About William Saltar
William Saltar II (1732–1802) was an American politician in North Carolina that represented Bladen County in the North Carolina House of Burgesses and at the first, second, and third North Carolina Provincial Congresses. He was a director, trustee, and commissioner of Elizabethtown and is buried there. During the American Revolutionary War, he was chosen as colonel of the Bladen County militia but declined it. His wife Sarah "Sallie" Saltar spied on a Tory camp led by John Slingsby under the pretense of selling eggs, eggs and socks, or baked goods, later reporting to Thomas Brown and Thomas Robeson Jr. before the Battle of Elizabethtown.
