Clay County History Clay County was created by an act of the Virginia General Assembly on March 29, 1858. It was created from parts of Braxton and Nicholas counties. The First Settlers The first native settlers in central West Virginia were the Mound Builders, also known as the Adena people. Remnants of the Mound Builder's civilization have been found throughout West Virginia, with a high concentration of artifacts located at Moundsville, West Virginia, in Marshall County. The Grave Creek Indian Mound, located in the center of Moundsville, is one of West Virginia's most famous historic landmarks. More than 2,000 years old, it stands 69 feet high and 295 feet in diameter. According to missionary reports, several thousand Hurons occupied present-day West Virginia during the late 1500s and early 1600s. They were driven out of the state during the 1600s by members of the powerful Iroquois Confederacy (consisting of the Mohawk, Onondaga, Cayuga, Oneida and Seneca tribes, and joined later by the Tuscaroras tribe). The Iroquois Confederacy was headquartered in New York and was not interested in occupying present-day West Virginia. Instead, they used it as a hunting ground during the spring and summer months. During the early 1700s, central West Virginia, including present-day Clay County, was used as a hunting ground by the Mingo, who lived in both the Tygart Valley and along the Ohio River in West Virginia's northern panhandle region, the Delaware, who lived in present-day eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, but had several autonomous settlements as far south as present-day Braxton County, and by other members of the Iroquois Confederacy, especially the Seneca, one of the largest and most powerful members of the Iroquois Confederacy.

Henry Clay This portrait of Henry Clay by Henry F. Darby hung in Mathew Brady's New York studio in 1860 along with paintings of Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun . Brady sold all three to the United States government in 1881 for $4,000, and today they can be found hanging outside the Senate chamber. Throughout the 1850s Darby frequently collaborated with Brady to create large, majestic paintings based on photographs and daguerreotypes, for which Brady received most of the credit. Contemporary journals advertise elaborate photographs enlarged on canvas and enhanced with color, and it appears that the public accepted such work as a new form of portraiture. But three decades later, when Brady made his sale, he suggested that Darby worked from original sittings, using a long-lost method, saying only, "The material no longer exists to produce these portraits with such life-like fidelity and accuracy as to facts."

Henry Clay Courtesy Library of Congress "I have heard something said about allegiance to the South. I know no South, no North, no East, no West, to which I owe any allegiance. . . . The Union, sir, is my country." Known as the Great Compromiser, Henry Clay successfully balanced sectional interests in a series of national crises, and, some say, delayed the Civil War by at least a decade. Early Years Entering Politics Beginning in 1803, Clay was elected to seven terms in the Kentucky legislature as a Jeffersonian Republican. He was also appointed twice to the U.S. Senate to fill out unexpired terms. In 1810, Clay was elected to the U.S. House, where he served on and off as Speaker over a period of almost 15 years. A promoter of the War of 1812, Clay left the House briefly to help negotiate the treaty that ended that war. In the House, he promoted the American System, favoring internal improvements, a national bank, and protective tariffs. The National Stage As Speaker of the House, Clay promoted the Missouri Compromise of 1820 to maintain the balance between slave and free states. In 1824, he ran unsuccessfully for president. When the close election ended up in the House, he supported John Quincy Adams, who made Clay secretary of state. In 1831, Clay entered the Senate, and opposed President Jackson's policies at every turn. He was then defeated by Jackson in another run for the presidency. Clay resigned from the Senate in 1842, again ran for president, and finally re-entered the Senate in time to throw his considerable political skill and oratory behind the Compromise of 1850, which again prevented extremists on both sides from tearing the Union apart over slavery.

Henry Clay Henry Clay was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams and an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency in 1824, 1832, and 1844. He was one of the most popular and influential political leaders in American history. His genius in the art of compromise three times resolved bitter political conflicts that threatened to tear the nation apart, winning him the title The Great Pacificator. Clay was born on April 12, 1777, in Hanover County, Virginia, to a middle-class family. After studying for the bar with the eminent George Wythe, Clay, at the age of 20, moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where he developed a thriving practice. He was blessed with a quick mind, a flair for oratory, and an ability to charm both sexes with his easy, attractive manner. That he loved to drink and gamble was no drawback in an age that admired both vices. Clay, ambitious for worldly success, married into a wealthy and socially prominent family and soon gained entry into Kentucky's most influential circles. While still in his 20s, he was elected to the state legislature, in which he served for six years, until 1809. Clay established his great reputation in the United States House of Representatives, where he served intermittently from 1811 to 1825. In his first term, he became one of the leading "War Hawks"—the young men whose clamor for hostilities with England helped bring about the War of 1812. Clay was selected as one of the commissioners who in 1814 negotiated the Treaty of Ghent, ending that war.
