I'm afraid I don't have anything on William Jr or Sr. Do you know if
                     they are linked to Edward Salter Sr who was involved in several land
                     deeds in Pitt Co NC. in mid to late 1700s? I don't know his dates, but he
                     married Anne Bonner who died in 1791. They had at least one son,
                     Edward Jr and at least one daughter, Elizabeth.
Searching for husband of Anne BONNER, daughter of Thomas and
                     Sarah BONNER who married a SALTER in Pitt Co, NC. Their children
                     were: John SALTER, Susannah, Sara, m. a HILL, Abigail, m. a
                     BLOUNT, Elizabeth, m. a BLOUNT. I think she married Edward
                     SALTER Jr, but there were multiple Anne SALTERS. Thanks.

An Elizabeth Snoad gives 3 lots in Bath to her son John Fry in 1745.    The wife Elizabeth of John Snode's '43 will is probably the widow of Thomas Fry & mother of John Fry, and therefore probably not the mother of John Snode's children.
