Good Afternoon, It was morning when I started now it's afternoon. Please reply to the list if you are going to talk about the Old Federal Road that is something I am just getting into and would be very interested in any replys. I just bought a book on it and haven't had a chance to read it. Figured a lot of the families on both my husband Joe's side and my side came down the Old Federal Road into Georgia and Alabama and possibily into Mississippi. Working on Culpeppers, Parkers, Willis, Snelgrove, Snellgrove, Hand, Yance, Sheppard, Austin, McCloud, Bagley, Goldsmith, Stowe, Harrell, Garrett, McGlaun, McGlawn, McGlauhon, McGlohon, and other spellings. Oh yeah the name of the Book I bought was "The Federal Road through Georgia, the Creek Nation, and Alabama, 1806 - 1836". by Henry DeLeon Southerland, Jr and Jerry Elijah Brown. I bought it thru Amazon.com along with the book "Reprint of Offical Register of Land Lottery of Georgia, 1827.. And while I am talking about this book, I found lots of wrong spelling of my McGlauhon clan while searching word for word thru the book for misspellings, so just because you don't see it in the index doesn't mean it isn't there just spelled wrong. My tip for the day. Thank You, Vicki McGlaun Culpepper McGlaughon Mail List Owner Rootsweb Sponsor In a message dated 11/11/1999 6:16:28 AM Eastern Standard Time, ALHENRY-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: << Hello ya'll... While visiting in Henry and Dale Counties a few weeks ago I had the privilege of running up on Homer Jones (in a cemetery, of course) and we touched on the topic of the Old Federal Road. I'm also on the Dobbs County, NC list, where they've been bantering about migration patterns of a group of surnames who originally came from there through SC then on to Henry County - my Alexanders included. I was wondering if anybody have any idea what role, if any, the Federal Road had in the migration of Sumter District folks when they entered into lower Alabama. There is a section of the road marked off on a friend's land map in Cottonton, AL (between Columbus, GA and Eufaula, AL) and is also marked off at an Creek Indian historical site just south of Columbus, a few miles before Cottonton. Is seemed to the follow the Chattahoochee River (separating GA and AL). Was it the main highway for this particular migration? Write to the list, or send an e-mail to valmcginness@email.com. I'd like to hear from you if you know anything about the old road. Val McGinness Alexander Researcher http://members.tripod.com/AlexanderFamily >>
