Wife of Jacob Salmon

Some researchers claim that the wife of this Jacob Salmon was Nancy Dowell, but it appears that this may be a confusion with another Nancy Dowell (1768-1813) that married John Salmon (1773-1815) and is listed in Chalkley's Augusta County, Virginia records. Additional research is necessary to determine the identify of the wife of this Jacob Salmon.
