The Salt surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

SALT. This surname is very common in Staffoi'dshire, in which county there is a village so called. In 110(5, it is written Selte. Lib. Nig. Scacc. In the reign of Henry III. Ivo de Saut held one knight's fee in Saut, of the Barony of Stafford. Subsequently Hugh de Salt held Salt of Philip de Chetwynd. From this tenure, and from the resemblance of the arms, it is probable that Salt was a cadet of Chetwynd. In the Visitations of Staftbrdshire there are pedigrees of this family, from whom descend Thomas Salt, Esq., jun., M.P. for Stafford, and William Salt, Esq., F.S.A.
