Hey Sue, Steve Pearson here. I was not able to make this reunion, but did attend the last "cleanup" get together. Whe I was looking at those pictures of the gully, I did not know what it was but thought about the possibility of a road. Do you suppose back then it was a bit wider and not a gully like that? You'd think in rainy weather it be flooded? Also was this the road the Quakers took when they migrated north from Newberry?

Hi, Steve - So sorry you had to miss the Homecoming - it was WONDERFUL! A couple of PEARSON cousins attended, and would have loved to meet you. Regarding the road, Mr. Shealy told us that the Road never was more than a trail, and that even at the time of our ancestors it was more like what we would call a ditch. Rain and weather tend to even out bumps and hollows, so my guess is that the path was once even more of a ditch than it is now. I think Marsha's photos capture the spirit of the Road pretty accurately. I am anxious to verify with Mr. Shealy as to whether the road by Molly's Rock Park was the Great Wagon Road or the Buncombe Road. The Great Wagon Road was the way most travelers arrived at Newberry, while the Buncombe Road tended to be the way they departed for points further west. Either way, our people probably walked this road.

Thanks for the info Sue. It sure is funny how a ditch or gully can be so facsinating huh?
