Name and history
[编辑]It is one of nineteen Harrison Townships statewide.[4]
Mad Ann Bailey, a noted frontierswoman, spent the final years of her life living on a farm located near the present day site of Bailey Chapel Church along SR 218. In 1908 her remains were relocated from a plot on the site of this farm to Tu-Endie-Wei State Park in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in commemoration of her husband Richard Trotter's death in the October 10, 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant, an event which spurred her to assume a very active role in Lord Dunmore's War.[來源請求]
