The following question and response are the source for the dual location of Salem in both Harrison and Doddridge Counties.

Comment: Are there two Salems; one in Doddridge and one in Harrison, OR did the county lines move at some time?? I've looked everywhere for a map of Salem in Doddridge and cannot find it, but my genie buddy says there are two Salems; one in each county.
Answer from Doddridge County GenWeb researcher: There is only one Salem, West Virginia and it extends into both counties.
