Thanks for all the input on the road to KY. My family would have been large.....probably two or more families travelling together. I was just thinking that some of the children may have been born somewhere between the Carolinas and KY. since there seems to be a lack of records or evidence. Plus the fact that I have no mother...but lots of kids. Even if I don't ever find the actual birth places, I love to fantasize about their travels. Makes for good daydreaming. *paulette* in Sunny Florida Tanner-Wilkins-Glover-Newton SC,NC,KY,MO,ILL
