Background

It is believed that the Salts families of Washington County, TN, originated in the US through the immigration from Germany of two (possibly three) brothers in the mid 1700's. Family legend, in one line, has one brother eventually going to Indianna and the other to Tennessee. Is this story in your family? Let us know!

Five Salts families were listed in the 1830 Washington County, TN census - Henry, Jesse, Daniel, John Sr., and John. There is work in progress to determine the connections between these and other Salts families.
