I saw an article listed in the Generations Heritage Quest Newsletter dated April 11, 2000 about migration roads to Ohio - it is a short article well worth reading. The newsletter states: "Getting Stumped on Zane's Trace" by Award-winning Author, WILLIAM DOLLARHIDE Do your ancestors have you stumped? Well, it could be that some of your ancestors were stumped too - on Zane's Trace. Here is a bit of history on the earliest wagon roads your ancestors used to travel to their new lands in the Ohio Country. http://www.genealogybulletin.com/HTML/current.html By the way, the booklet that is advertised at the end of that web page, "Map Guide to American Migration Routes 1735-1815" has been extremely helpful to me. I recommend it for your reference library. There are a lot of Fultons is Ohio. Florence and I are trying to locate a "lost branch" whom we think may have migrated to Ohio with some neighbors from Orange Co, New York (Comfort, Crawford, Bookstaver, Dirkee, Barkley, Fraser) between 1810-1820 or a little later because land was cheap. We think his name was Elander Fulton, b. 19 Feb 1788 at 116 Washington St, Manhattan, NY. But Elander may have been a nickname or corruption of Alexander Fulton. This Fulton line just disappears into thin air, but several neighbors are documented as going to Ohio, so we are trying to learn where the neighbors settled in Ohio. The reference books help us to better understand what land was available and how the travelers reached Ohio. Perhaps this will help us to locate our "needle in the haystack". Roberta R.
