    Notes:

    SAMUEL FITZ RANDOLPH

    Samuel Fitz Randolph (1738 - 1825) and his wife, Margaret, lie buried in the Seventh-Day Baptist Cemetery at Salem, West Virginia. They were the founders of the town. Edward Fuller, a passenger on the Mayflower, was one of Samuel's ancestors, aas were early immigrants, Thomas Blossom, Rev. John Lothrop and Edward Fitz Randolph. Margaret shared much of her husband's heritage because she and Samuel were first cousins. The practice of marrying one's cousin was not uncommon in 18th century America. Samuel and Margaret were married on March 25, 1761 at the Seventh-Day Baptist Church in Piscataway Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. They were both born at Piscataway. Samuel was the son of Jonathan Fitz Randolph and Margaret, the daughter of Jonathan's brother, David Fitz Randolph. The Seventh-Day Baptist Church in America is not a large denomination compared to some others. However, in some sections of the nation, it is quite active. The Seventh-Day Baptist Church was an early offshoot from the English Baptists and came about, principally, because of their belief in the biblical Sabbath, which the Hebrews kept on the last day of the week. Samuel Fitz Randolph was a soldier in the War for American Independence. He served as Ensign in the Second Regiment of the Sussex County, New Jersey Militia.

    After the war, Samuel Fitz Randolph prospered. Probably in the hope of speculation, in 1785, he bought eleven hundred acres of land in Pennsylvania. Eight hundred acres was a tract of virgin forest in Northumberland County. The remaining three hundred acres was a farm in the southwestern part of the state. By the year 1789, he and Margaret were living there. The Woodbridgetown Seventh-Day Baptist Church was formed on George's Creek, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, on June 6, 1790. Most of the church members had come from Piscataway, New Jersey. Among the constituent membership were Samuel and Margaret Fitz Randolph. The same year, on November 26, Samuel purchased from Catherine Swearingen two hundred and fifty-six acres. That tract was located in northwestern Virginia along Ten Mile Creek, a tributary of the West Fork of the Monongahela. The purchase price was 132 pounds, 10 shillings and 5 pence, Virginia money. Previously, that land, which included much of the present town of Salem, West Virginia, had belonged to Nicholas Carpenter, an early resident of Clarksburg. He had established a camp there from which he hunted the plentiful wild game. He also used it as a way station in his journeys to the Ohio to buy and sell cattle. Unfortunately, it was on one of those trips to Marietta, with a herd of cattle, that Carpenter and his son were ambushed and murdered by Indians. That atrocity occurred the year after Samuel bought the land.

    The years of the Revolution were particularly difficult for the Seventh-Day Baptist Church at Shrewsbury, New Jersey. Several male members enlisted in the patriot cause and marched off to war. Some became Tories and were unwelcome in the churchh. A few were excommunicated for the awful sin of taking communion with members of the Church of England. The Battle of Monmouth was fought less than ten miles away from their church. And so it was, for whatever the reason, the congregation voted to sell their meetinghouse, in 1789, and join the migration to the west. The church record states that ten families left Shrewsbury. It is thought that others joined them on the way. The Seventh-Day Baptists settled on White Day Creek in Mononongalia County, northwestern Virginia. There they remained for two years. However, they were not pleased with their lands. The Woodbridgetown Church was not far from their settlement on White Day Creek. Samuel Fitz Randolph interested them in hihis tract on Ten Mile Creek about fifty miles away. They removed there and bought lots in the town that Samuel laid out. They also bought farms on adjacent lands. They built a log meeting house for church services and, remembering the fate of the Carpenters, nearby they built a blockhouse for protection from the Indians.

    The town of New Salem was established by an act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia on December 19, 1794. The name of "New Salem" as a post office became "Salem," by order of the Post Office Department, in March 1884. Samuel and Margaret Fitz Randolph expired there and were buried on the hill behind their church. Some of their descendants still attend the Seventh-Day Baptist Church of Salem, West Virginia.
