Daniel Morris is associated with my Salisbury family. He came from
Ireland. I am trying to find out about him which may help with my
search for the Salisburys, but I have only info from the 1850 census in
Missouri on Daniel. My Irish ancestors on whom I have more info are
the Gregory and Marshall families. My husband's Irish ancestors are
the Carlos family of County Roscommon.
