My Genealogy Hound

THOMAS S. SALISBURY, farmer, P. O. Ripley, was born on the homestead upon which he resides in Union Township February 9, 1818. His parents, Thomas and Susanah (Martin) Salisbury, were among the pioneers of 1800 to settle in Brown County. He was a native of Fayette County, Penn., where he was born in 1781. He taught school until they were married in 1810, and soon after located on the present homestead, where he resided until his death in 1864. He was identified in the township, but sought to live a quiet, unostentatious life. Alexander Martin and Jane (Black) Martin, grandparents of our subject, were among the early pioneers of Brown County, and deserve a merited notice in this work. Thomas S. Salisbury was married, in 1846, to Miss Elizabeth Martin, a native of this county. This union has been blessed with five children, two of whom are living—Anna, wife of R. T. Thompson, residents of Byrd Township, and John N. resides at home. Deceased are Harriet W., Henry M. and Phebe J. Mr. Salisbury lives a quiet, unassuming life, surrounded by the associations and comforts of a pleasant and happy home. He is associated with the Presbyterian Church of Ripley, and is well known and highly respected.
