Subject: Re: Earliest Migration Routes Date: 14-Dec-98 10:26 From: Merle Rummel <cliffr@infocom.com> Here are the papers I've written on them --the Kanawha Way/Kanawha Trace is in my Manuscript/Book on the History of the Four Mile Church of the Brethren (Dunkers -1809) -and was published in our "Brethren Roots" (History Genealogy Quarterly). The Bullskin Road was also published there, and is included in the Clermont County Webpage -on the Stonelick Church of the Brethren (1795). I live here at Boston IN, in the Four Mile Church community -my wife's family. I drive down and pastor the Stonelick Church -in Stonelick State Park at Edenton OH I think I have enough road information for you to easily trace the path of these routes across Ohio. If you have trouble -I can draw them out for you -but you will need to send me an address. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The Kanawha Trace Way Bill New Garden, Guilford County, N.
