In 1787, Isaiah Salyer (1752-1818), son of
Zachariah Salyer (1730-1789) of North Carolina
settled on Copper Creek, two miles southeast
of here. Isaiah's brothers John, Benjamin, and
Zachariah, and sisters Sarah, wife of Solomon
Saylor, and Rebecca, wife of Stephen Kilgore
settled on nearby land. The Salyer land was
officially surveyed in 1790. The Salyers
intermarried with other Virginia pioneer
families—Castle, Isaacs, Nickels
Stapleton,
Vicars, and Byerley.
