Below is what I found on a google search for Covington Co., Al. Winn Possum Trot Road near Rose Hill...... Source: How Rose Hill Got It's Name (by:Gus Bryan 1973) During the early 1820s a number of settlers began to arrive from Georgia, South Carolina, and surrounding counties. Another road developed in the vicinity, which was called the Possum Trot Road. It ran a little closer to the river than the Three Notch Trail and actually crossed the river a few miles northeast of Dozier and again at Searight. Many people chose to locate along this route, which does not even exist today. Source: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ganews/Alabama/Alclippings5.htm A church in Coffee County is called Possum Trot."
