Biography

Richard Salter is an ancestor of a US President/Vice President Join: US Presidents Project Discuss: Presidents

This person is an ancestor of President Abraham Lincoln.

There is a documentation that indicates he was the son of Henry and Anna Salter of the same county.^[1]

The birth and death of Richard is undocumented, but we know his death was after 1728, as he was acting Judge of his county at that date.^[1] Dates on Find A Grave: Memorial #48919219 Middletown Baptist Churchyard, Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey are NOT substantiated, and where he was buried is Unknown. By 1690 he was well involved in the politics of the area, leading one to believe that he was born around 1660^[1]

Sources indicate that he and Sarah married in 1693, although an original record has not been found.^[2] Unfortunately, that puts the birth of several of the children attributed to Richard and Sarah outside their marriage.

Richard Salter was a lawyer, judge and colonial legislator of Monmouth County, New Jersey.^[3]

Guardianship of Dinah Dewilde

Dinah Dewilde's father, John Dewilde Sr. died about Apr 1704. There is an inventory for his estate and the administration of the estate is given to Daniel Cox because John owed him money. Henry Dewilde was probably made guardian of Dinah till his death in 1708, at which time, there is a record of Anthony Woodward and Richard Salter being made guardians of Dinah and administrators of John's estate. It seems reasonable that Dinah met John Liming her future husband because she was living with Richard Salter. Richard's daughter Deborah Salter also married into the Liming Family.
