About John Sallee

John Sallee (1756-1811)
John Sallee or Sally, eldest child of William and Nancy Sallé, was born in Buckingham Co., Virginia around 1756 and moved with his family to Washington Co., Kentucky around 1769. He was about 13 years old at the time of the move. Almost nothing is known of his life. He was declared titheable in 1774, so apparently he had his own property by that time, though perhaps not yet a wife. His first child, Allen, was not born until around 1787. Circumstantial evidence in the naming of his daughter's son and nephew, and in dim family memories, suggest that John Sallee's wife was named Rachel Smith, the daughter of William T. Smith [see discussion under "Smith Jackson"].
The family must have moved to Green Co., Kentucky before 1808 (Allen was married there in that year). John was still on the tax list in Washington Co. until 1800; his daughter Martha was born in Taylor Co., Kentucky in 1801, perhaps en route to Green Co. (they are adjacent). So the best guess is that the family was in Green Co. ca. 1802.
One family tradition has it that John's second child, Jane “Jinny” Sallee, ran a trading post, and there met her future husband, William P. “Willie” Jackson. They had an affair which resulted in the birth of a son, Philip Jackson, on 10 April 1810, seven months prior to their actual marriage on 9 November 1810. Her father was a bondsman at her marriage.
