    1. Fw: More Ohio Roads
    2. Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman
    3. From: Merle Rummel INTERNET:[email protected] - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Yes -I'm still working on the migration roads -- here are a couple you have identified already I think: The Shore Road -went from Buffalo (actually Fort Niagara on Lake Ontario) to Erie PA to Cleveland, to Toledo. There it connected with the Bullskin Trace and went to Fort Detroit. It continued west from Toledo across northern Indiana to Fort Dearbourn at Chicago. It seems to be followed very closely by US 20. This was a major migration road across northern Ohio. The Mahoning Trail went from the Ohio River at East Liverpool to Lake Erie at Cleveland. It follows the route of OH 41 and was a major migration road into northern Ohio. Another access road was the Shamokin Trail. It went from New York to Erie. It is followed by US 6 most of its way across the Pennsylvania Mountains, but it curved north to Erie PA (PA 97 and US 19). Both the Shamokin Trail and the Shore Road were later roads, not becoming available until the Iroquois Indians were subdued long after the Revolution, near the time of the War of 1812.
