A dna match has recently been discovered between descendants of Alice “Allie” Salts Johnson and of Elizabeth Salts Starnes. All signs point that these two women could possibly be sisters.
On his son’s death certificate, it lists James’ birth location as Mitchell County, North Carolina. It lists his mother, Allie Salts, as being born in Washington County, Tennessee.
