FYI The book "Down The Wire Road" by Fern Angus consists of 157 pages. I have a signed copy of the book since I contributed to it about my grandfather and grandmother, who lived along the Old Wire Road. I noticed that they had a few copies at Amazon. Haven't looked recently. Betty J. (Martin) Henry ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

Ross, I, my mother, her father, his father and his father were born in Lawrence County and the story I heard was that the Trail of Tears went through there. But, I suspect that it was some of the Indians that went through there and not necessarily the actual trail. I'm interested in your findings.

Hello all, Yesterday I looked at the online National Park Service Trail of Tears map which, from after Springfield to the Arkansas line, only shows the Trail, creeks and rivers, and a few longitude and latitude lines. Based on that I concluded that the NPS Trail of Tears National Historic Trail crossed the Stone County - Barry County line a little south of the southeast corner of Lawrence County. Today I obtained a copy of the NPS Trail of Tears National Historic Trail Comprehensive Management and Use Plan -- Map Supplement from the library. I have not analyzed the text and sources yet. However, Northern Route Map No. 53 shows the Trail crossing from Stone County into Barry County a little more than 1/2 mile south of the southeastern corner of Lawrence County. The Trail is just on the north side of Crane Creek as it crosses the Stone County - Barry County line -- about in the middle of the eastern edge of Section 36, Township 26 North, Range 25 West. It continues west-southwesterly to Madry. I am not questioning the other maps and statements which indicate that the Trail of Tears went through Lawrence County because I have not analyzed those sources either. It does seem that there needs to be some more research on this.

Deb, This all makes sense to me. In Webster County just east of Springfield there is a "Panther Hollow". Panther Cemetery is also located there. It is located between Northview (near I-44 and Marshfield) and Rogersville (on Hwy 60). Northview would have been on the "Old Wire Road". Our daughter and son in law lives there in Panther Hollow near Panther Creek. This is land that his great grand parents owned. They will see a panther ever so often at night. They have had one that will come up on their deck. It is a little scary for me but the people in that area just takes it as every day life.

The "Old Wire Road" was orginally the telegraph line from St. Louis to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Toni ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

Hello Linda, This "old Wire Road" how long is that road? Do you know? My Gr Gr Grandfather was killed off that road Sept 10 1860 by bushwhackers some known as town people of Galena Stone county, Clem and other men were marched about ten miles from Galena, to this ole Wire road. They were marched up a hallo and shot. I am going to try this summer to go there. Any help on where this might be. Ellie Warsaw Missouri Bushwhackers; found so far. Alf Bolen Charlie Bird The Chief? William P. Manning (my other Gr Gr grandfather) James P Manning (brother of my GR Grandmother, and son of above Williamm) Gip Bowman S.D Nelson W.M. Anderson Notorious Rebel. -----Original Message----- From: molawren-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:molawren-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Linda Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 7:57 PM To: molawren@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOLAWREN] Trail of Tears We have always understood the trial came by Marshfield,Northview,Strafford on to Springfield on what we call the "Old Wire Road" if your on I- 44 in the Strafford area,near the truck stop, you can see the road.

I have an original survey of one of the earliest state roads in southwest Missouri. It begins in Little York near Springfield and crosses the southeast corner of Lawrence County to somewhere in extreme southwest Missouri. I believe that this is the route the U.S. Army took the eastern deportees across Lawrence County. Although I have had this survey (plus a copy of the original survey for the Springfield-Carthage Road that ran through Phelps) for some time, I have not researched it sufficiently to pinpoint the exact trace on a modern map.

There is a book called "Down the Wire Road" by Fern Angus, with Ted Roller. It's very informative, and I doubt it's expensive. I think it's available from the Field's Photo Archives in Cassville, MO, or you could probably get a copy from Ted Roller. If you have an interest, let me know. jay trace jibberish66@yahoo.com --- Eleanor Prieskorn <dalell@earthlink.net> wrote: > Hello Linda, This "old Wire Road" how long is that > road? > Do you know?
