Notes for William Franklin “Frank” SALTS
On he Missouri On-line death records, he is indexed as Satts. HIs birth year is out by one year. From all of the census records and other known dates of his siblings, he was born in 1859. On his death certificate it says he was born in the year 1860.
He is buried beside his wife Martha Thomas (Haynie) Salts.
Notes from Karen Mason See, 2001 - The William Franklin Salts Family Bible gives William's birth date as 1860, however, the 1860 Federal Census shows his age as 1 year. Since the Census date was 1 June 1860, if his actual date of birth was in October 1860 he would not have been listed in the Census. Therefore, we must assume that he was born in 1859 which is the date shown on his tombstone. William was the first of the Allen Salts children to attend school.
The following notes are based upon the recollections of Frankie Allen (Salts) Bean, the youngest daughter and only living child of William Franklin Salts (July 1991).
William Franklin Salts came to Missouri from Tennessee at the age of 14 (about 1873). He came with some unnamed Tennessee neighbors by covered wagon. At the time William didn't even own a pair of shoes (as Frankie stated it, he came to Missouri bare-footed). He never returned to Tennessee, and what he did from 1874 to 1880 is unknown. In the 1880 Federal Census for Center Township, Greene County, Missouri, Frank Salts, 20 years old from Tennessee, was employed as a "Hired Man" and was enumerated with the W. H. Park family; Mr. Park was a Physician. Another man, G. W. Rogers, age 19 from Tennessee, was also a "Hired Man" and was enumerated with the Park family.260
