I'll try to get Ernest to look at the photos and give us his opinion so that we are a bit more sure that Sue and I are assuming correctly. I think that I forgot to mention that the photos are of the Great Wagon Road near NEWBERRY. I'll see if I can add the map to the picasa site that shows the general area where Sue and I took the photos. Marsha [email protected] wrote: > >In a message dated 5/19/2008 8:35:00 P.M.

Hi, Everyone - I was able to contact Mr. Shealy, our Newberry historian, by email. Here is our email "conversation" concerning the road traces we saw near Molly's Rock Park in Newberry: * * * * * * * * * Hi, Mr. Shealy - Just a quick question regarding the road traces near Molly's Rock Park - are they part of the Great Wagon Road or the Buncombe Road? Thanks again for all your wonderful input at the Bush River Homecoming - you made it so special for all of us! * * * * * * * * * From: Ernest Shealy Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 10:42 PM To: Wyatt, Susan D. Subject: Re: The Great Wagon Road / The Buncombe Road Hi! I sent in an answer to the list, but I don't think the message "took." Molly's Rock Road follows the trace of the Old Buncombe Road, the road probably used for the Quakers' exodus. The Great Wagon Road trace is followed by Mt. Bethel-Garmany Road and Henderson's Ferry Road (among others). Hope this helps. Ernest * * * * * * * * * * >From Sue Wyatt: Thanks so much, Ernest - My notes from the weekend were a little scrambled, I think! Do the Buncombe Road and GWR look a lot alike? I guess I never got to see the GWR in the Newberry area... * * * * * * * * * * From: Ernest Shealy Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 9:36 PM To: Wyatt, Susan D. Subject: Re: The Great Wagon Road / The Buncombe Road Hi! Yes, they look a lot alike; however, the Old Buncombe Road is actually a little less ditch-like than the Great Wagon Road. Ernest * * * * * * * * * * Hope this helps everyone get a little clearer on what we saw and what is in Marsha's photos.
