JOHN MORGAN SALYER

(1827 - 1908)

This is a photo of my great-great grandfather. He was married to Evalina Jackson. John operated a ferry across the Licking River at Half Mountain, where he owned 2,700 acres.


The story goes that when each of his 10 children came of age he gave them 160 acres and built them a house.
