Knowledgeable listers, if a family were in S.C. about 1744 and by 1800 were in KY., what would be the like path they would have travelled? I'm thinking there couldn't have been more than a few ways to get from S.C. to KY. at that time but I have not been able to find anything. Thanks for any help. *paulette* in SunnyFlorida/researching: Tanner-Newton-Wilkens-Glover: SC-NC-KY-MO-ILL

Dear Folks, Our Rees family went from DE to SC (Spartanburg) in 1745+/-. In 1790+/-, after two grandpas fought in the War and an uncle, as an attorney, helped pick the site for the first Spartanburg Co. court house (the three attys needed a jug of whiskey to fire their imaginations at the spring site), we went to KY (Christian and Trigg Cos), from there, in abt 1813, a bunch of us moved to So. Ill. in and around Perry Co. Rees Creek in Du Quoin is named after the family. I would love to know more about trails, routes, conditions, dates, etc. Rod Rees of Idaho is the most knowledgeable Rees re our early history. I will bcc him with this email.
