JOEL SHREWSBURY, SR.
One of the most noted men who ever lived in the Great Kanawha Valley was Joel
Shrewsbury, Senior. He came from Bedford county to Kanawba in 1813, and
engaged in the manufacture of salt with Colonel William Dickinson, Sr.,
continuing the same until 1856, when the partnership of Dickinson &
Shrewsbury was dissolved. Mr. Shrewsbury died in Kanawha in 1857, at the
advanced age of eighty-four years. He has hundreds of relatives now living
in the county, many of whom are among the wealthiest and most distinguished
of our citizens.
