Taylor, Sr. They presented this information to the South Carolina Genealogical Society's Twenty-Eight Annual Meeting on October 10, 1998. Thank you Mr. Vandergrift and Mr. Taylor for allowing this information to be placed on the SCGS Web Page. Road 254 crosses Coronaca Creek, and the original Path is visible behind Tabernacle Cemetery - see state marker on 254. The original bed is visible for a long stretch just before the town of Cokesbury on county road 257 - Ashbury Road - on the left. It runs behind Cokesbury College. Continue to Hodges; the Path ran in that area between Hodges and Donalds. In Due West - DeWitts Corner - a Cherokee Path blue Indian-head marker is still "is situ" and is quite attractive, after twenty years. A state marker by an A. R. P. Church explains the way. Proceed north on state road 20; the original bed is on the left and right for several miles, best at the stream crossing at the county line where the 1777 Treaty of DeWitt's Corner was signed - with the Cherokee making the usual sacrifice of land. Continue to Craytonville and turn left onto state 252 which becomes US 76 and 178 to and through Anderson which was the main trail. Through Anderson, and on to Pendleton still on the trail. Out of Pendleton on US 76 (SC 28) stop at the Old Stone Church and Cemetery. On to Clemson and north on state road 133 toward Six Mile. Turn left onto state road 157 and find Gap Hill Church; the original bed is just in back of the church. At the end of the road the Path remains are visible coming down the steep hill and leading to Fort Prince George. Today a play area and boat landing cover the site; the fort is under water. A mulberry tree was planted on the site; it remained into the 20th century.
