William must have moved to Ashe County, North Carolina, because in he is listed in the 1880 Federal Census there, house 96, family 106, Laurel Township: William age 33, a farmer, born in Tennessee, wife Nancy A. age 28 born in Virginia, daughter Viora age 8 born in Virginia, daughter Cordelia age 7 born in Virginia, son Samuel age 4 born in Tennessee, and daughter Kate age seven months born in Tennessee.

Death, about 1922 - Notes from Kevin Salts via Connie Gray regarding William B. Salts - “My great Aunt Ola (Salts) Neal told me that William was buried in his Confederate Uniform." [added 1 May 2011]
[From Connie - Ola was the daughter of Samuel Salts (William B.'s son. Kevin said he visited with her when he was about 12 and got a copy of the family picture then. Ola was born in 1909. I think William B. died about 1922 - so Ola would have been about 13 at her grandfather's funeral. - Connie
