James Salter (1767 SC - 1833 AL)

1780 The earlist documented evidence of James Salter in SC is his name on a Loyalist L:ist in 1780, when James was only 13 years old. He is listed as a Pvt. in Col. John Cotton's regiment, Stevenson's Creek Militia, ninety-six brigade. He was sent to Orangeburg with Lt.Col. John H. Cruger. He was paid for 183 days, 14 June to l3 Dec. 1780. ( See p. 242 LOYALISTS IN THE SOUTHERN CAMPAIGN {VOL I} by Murtie June Clark ). Also in the Stevenson Creek Militia, Ninety Six Brigade was Charles Partin, James' future Father-in-Law. (See p. 241 ibid)

1786 No marriage record has been found for James Salter and Ann"Nancy" Partin but they were probably married in 1786 as they had 2 males and 1 female, in addition to themselves in the household at the time of the 1790 Federal Census. (p.63 Heads of Families, SC, Ninety-six District,, Edgefield County) at the time of that census, James and Ann(Partin) Salter lived just 2 households away from Ann's parrents, Charles and Ann(Watson) Partin.

1790 In January of 1790, James Salter purchased 2 pieces of land in Edgefield Co. from William Herin. The land was located on a Branch of the Little Saluda River called Dry Creek. (Deed book s1 p. 248 and 250 Edgefield Co, SC). This land granted to Herrin in 1786 & 1788.
