Research continues as time rushes on to locate the descendants of Catherine Smith Salisbury, daughter of Joseph Smith Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith. At the present time there is no family organization or unified family unit for Catherine. Early history books of the LDS and RLDS churches provide short glimpses of a select few episodes of her life and struggles with the early persecution of the members of the church generally. Combining these stories, a beautiful history of this courageous mother, daughter, and sister will be compiled. Contacts must be made to accomplish this effort. Those descendants of this noble ancestor may contact the family representative for Catherine: Marjorie Porter, 2360 West Old Highway Rd., Morgan, UT 84050. Phone: 801-876-3265 or e-mail marge@catherinesmith.org.
