old graveyard at its center but this is on a side street that runs next to the courthouse. The graves are marked by a Granite monument and sit beside the wall of a building on the property there are maybe as many as 100 or bette graves there but the walker portion is separated by an iron fence.
