Good Morning Everyone, Got a lot more files cleaned up over the long week-end and ready now to start sending more interesting sites. I'm beginning to feel like I'm glued to this computer, so please.......let me know if any of this is helping. Good luck with your research............ Chris K...............Here we go!!!! Bullit County, KY This site has some interesting notes on the history of early transportation in the county, a page on the Wilderness road, and other neat stuff...worth taking a look at. http://www.stlcc.cc.mo.us/fv/users/afoster/bc/Hist2.htm ============================================== Flatboat Crossing the Missouri, ca. 1870 This link is mainly an old photograph of a flatboat being used as a ferry across the Missouri, but I thought it was neat cause it can help us visualize what it looked like to do stuff like that... http://flash.ausbcomp.com/~bbott/winrr/wrfom.htm =============================================== A Short History of Sistersville This is a short site, mainly one page, about the founding of Sistersville, VA by Charles Wells, who floated down the Ohio River to found this community. http://www.twinbridges.com/html/sisterhist.html =========================================== Found a links page that has links to a number of early ship passenger links, starting with the Mayflower, and including a link to the Olive Tree. There are many other links on this page, so it may be worth bookmarking just because it's a handy page. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/1163/research.htm ================================ There's a web site called Maps of Migration Routes at: http://www. agll.com I haven't visted but it may be helpful. ====================================== Here are some websites you might find useful in your search for migration paths and the roads your ancestors took: Kasper Mansker: Cumberland Frontiersman The story of the life and history of an early settler in the Cumberland settlements. http://home.earthlink.net/~dmansker/Durham.html Excerpt from the Wilderness Road This is evidently the exerpt of a novelization of one family's settlement experience, but it has a nice map of the Wilderness Road and Boone's Road. http://www.tfs.net/personal/gbyron/kin/kentucky/page5.htm The Great Warrior Path from East Tennessee to Southwest Virginia A nice description of this road, which some of the earliest settlers used in part. http://www.tngenweb.usit.com/warpath.htm ................more to follow................
