SALTER OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
41 ELEZAR SALTAR, supposed son of Ebenezer Saltar, 7. Possibly this name is correct, but it suggests itself to me that an error has occurred in copying, and that it should be Ebenezer instead.
The name appears as a witness to the will of Elizabeth, widow of John Saltar, which was written 1728 and proved 1741.
Elezar Saltar is placed among the children of Ebenezer Saltar, merely because of the sup- posed similarity of names.
54 ABRAHAM LINCOLN, son of John Lincoln, 19, went to Kentucky, in 1782, where he was killed, by an Indian, in 1784, who in turn was shot and killed by Abraham's eldest son, Mordecai, a lad of fourteen years, who had been concealed behind a log and who picked up his father's gun.
He married Mary, daughter of Robert and Sarah (Rachael) Shipley, and her sister, Nancy Shipley, married Joseph Hanks. This last mentioned pair had a daughter, Nancy Hanks, who married her first cousin, Thomas Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, 54.

He married Sarah, daughter of Thomas and (Rachel Hartshorne) Robinson. Her mother, Rachel, upon the death of her husband, Thomas Robinson, married Joseph Saltar.
In 1796, William Saltar, with John Hartshorne, bought lands of Josiah Foster, in Gloucester County, N. J.
William Saltar moved to Utica, N. Y., where he was an officer in the branch of the U. S. Bank. In 1796, the condition of the Indians was so unsatisfactory that Joseph Saltar, 28, though advanced in years at this time, was, with others, appointed to attend to the lands as- signed to them, etc.
In 1801, the Indians wishing to sell their lands and move to New Stockbridge, near Oneida Lake, William Saltar, William Stockton and Enoch Evans, were appointed Commissioners to sell their lands.
In 1802, William Saltar had resigned and another person occupied his place.

165 HON. EDWIN SALTER, son of Amos Salter, 100, was born Feb. 6, 1824.
Mr. Salter from early life until the date of his demise, was actively engaged in politics. For many years he largely shaped the political course of Ocean County, N. J., which he repre- sented, for several terms, in the State Legislature, commencing in 1856. In 1859, he was chosen Speaker of the House, and had it not been for his retiring disposition and excessive modesty, he would have been crowded into more important places. In later life, he was em- ployed in the Auditor's Division of the Treasury Department, at Washington. In the dis- charge of his duties, he was able and active. In speech, he was terse, direct and logical, rather than eloquent. In all his dealings with his fellow man, he was upright and downright, yet urbane beyond common, and punctiliously punctual. He was an ardent student of history, local and general, and a member of several historical bodies. He contributed to them and to the newspapers, innumerable articles on history and genealogy, and was at the date of his death, preparing an history of Ocean County, N. J., which was produced in its skeleton form, as a posthumous work. To him is due great credit as a pioneer in this line of research. He awakened in many a feeling of family pride, whereby was rescued traditions and facts from ob- livion. Much of his material was prepared distant from the scenes about which he wrote, and from the records and individuals which could best supply him with information, yet his articles for the press were replete with interest to the general reader, as well as to the historian and genealogist. He was sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
In arranging genealogical material it is not uncommon to find a number of descendants who cannot be united to the parent stem. It is likewise not uncommon to find pedigrees, of the same family, differing very considerably, even indeed to the extent of being irreconcilable.
In a letter from Col. I. S. Buckalew, of Jamesburg, N. J., dated Mch. 15, 1882, he stated, in response to a query, that his notes, concerning his Salter ancestry, yielded the following information:
1 JOHN SALTER, born about 1735, was killed, while "loading a log," about 1775. He married "Epenetus, daughter of Thomas Gordon and Janet, daughter of David Mudie." Whitehead's History of East Jersey, p. 47.
