Zachariah Benjamin Salyer
Family Group Sheet for Zachariah Benjamin Salyer, Sr. and Elizabeth
Dunn
Zachariah Benjamin Salyer, Sr. is the son of
Charles Salyer and his wife Rebecca. He
is my direct ancestor. Elizabeth is a mystery yet to be solved. I have seen
listings that she is the daughter of Henry Dunn, born 1697, and an unknown
mother.

Note: According to
Sherri Slayton, whose
page has much more than names and dates, Zachariah may be the ancestor family
legend says was killed when a panther dropped from a tree onto his back while he
was riding through the forest. He was killed by the panther and the panther was
killed by someone who was with Zachariah.
Married: About 1751
Elizabeth Dunn
Born: 1732 in Woodbridge, Middlesex
County, New Jersey
Died 22 April 1799 in North Carolina
Daughter of Henry Dunn and unknown
mother
Children:
Isaiah Salyer, Sr.
Gender: male
Born 1752 in Moll's Creek,
Rutherford, North Carolina
Nickname: Still
Family rumor has it that he was a
Tory, but no verification available that I'm aware of. It is said he adopted the
name Still after becoming a fugitive, because he was "still" Isaiah. (Sounds
just like the kind of humor my family loves!) See
Kim Watt's site.
