This John Salmon, is in my Salmon line. He has either two brothers named Joel 
& William Jr. Salmon. Or William is the father Of John & Joel Salmon. My ggg-
grandfather lived on their land, his name Was John Salmon born 1790, and he 
married Agnes Torian in 1822, they sold their land and moved to Christian co 
Ky in 1832. I am still needing anyone who can tell me more on these men,
