Hardesty's History of Meigs County:
Page 280/281, Salem Twp
This is the southwest corner township of the county and contains 42 full sections of land. It is bounded on the west by Vinton county, south by Gallia county and north and east by Columbia and Rutland townships respectively. . .
Salem township was organized in 1814. It then included Wilkesville, and was a part of Gallia County. The first election for township officers was held April 20, 1814. Felix Grimes was elected one of 3 trustees and one of 2 fence viewers. The next year, Wilkesville being organized as a separate township, it became necessary to choose another . . .[however, Felix was not named as one replaced - did he not live in Wilkesville? bb]
Felix Grimes and Adam Long were neighbors near Dexter run. Felix Grimes being implicated in the Irish rebellion of 1798, left his native country and came to the United States, in company with Blennerhasset, who was a cousin of Mrs Grimes. The exact date of his settlement in Salem is uncertain. Mrs Grimes died shortly afterwards; it is said she was the first person who received Christian burial in Meigs county. Her remains lie on the farm of Mr Haskins, about a mile from Danville.
