Isaiah Benjamin Salyer, Sr. was born in 1752 in Rutherford County, N. C. to Zachariah Benjamin Salyer, Sr. (1730-1798) and Elizabeth Dunn (1735-1799). NOTE: "Isaiah Salyer of the second generation was a Tory, was forced to hide; also changed his name to Still - and when his name was demanded, he said I am Isaiah Still." Information on his use of the name Still can be found on Pages 40, 42 and 43 of The Salyer Family by Elisabeth L. W. Salyer.
He married Mary McCarty (1752-1821) NOTE-Sometimes the McCarty family did not put the "Mc" in front of their name, so records may indicate Mary Carty.) Isaiah married Mary in 1772 in Copper Creek, Russell County, Virginia.

(1778-1854), Nancy Salyer Jackson (1782-1850), David Salyer (1785-1845) NOTE-Twins were common in the Salyer Family and David was a twin to Brother Jonathan, Jonathan Salyer (1785-1845), Mary Salyer (1787-1867, Isaiah Salyer, Jr. (1795-1865), Margaret Peggy Salyer Carty (1797-1850), Matilda Salyer Jackson (1801-1881), John Salyer (1804-1881), Jemima Salyer Castle (1805- ).
