Salter relations who were found on a list of members of this church: Mrs. Mary Stephens (widow of Linton Stephens), Rebecca C. Stephens (daughter of Linton by his first wife. She married her step-mother's brother becoming Mrs. R. H. Salter), Claude and Emeline Stephens who, influenced by their stepmother, became nuns. Lenora, Alexander and Rosemary Stephens, R. H. Salter Jr., John M. Salter and Agnes Salter.
