Your post is 10 years old. I hope you're still around. Elizabeth Pet Salisbury was born 7 Jun 1893 and died 31 Mar 1973 in Floyd Co. In her marriage certificate in 1916 in Floyd Co., KY to Parmer Salisbury (son of Lacky and Kate Stumbo Salisbury) she says her mother is Lissie Austen and her father is William Salisbury. My mother and her brothers and sisters called Pet Salisbury "Aunt Pet" and she was mentioned among the survivors on my G Grandmother Laura Salisbury Halbert's obituary as her half sister. Pet is with her mother in Floyd Co in 1900 and 1910 census. In 1900 they all have the surname "Bently". Elizabeth "Pet"Salisbury is called "Lizzie". In 1910 they use the surname "Austin". Malicia continues using Austin and the children are called Salisbury in the later census. In Malicia Austin's will in Floyd Co and she names her children: W.E. Salisbury, Sarah Salisbury, and Pet Salisbury. A deed later concerning a conveyence of some of the property having belonged to Willam "Bud" Salisbury names Pet Salisbury as his heir. Malicia Austin was born 23 Feb 1864 and died 17 April 1945 in Floyd Co., KY. She was the daughter of Lucy Bently (1843-1867) and Andrew Jackson "Jack" Austin born Virginia in 1840 and died in Ft Douglas, Illinois on 28 Jan 1864. She was raised by her mother's parents.
