Summary
After the introductory chapters, "South Hermitage" begins the book because the Township's first colonist, Robert Gault, settled there. The next chapter, "Gap", contains the oldest documented house still standing in Salisbury Township, the Francis Jones Hotel, 1728, which started commerce there. The history then continues contiguously around the Township. Each chapter contains the history of the land, families, schools, churches, commerce, and in most cases, a personal account of life in the early days of the Township.Maps of each area: 1864, 1875, 1899, 1977 and 1984, precede each chapter so that readers can see at a glance who lived in a specific place.
