SALTER OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
After careful examination and correspondence, I still fail to connect John Salter, I, with the parent stock, though it would seem as if he might be identified with John Salter, son of Richard. But a glance at the two sets of children belonging to these individuals, would exclude any such thought, even if direct assurances were wanting from the descendants of John Salter, that no such descendants, as are ascribed to John Salter, had ever been heard of.
PROBABLE DESCENDANTS OF EBENEZER SALTAR
SALTAR; probably Ebenezer, had issue, mentioned in the will of Thos Saltar, of Philadelphia, Pa., viz .:
2 Thomas Saltar
3 Meribah Saltar
4 Mary Saltar
5 Sarah Saltar
6 Hannah Saltar
7 John Cox; a stepson.
2 THOMAS SALTAR, son of Ebenezer Saltar (?), is mentioned in the will of Richard Saltar, 1762, as "my nephew." He early resided in Freehold. He wrote a fine signature and his name appears frequently as a witness to many of the mortgages made by the Loan Com- missioners, at Freehold, and it may be that he was employed in that office.
1748, Mch. 25. Robert Hankison mortgaged twenty-eight acres, in Upper Freehold, being the plantation of Thos Taylor, decd. Thomas Saltar was a witness to the transaction.
After some years, Thomas Saltar moved to Northern Liberties, Philadelphia County, Pa., and became an opulent merchant. He married Susannah, daughter of Caspar and Eve Ulrich, of Philadelphia, as is set forth in a quit-claim deed, dated May 10, 1763, between Eve Ulrich, of Philadelphia, widow, and relict of Caspar Ulrich, decd, of Philadelphia, and Thomas Saltar and Susannah, his wife, a daughter of the said Caspar and Eve, and Philip Ulrich, of Phila- delphia, baker, a son of the same. In the deed, it appeared that Caspar Ulrich left a will bearing date Nov. 22, 1751.
Philadelphia Deeds, H. 18, p. 183.
Susannah Ulrich was the widow of Thomas Rutter, of Philadelphia, and is so alluded to in her father's will. Her marriage to Thomas Saltar occurred, at Christ Church, Philadelphia, Dec. 23, 1758, and she has been erroneously called Susannah Butler. Upon the death of his wife, Susannah, Thomas Saltar married Sarah Stewart, a widow with four children.
In 1765, he was among the Citizens or Landholders who signed for a Municipal Govern- ment for Northern Liberties, Philadelphia County, Pa.
1772 and 1779. Thomas Saltar was joined by his wife, Susannah, frequently, in deeds. In 1790, in a deed of land, in Upper Freehold, the "land now or late Thomas Saltar's," is alluded to, near Doctor's Creek, Burlington Path, Daniel Grandin's land, Job Throckmorton's land, and others.
1790. His death occurred, and his large estate was distributed, by will, among his kins- people as he, himself, was childless. As it throws light upon the family, and is, itself, an inter- esting document, a synopsis of it follows:
1785, Oct. 4. Will of Thomas Saltar, of Northern Liberties, City of Philadelphia, mer- chant; proved June 7, 1790, mentioned:

SEABROOK
OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY
The surname of Seabrook is so rare, both in England and America, that a suppositive kinship might be claimed very plausibly for all bearing the name.
The references to them, in England, are not numerous, and no account of them appears in any of the Heralds' Visitations, that I have seen, though they were granted arms.
Seabrook Arms. Argent; a lion passant gules; in chief, a cross crosslet fitcheé sable. Crest; a hand erect holding a cross crosslet fitcheé, in pale gules.
Another arms, given by the same authority, Burke, is: Argent; three roses sable.
The former arms are and were used by the South Carolina Seabrooks, and an impression, from a seal ring bearing them, was given to me about 1880.
THOMAS SEABROOK, an Englishman, and the progenitor of the New Jersey family, was settled at Mineford Island, now known as City Island, lying off Pelham Neck, Westchester County, New York, Aug. 29, 1664, at which date he purchased, of John Seaman, of Hempstead, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, (Long Island, New York), one hundred and twenty acres of land, situated on the North Neck, in Hempstead, commonly called Mattgairisons Neck, the lot being on the East side of said neck, and known as Number 41; thither he removed:
1664, Aug. 29.
