They left Chatham Co in early September of that year, and arrived in the Ross Co area 6 weeks later in the middle of October. They settled mostly in the area near Richmond Dale in Ross Co and up through Eagle twp of what is now Vinton Co. Some of the families on this trip were: Arledge, Morrison, Pickens, Carter, Dixon, Darby, Graves, Ratcliff, Ray, Wilkinson, Raines, Cox and Brewer. Friends and relatives continued to join them from the Carolinas. If anyone can add any names to this, I'd be glad to know of them. Tacy

Did some of these families stop off in Bedford County, VA where they lived for a while before continuing on to Ross County, Ohio? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2002 12:26 AM Subject: [OHVINTON-L] Re: Move From Chatham Co NC > In a message dated 12/20/02 1:28:08 AM Mountain Standard Time, > [email protected] writes: > > << The move would have taken > place 1803-04 or 1807-08. > >> > Actually, the move was in 1804, and there were about 40 men, women and > children on the wagon train.

My husband's Denny line came from Surry co, NC as did so many of the Gallia/Meigs/lower Vinton co families. For what its worth.
