Footnotes:
1. We have gone over this and identified the owner of the bible [from the notations - my father - my son]. He is Isaac (7), Joseph (6), Jacob (5), Isaac (4), Abraham (3,2), Nathaniel (1). We feel that this identification should be included. The people included are primarily the children and grandchildren of Joseph (6) and Lydia Martin plus a few others. Howard and Jean Merrill

2. The MA vital records for Salisbury, MA give the m. date for Albert of Haverhill to Sally Ann
Quimby as 1852 Oct. 13 in Salisbury. All other vital records agree with those posted by
