In 1779 he had land in NY. In 1784 he went to Canada to join his father and brothers.
Hix Salls was a British Empire Loyalist and his wife, Molly Briggs, was a daughter of a French Huguenot lady named Dulait.
In 1685 during the reign of Louis XIV, when the Edict of Nantes was revoked, more than 500,000 Huguenot Proteestant subjects were driven out of France by the ruling Catholics. At that time it is possible that some of the Huguenots who went to England changed their name from LaSalle to Salls.
Some info about Hix Salls letting his house be used for the Nelson Masonic Lodge meetings (he was also a member) without compensation, that he was going to settle with the lodge and instead went rafting on the South River.

Issac Salls, being a Loyalist in 1781, was forced to leave his home in Long Island, NY when his farm and all of his property which he could not carry with him was confiscated by the American Authorities to seek the protection of the British Government and set his face towards the British Province of Lower Canada. He was accompanied by his wife, son & his wife, who had one daughter and one son that was born on the journey.
At Skenesborough (now Whitehall NY) at the head of Lake Champlain the party embarked on the British sloop of war, the Maria, and landed at Ash Island, Richelieu River on June 1, 1782. Guided by friendly Indians they traveled five miles east to what is now Clarenceville, Que. Issac Salls residence was on the spot occupied by Clark's Hotel in 1850 and by the Dussalt Brothers store in 1972.
The place of Issac's birth is not clear, but there is a family legend repeated many times, that he was born in Salisbury England. No supporting evidence could be found in 1970. The Salt Lake City Genealogy Library has recods of Salls families in Worcestershire and Suffolk England but the relationship to the American families has not been established.
