Devisee  Sallie's father James Hayter died in 1859. His will left Sally and her sister Dorcas equal interests in the tract of land on which James lived. He described it as south of the center of the Main Rd. [in Washington Co.] and stated that he had purchased it from Lewis Toncray. James exempted 5 acres between the center of the main road and the Virginia and Tennessee Rail Rd. James appears to have left each of his children land or cash worth about $2,500; he noted that the parcel left to Sally and Dorcas was worth $5,000.2 
Cens-186026 Oct 1860  The 1860 census found Dorcas living with Richard and Sallie in Lebanon where Richard then served as Clerk of the Russell County Court. Two children had been added to the family, Daniel (8) and Thomas (5 months). Richard owned land and personal property each valued at just under $10,000.4 
Cens-187029 Sep 1870  By 1870 Richard and Sallie had returned to Washington County where they were enumerated farming in Abingdon township adjacent to Sallie's brother James E. Hayter. Richard still owned property worth $7,000 but his personal property was now valued at $700. Daniel W. Lynch (17) and Thomas A. Lynch (10) were again part of the hosuehold.5 
Widowed6 Jul 1871  Richard died the following summer. 
Cens-188017 Jun 1880  In June 1880 Sallie was enumerated as the head of her own household. Son Daniel (25) ran the farm and son Thomas (17) attended school. Daniel was noted as married. Enumerated after him was 19 year old Matilda Lynch whose relationship to Sallie was listed as "daughter". Since she was also listed as married, and had not appeared in Sallie and Richard's previous census enumerations, it appears she was Daniel's wife. The household also included 33 year old Taylor Hughes (described as "nephew") and 26 year old Louisa Hughes (described as a "niece").6
