Note: James Salter's connection to President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was through a common ancestor, his paternal great-grandfather, Richard Salter (1669-1728), who was also Abraham Lincoln's great-great-great grandfather. Richard Salter's daughter, Hannah (1692-1727) married Mordecai Lincoln (1686-1736), their son, John (1716-1788), had a son named Abraham (1744-1786), who had a son named Thomas (1778-1851), who was the father of President Abraham Lincoln.

ANNALS OF THE OLNEY VALLEY-LINCOLNS OF BERK COUNTY

(MORDECAI LINCOLN AND HANNAH SALTER)==

THE LINCOLN HOMESTEAD

The date of the erection of the Lincoln Homestead in Exeter (once Olney township), PA is put down by chroniclers as 1733. It is one of the few houses of Berks still standing that date back so far. It was built by Mordecai Lincoln of the fourth generation of the American line of Lincolns, whose forebears had immigrated from Norwich, England, as early as 1637 and settled at Hingham, Mass. Mordecai was an iron-worker who came into Pennsylvania from Monmouth County, New Jersey, in 1720 and first settled in Chester county and for a number of years was associated with Samuel Nutt and William Branson in the manufacture of iron on French Creek.

In 1780, he purchased 1,000 acres of land in this portion of what is now Berks County-but then Lancaster-and soon thereafter began to erect his home. It is claimed that the first building was but 16 by 30 1/2 feet in dimensions and that a part of the present building was since added to it. Here were reared his five children (JOHN*, Deborah, Mary, Anne, and Sarah) already born to him from a first wife-a Miss HANNAH SALTER-and here three more children (Mordecai, Thomas, and Abraham) were born of his second wife, Miss Mary Robeson.

In May, 1736, Mordecai Lincoln died and the property descended to his widow and children. JOHN, a married son of his first wife moved into the homestead and here was born his son, ABRAHAM*, who after, or about the time he reached his majority, trekked with his parents and neighbors, the Hankses and Boones and numerous Pennsylvania German settlers of these parts and Lancaster and York counties in that flood of southern migration between 1760 and 1775, the outbreak of the Revolution, that soon filled the upper counties of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with as thick and characteristically Pennsylvania German a settlement as Eastern Pennsylvania itself. The Lincolns were carried along in 1765 and for a while settled in Rockingham county, where ABRAHAM in 1770 married a Pennsylvania-German girl, Bathsheba Herring, by name. Afterwards, he followed Daniel Boone westward and moved with his family to Kentucky, where he was killed by the Indians in 1786, when THOMAS*, his youngest son, the father of PRESIDENT LINCOLN, was but a lad of few years.

BOONES THEIR NEIGHBORS.

Miss Tarbell in her sketch of Lincoln's ancestors has this to say of the family while still settled in Berks County: "The Lincolns were not without neighbors. The most important of these were the Boones. I'here was George Boone, about Mordecai's age, with Deborah Howell, his wife, living with their 10 children not far away. There was Squire Boone, the father of Daniel with his big family. . . . The Lincoln and Boone children grew up together. One can see them racing back and forth over the fields and naturally enough, although Mordecai was not to live to see it, as they grew older, falling in love. Mordecai's daughter, Sarah, was to marry a Boone, and his youngest son, Abraham, a daughter of that house."

There is every reason to believe that Mordecai Lincoln at once stepped into a good position in the country to which he had come. We find him a Justice of the Peace, an Inspector of highways. He was on an ascending scale socially and financially, when in 1736, at the age of 49 years, he died. Five months after his death, another son was born who was named Abraham who grew up to be an honored Berks countian. The eldest son, JOHN, by and by occupied the homestead and of him was born ABRAHAM, the grandfather of PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

He was born in Berks County and in this Lincoln landmark, and here grew up, had his training and moulding influences in Berks, married a Pennsylvania-German girl (now Virginia-German); probably born in Berks, so that PRESIDENT LINCOLN had a good deal of Berks county influence and blood mixed in his make-up--enough indeed, to have enabled him to qualify as a member of the Pennsylvania German Society, had it already existed in his day.

ABRAHAM, POSTHUMOUS SON.==

Mordecai's posthumous son, Abraham, an uncle of the Abraham, who was also born in this house and later occupied it for 69 years and was head of his own family. This Abraham was the man who remained in Berks when the other Lincolns migrated, and won here a name for community, leadership and statesmanship already alluded to. Prof. Learned of the Pennsylvania University has dug out the fact that it was this Lincoln of Berks who was chosen to make the address to Gen. Washington in Philadelphia, after the Revolutionary battles had been finally crowned with victory and the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Eighty years afterward, his namesake and kin of Springfield, IL, PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN, on his way to Washington, D.C., stopped at Philadelphia en route and at the same time Independence Hall, on Gen. Washington's birthday anniversary, made that ever memorable address that pictured and presaged the imminent outbreak of the Civil War.

SALTER FAMILY -

The Salter’s Civil war letters and family pictures from the descendants of James Salter:

James Salter was born in North Carolina in 1760. He fought in the Revolutionary War and was rewarded for his services by President John Quincy Adams. The new land was located in the Mississippi Territory, which until after the Creek War of 1812-1814 was not conducive to settlement.

In 1816, Salter came down the Federal Road to the area known as Burnt Corn. According to family, James married three different times and fathered 21 or 22 children. Two of his sons were James, Jr. and William.

The following letters, stories and pictures came from the descendants of these two men.

Civil War Letters: Camp Hardier was located near the present city of Columbus, Mississippi today. This was the last camp before the battle of Vicksburg for Melton Greenberry Booker born 1837, Monroe County, Alabama, died June or July 1863, Vicksburg, Mississippi. Melton is writing his wife, Sarah (Sally) Salter, born 1830, New Ireland, Alabama (Greenstreet) died 1902, Burnt Corn, Alabama. They were married in 1859 and had two children: Willis Napoleon (Polie) born on May 11, 1860 and William Sugart, born Dec. 19, 1862. After Melton’s death at Vicksburg, Mississippi, Sarah married Sidney (Peter) Desplouse of France and they had one child, Mary Josephine Desplouse, born May 31, 1867, in Conecuh County, Alabama. Life of a Confederate Soldier was hard, always short on everything and being away from their wives and children was the worst part of being a soldier. For some reason, Sally did not write often. Melton sent stamps to Sally by McMillan in hopes that she would write.

Kenny (Kindred Salter, ca.1840) was Sarah (Sally) Salter's brother. James William, and Kindred, served in the Confederate Army. Enoch was exempted from service because of varicose ulceration on his feet and leg by a doctor at Sparta (county seat of Conecuh County, Alabama on October 31, 1864.) Camp Hardie near Columbus, Mississippi, 4 Sep.1862. Dear Wife, I seat myself down this morning to drop you a few lines to let you know that I am well at this time hoping these few lines may reach you and find you and family well. Sally, I have nothing of importance to write to you at this time and though I can't hear from you, I want you to hear from me. Sally I want to know the reason that you don't write to me more often for it is but seldom that I get a letter from home and I do want to hear from you and the children so bad. Sally I have been awaiting for a letter from you so long and it seems like I won’t get none. So I will write you this letter and see if I can get an answer to it. Sally if Kinney hadn’t been sick I would have wrote to you before now but he is getting better. Page 2: I think that he will soon be well now but he has been very sick.

Camp Pollard: Camp Pollard was located near the present site of Pollard, Alabama today.

Pollard is located between Brewton and Flomaton, Alabama and approximately 8 miles from the Florida State line. Death was always on the soldier's mind. In this letter, Melton is quoting the Bible to comfort his family. Hisacih (Hezekiah) was Martha Ann McClammy Booker's (1819-1896) brother.

Martha married William B. Booker, 1816-1891. Her father was Mark McClammy and her mother was Nancy Johnson. William and Melton were brothers. Note: Melton spelled Salter with a “U”, Saulter, this was common throughout the 1800s.

   SALTER FAMILY -

http://burntcorn.com/htmlfiles/salterfamily.html

   The Salter’s Civil war letters and family pictures from the descendants of James Salter James Salter was born in North Carolina in 1760. He fought in the Revolutionary War ands was rewarded for his services by President John Quincy Adams. The new land was located in the Mississippi Territory, which until after the Creek War of 1812-1814 was not conducive to settlement. In 1816, Salter came down the Federal Road to the area known as Burnt Corn. According to family, James married three different times and fathered 21 or 22 children. Two of his sons were James, Jr. and William. The following letters, stories and pictures come from the descendants of these two men. Civil War Letters Camp Hardier was located near the present city of Columbus, Mississippi today. This was the last camp before the battle of Vicksburg for Melton Greenberry Booker born 1837, Monroe County, Alabama, died June or July 1863, Vicksburg, MS. Melton is writing his wife, Sarah (Sally) Salter, born 1830, New Ireland, Alabama (Greenstreet) died 11902, Burnt Corn, Alabama. They were married in 1859 and had two children: Willis Napoleon (Polie) born on May 11, 1860 and William Sugart, born Dec. 19, 1862. After Melton’s death at Vicksburg, Mississippi, Sarah married Sidney (Peter) Desplouse of France and they had one child, Mary Josephine Desplouse, born May 31, 1867, in Conecuh County, Alabama. Life of a Confederate Soldier was hard, always short on everything and being away from their wives and children was the worst part of being a soldier. For some reason, Sally did not write often. Melton sent stamps to Sally by McMillan in hopes that she would write. Kenny (Kindred Salter, ca.1840) was Sarah (Sally) Salter's brother. James William, and Kindred, served in the Confederate Army. Enoch was exempted from service because of varicose ulceration on his feet leg by a doctor at Sparta (county seat of Conecuh County, Alabama on October 31, 1864.) Camp Hardie near Columbus, Mississippi, the 4th Sep.1862. Dear Wife, I seat myself down this morning to drop you a few lines to let you know that I am well at this time hoping these few lines may reach you and find you and family well.
