My MARKLAND's originated in Maryland. One brother went to Muddy Creek in Rowan County near the start of the Revolution and the other, Jonathan, with his family went to what is now Washington county, PA and Wheeling, West Virginia. After the Revolution Jonathan's family, minus two sons, went down the Ohio and settled in what is now Boone county, KY (Jonathan is the first will in the Boone County Will Book 1, dated about 1801 (going my memory here)). Mathew's sons stayed past his death in Rowan until the early 1800's and then most of his family moved on to around Boone county, KY. The two branches reunited briefly, then most crossed the river, some settling in Hamilton county, OH and others going a short distance west to settle Switzerland county, IN. One family went straight west and into MO. So to cut to the chase, the Ohio was a major transportation artery for emigrants from PA, MD, western VA, etc. Overland was the chief means of getting there for lower VA, NC, SC, etc. Having made the last statement, I am not excluding the ones who took the river routes up to Nashville and vicinity and maybe as far as the Ohio to western KY and over the Mississippi to Missouri. Myrna, what surnames do you have in Switzerland county?
