This doesn't give any times but it does show the spirit of these early pioneers "The fainthearted might shudder at the adventuresome spirit which was still burning bright in the Groovers; who after a century in the approximate area of their settlement upon reaching America, would uproot and relocate in regions far from their original homestead. The Groovers who migrated to Thomas and Lowndes Counties were of this breed. These bold pioneers had no guarantee of success or support when they divested themselves of their property, holdings and friends and relatives and moved on. We have here a breed of pioneers embarking upon a New Land with barely any law as there were few white settlers in this area; an area, the title of which had only recently in1818 passed from the Federal Government to the State of Georgia. John Groover, Jr., his brother Solomon and their families were some of the stout hearted who were willing to leave their established homes and farms in Bulloch and Bryan Counties and brave dense forests, wild animals and treacherous indians who still frequented the area in hunting parties." ----- Original Message ----- From: "John M OMelia" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 5:24 PM Subject: [GEORGIA] Early Time Travel > Early travel in GA during the 1700`s and 1800`s took a lot of time and > several miles between point A and point B. > > Is there anyone privy to old diaries that pointedly describe how many > miles one could make in a day?

Delilah, If your Groovers are the same as mine, the Salzberger brothers John and Solomon aren't yours. I think your immigrant Peter Groover is the one who landed in NC instead of the one who came to Georgia. Sorry.
