Notes
Birth
Possibly Bandon, County Cork, Ireland; or Vermont====
All census records say Ireland but her homestead application says Vermont. Perhaps she couldn't get the land if she wasn't a US citizen.

Mrs Salisbury was the mother of Richard Barrett. Another daughter Mrs. Biesanz, of Winona, Minn, and five sons survive her. She had been ill for some weeks, and her death was not unexpected. She was a devout Methodist, a truly good Christian woman, and a kind mother.
