Gianna,
I am your mother's first cousin. I remember your mother and father coming to the hospital and telling my mother they were getting married.I have her picture and a bible that were hers. Her birth certificate is under Bayes.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-27 23:57:23Z

Maybe we need to follow another path for her parents. I've never seen the actual marriage record, but it was transcribed as her name being Martha Saylor. Maybe we need to search the Saylors instead.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-26 03:18:02Z

My confusion, I'm sorry. If they didn't marry cousins, and if somewhere along the line they hadn't changed spellings, maybe I wouldn't get confused.

Re: Salyer Family

sharoncox — 2013-03-26 01:24:13Z

well I'm glad thought I had lost it there for a while, I have went through all of Harlan Co. records and Zach and Mary were the only ones who would fit, that came through Harlan Co.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-26 00:55:52Z

Sharon, I think I just figured out what is going on. There are two Zachariahs and Marys. You may have been talking about Zachariah Salyer and Mary Saylor. I was saying I knew Patsy wasn't the daughter of Zachariah Saylor and Mary Salyer. My gg grandparents were the latter. The first were my fifth great grandparents. Patsy could possible be the daughter of the latter, but would have probably been a change of life baby.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-25 22:13:36Z

I posted this to a site for Harlan County and one of the members gave this suggestions. I believe this could be one to run with. In the 1850 census for Johnson County, there is Jacob Salyer (Salier) born 1805 and Newcarious Litteral Salyer. It is more like these are Clarissa's parents than Zachariah and Mary. I'm not sure, but I believe Newcarious also went by Mary. If they were in Harlan County earlier in the census, it could very well be that these are her parents. I will be checking, but if you find out anything let me know.

Is this the post you were talking about, Sharon. I don't have any proof this was her parents. It was just a suggestion to prove or disprove. We were gone for several weeks after this, and I forgot all about following up on it.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-25 22:08:58Z

Do you mean how do I know Zachariah and Mary are her parents, or someone else. I only have proof that Zach and Mary aren't her parents. I think I mentioned a Jacob Siller in one post. That info was given to me by someone else, and that is only speculation.

Re: Salyer Family

sharoncox — 2013-03-25 12:58:30Z

this is the statement that I was asking if you can back up woith any proof

Re: Salyer Family

sharoncox — 2013-03-25 12:50:54Z

How do you know the person you quoted as being her mother and father are right, do you have any proof

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-25 06:07:33Z

Sharon, Sorry I am having trouble keeping up with this thread. How do I know what?

Re: Salyer Family

POPittman — 2013-03-25 03:51:30Z

Dianne, I may have asked but where do you live? I will be going back to Ky. End of May. I could go to the genealogy society and see what I can find. Could I call you this coming week to discuss further? I will find a way to send a more private email.

Re: Salyer Family

sharoncox — 2013-03-25 01:33:23Z

Dianne how do you know this and what proof do you have

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-24 08:22:00Z

I forgot to mention that Zachariah R Saylor and Mary Salyer are my 3rd great granparents.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-24 08:13:59Z

Sorry, but several of us are trying to track down her parents. Salyer/Saylor was a pretty common name, especially in Harlan County where she and John married.

I had not checked her relationship to me, until now. She was my 4th great grandmother through Nelson McCarty, Sarah Jane McCarty Blanton, Walter Blanton, Dixie Blanton Blanton, Dorothy Blanton Bayes, then me.

If I find anything out, I will let you know.

Re: Salyer Family

POPittman — 2013-03-23 15:34:53Z

Dianne, thanks so much for this info. Can you give me any leads on Martha Clarissa? If she was not the daughter of Zachariah, do you know anything about her? I cannot find her anywhere.

Is there any reference I can go to? Martha Clarissa was my great, great grandmother.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-23 04:18:10Z

Just an FYI. I may have already responded the the info that was given to Sharon, but I am known to repeat myself. Martha Clarissa Patsy Salyer McCarty, mother of Nelson McCarty, was not the daughter of Zachariah R. and Mary Salyer. Zachariah's family used the name Saylor and Mary was a Salyer. She was the daughter of Benjamin, but was not Patsy's mother, nor was Zacharia R her father.

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2013-03-23 03:59:05Z

If you go up to cemetery this summer, be sure to stop at the house. Mary's son is now living with her. If you go, could you please do something for me. My gg grandmother Malissa Saylor Blanton is buried there. I do have a picture of her monument, but her husband John is suppose to be buried next to her (according to his daughter by his last marriage). I do no recall a fieldstone or anything being there, but if you could check both sides of her grave, I would appreciate it. I do remember stepping in a sunken spot, when I was up close taking a photo. Maybe the grave was sinking. I can't imagine that my great grandfather buried him in a pine box, as he was considered wealthy back then, but one never knows. Also, can't understand the lack of a headstone.

Re: George Adams and Nancy Auxier/Oxer

adams_matthew43 — 2012-10-15 14:17:17Z

My Grandfather's name was David A. Adams Sr. He recently passed. His Father was Lucian Walker Adams. William Leander Lee Adams was his father. George M. Adams was Williams' Father. My grandfather told me that William Leander Lee Adams left his father Lucian when he was a child. There is speculation that was after he had committed a crime. There is an indication that he changed his name to William Auxier. Auxier would have been his mother's maiden name.

Re: Wheeler Cemetery HELP!!!!

Wardster91 — 2012-09-03 20:01:07Z

This is obviously coming way late, but the cemetery with William Wheeler and Stephen Wheeler is located off of Concord Rd right before you get to the Paintsville Golf Course. It is on private property though and has not been maintained. When I was there in April there were a number of downed trees blocking most of the access. There are at least three cemeteries at this location, so you have to seek out the right one.

Here are the gps coordinates:

37.811225, -82.768743

The information that I have on Elizabeth Salyer who married Benjamin Castle was born about 1790 in Russell, Virginia. She married Benjamin 1810 in Russell. Her children that I am researching were Drewry Peterson Castle born 20 Mar 1821 in Scott, Virginia and Ira Castle born abt 1820 in Virginia

Re: Salyer Family

sharoncox — 2012-08-07 10:58:02Z

THis is some research sent to me by another person regarding Martha Patsy Clarissa Salyer, thought it might help
Nelson McCarty, b 30 Jan 1839 Russel Co., VA
his mother was Martha "Patsy" Clarissa Salyer, born 1821 dies 30,Aug 1886
her father was Zachariah Salyer and his wife's name was Mary but I have no dates
his father was Benjamin K. Salyer who died 1754, note Guilford CHNC, no idea who his wife was
his father was Charles salyer who married Mary Jones,

Re: Salyer Family

DianneSmiley6679 — 2012-08-06 02:59:27Z

No, I don't know anything about Clarissa's parents. If I do find out anything, I will let you know.

Mary is getting up in years, but I would let her know you are going up there, if she is home. I haven't been to the cemetery since 2004. We could have taken our four wheel drive up the road, but decided just to walk up. Wasn't a bad walk.

Re: Salyer Family

POPittman — 2012-08-06 00:08:35Z

Thanks so much. I won't be back in Kentucky until next summer. I may look you up again to see about going there. I will need to contact Mary Cochran?

Do you know anything about Clarissa's parents? We cannot find out anything about who they were.

Re: Salyer Family

dianne6679 — 2012-08-05 05:35:35Z

Clarissa is buried in the McCarty Cemetery at Oil Springs, at what used to be called Manila. You take 580 off 40 and it will be on the left before you get to Low Gap Fork. It sits on the very top of the hill behind a grey house which is owned by Mary Cochran. There are two cemeteries on this hill, the first being the Thurman Cochran Cemetery and on up the hill you will reach the McCarty Cemetery. My gg grandmother, Malissa Saylor Blanton, is buried there. She was the daughter of Zachariah R and Mary Salyer Saylor. I am also related to the Cochrans.

I am looking for information on the father and mother of William Edward Arms born in Johnson County on April 1, 1892. His mother's name may have been Rachel. We think Arms is not his real name. William was married to Eva Dale.
