I, too, would love to see the patterns! Thank you for providing it.

Before the Wayne County rootsweb group was organized as it is today, when we had an absentee coordinator, we tried to collect information about the county. Keeping in mind that the email addresses will probably be changed, I can post the data just for some direction in where you might want to start looking. Remember back in the early days, groups were formed to travel the wilderness. The safety in numbers theory. So I picture someone putting the call out to migrate west, maybe even for the great rush to get land cheap, anyway they came to Wayne County in packs. Some moved on further West, maybe some were stragglers and just couldn't move any farther, but they came and mostly with friends and relatives. If you are interested, and if I can locate it, I will be happy to post this list. Let me know.
