Perhaps he was named after his G-uncle, Rabbi Netkin who is buried in Union Field. Is this a family plot?
Rabbi Netkin was not only his G-uncle, but his Grandfather as his dauther Gronah married to her cousin Tzvi Hirsch Salant father of Reb Nussen Nuta.
Reb Nutta authored a biographical book about his G-Grandfather Reb Shmuel Salant:

While he was still living in Jeruslem in 1920, when did he arrive to the US and why, and where did he serve as rav?
I just noticed that he already lived here on canal St. in NYC at that time (1920) see a photo in Page 2 of the above link

YD, thanx for the link… very interesting.
(what are these little orange flags for)
The now famous NY State Senator Steve Saland is claimed to be a direct descendant from Reb Schmuel Salant of Jeruslem, if that is the case he must be a Grandson of this RZH Salant.
Otherwise he is rather not a descendant of R’ Schmuel Salant but from his FIL Reb Yosef Zundel Salant, through the 2nd R’ Yosef Zundel Salant SIL of Reb Velvel Margolis who lived here in the US with his family.
Senator Salands Wikipedia Entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Saland
Unfurtunatley Saland has become famous by casting the decisive vote on June 24, 2011 for New York’s Equality Law, I am sure this is not a Kovod niether for Reb Velvel Margolis nor for Reb Schmuel Salant no matter who is G-Father was, but it would be good to set the record straight on how is he indeed related to the great Rabbi Schmuel Salant.
As per Farshlufen Senator Saland the son of Nuchem son of Menachem son of Reb Yehuda Zindel Salant SIL of Reb Velvele Margolis. That said he’s not a descendant of Reb Shmuel Salanter.

The Rav’s son?
Stephen Saland is NOT a blood relative to Rav Shmuel Salant of Yerushalayim. If anything, he is descended from a son of Rav Shmuel’s father-in-law, Rav Josef Zundel Salant. The male generations following Rav Shmuel are easily traced because he had only one son (Binaymin Benish), who had only one son (Tzvi Hirsh). The line splits at that point because Tzvi Hirsh had three sons (Josef, Rav Natan Nota and Yeshayahu). My grandfather was Rav Natan Nota, who moved to America in 1917, weeks prior to the US entry into World War I. Rav Natan Nota had five sons and one daughter who lived to adulthood. My father, Binyamin Benish, was the 4th son. I am named for his father, who predeceased my birth by six years.
Rav Shmuel was born in 1816. He married at a young age, but when he got into an argument with his father-in-law, the father-in-law told him, “I do not want a son-in-law who argues with me,” and this led to a divorce.
He re-married to the daughter of Josef Zundel Salant, and followed Josef Zundel to Jerusalem in 1838-40. Rav Shmuel had one son and one daughter who lived to adulthood — there may have been other children who did not survive.
If you wish more information, you may contact me.
I am trying to find out my connection to Rav Samuel Salant. heard the name yeshayahu, also berdaky(bodarki) in the US born in jeruslem brothers to my great granmother who was born in jeruslem in about 1867.
Naton Nota Salant – how do I get in touch with you? I am a great, great granddaughter of Josef Zundel Salant…..and a great great neice of Rav Shumel and his wife. ( a lot of greats….) Technically, we’re very distant cousins
You may contact me at NateSalant@Yahoo.com for more information about Rav Shmuel Salant (not “Salanter,” as someone erroneously wrote in an earlier post). You are correct that we would be very distant cousins.

You still have not corrected the opening part of the bio of my grandfather, Rav Natan Nota (or Nossen Nutte). He was not the grandson of Rav Shmuel Salant; rather, he was Rav Shmuel’s GREAT-grandson (Rav Shmuel’s only son was Binyamin Benish, who had only one son, Tzvi Hirsh – Tzvi Hirsh had 3 sons, one of whom was Natan Nota.
Hello,
I was related to Shmuel Salant my grandpa told me. Some where down the like there was a Nate salant and Ruth salant married my great grandfather Joseph Schwartz. Do you have any facts about this you could let me know. The link with the book about shmuel salant that’s at http://www.otzar.org/wotzar/Book.aspx?100460&. I have one of the original copies that I can only find one other of the real thing

You still have the wrong date for my grandfather’s, Rav Nossen Nota Salant’s, passing. He died on 4 Tammuz 1949, NOT 1959.
What does it take to get this corrected? I’ve repeatedly written and nothing has changed.
The photo of Rav Shmuel Salant sitting in a chair was taken 13 days before he died. It one of five photos he posed for during his lifetime, but is the only one in which his real eyes are depicted.
In all of the others, he refused to keep his eyes open, so the photographer did something to “open” them during the development process.
My grandfather, Rabbi Nossen Nota Salant, was the founder of the East Side Kosher Free Kitchen, which services the poor during the Great Depression. As far as I know, he never had his own synagogue, but was more of a community rabbi, constantly serving the people around him and getting very little in the way of remuneration.
My dad had four brothers, the youngest of which (Shmuel) is alive (nearly 91 years old). There is also one sister (Chaya Basha), also alive (83). We know of one additional male child born in 1920 or 21 that did not survive. I have never found out whether it was a late-in-pregnancy miscarriage, stillborn or early infancy death. I do not know if it was given a name nor where it was buried. It is not in the family plot in New Jersey.
