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?

Linda Dwestcw@aol.com wrote: There were parallel routes on the "Trail of Tears" across southern Missouri and Arkansas, and the northernmost route came across the southeast corner of what is now Lawrence County. 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.
