Notes

Note: CLAY COUNTY
Was established in 1856. It is thought by many to be the roughest county in
West Virginia. Elk river passes through it from East to West, and is the
only outlet for the commodities of the county. There is but little smooth
but little smooth or level land within its territory; and as a natural
consequence, there is not enough of hay, grain and the like, raised within
the limits of the county to meet the actual wants of its citizens. The
people of Clay county spend nearly all their time cutting saw-logs, getting out cooper stuff, hoop poles, &C which are brought down the Elk river in very
large quantities on nearly every rise. I have counted as many as one hundred
and nine rafts, averaging one hundred logs each, as they came down Elk river,
in one day, on a Spring rise. They were not all, however, from Clay, perhaps
more than half of them being from Braxton and Webster counties. Like
Braxton, Clay county is underlaid with immense beds of coal and iron, and
whenever the locking and dam-ming of Elk river is completed, the lands of
Clay county will necessarily become immensely valuable.

Notes for ANDREW JACKSON SALISBURY, SR.:
Information obtain from Renee Bush shows Andrew was born in 1832. I have not yet confirmed his birth day; I believe it was several years earlier than this.
Andrew was a Clay County Scout in the 126th Militia. Just as the Moccasin Rangers was the South's attempt to provide home guard units, the Union's initial effort to provide a home guard in Clay County was the formation of the 126th Militia, Roger Vaughan writing in THE HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY WV, Volume II states that "early response on the part of Unionist in Clay County was the formation of the 126th Militia."
Enlisted dates shown in the Official Records for most members of this unit were 1861-1862. Later the 126th was reorganized into the Clay County Scouts. At the time of that reorganization, many of the Militia Names do not appear as restored because they had joined one of the regular armys, either Confederate or Union. Andrew served from December 1864 to May 30, 1965.
