Hi Doug, They probably travelled the same route taken by Daniel Boone. Old Dan'l blazed part of the trail across the Cumberland Gap into the territory of Kentucky. There are many books written about these trails, one such is "The Great Wagon Road" by Parke Rouse, jr. If your local library does not have this book, they could obtain it for you through Inter-library loan. Many Scotch-Irish, Germans and English followed this trail and countless cities and towns sprung up along the Great Wagon Road. There has never been such a road as this, and it a fascinating story. In the back of this particular book is a vast Bibliography of books studied in order to write this book, so there are many references available. Evelyn My ancestors and a number of related families moved from Hunterdon Co. to the northern Kentucky area (mostly Mason Co.) in the 1790's to early 1800's. I believe they were mostly from the Hopewell area, and the surnames include Gordon, Stout, Runyan, Anderson, Donovan, Corwine, and Hart. I would really like to know something about their actual journey: why they left, how many went at a time, what route they took, etc. Does anyone have anything like this? I've looked in a number of places for this information in both KY and NJ, but no luck so far.
