I have been advised by e-mal by the webmaster of the Virginia Department of transportation that the pre-Revolutionary [as I remember] road orders now has its own website. He gave me this URL: _http://vtrc.virginiadot.org/PUBS.aspx_ (http://vtrc.virginiadot.org/PUBS.aspx) As many North Carolinians and Kentuckians (and possibly South Carolinians), and even post-Revolutionary Georgians had Virginia roots, it may be worthwhile doing a search for your surnames. These are a little difficult to differentiate from other publications, but as I remember these are the main authors of these Road Orders: Do a name search for the authors: Pawlett, Nathaniel Mason (sometimes with Howard Newton) Young, Douglas Jay, K. Edward Miller, Ann Brush Boyd, Tyler Jefferson These do NOT pertain to every county in Virginia, but if your people were in colonial Virginia, its worth a search or two or three or four. Pass this info along to your genealogical buddies and cousins. E.W.Wallace
