Seems like I've been chasing the same core group of "early settlers" from one county to the next. Wish they'd "settle" already! Biggest reasons for movement seem to be getting a wife or a job, or responding to Government land going on the market. I bet if I took a map and wrote the date on every county when land came on the market, it would show a path taken by many. Seems some made an occupation out of buying Gov't land and clearing it, then reselling. Hard way to make a living if you ask me!
