    2. Hello Mary, You write: << Does anyone know just where the "Kentucky Road" was in 1790 in SW VA? >> My notes: In the land grants and deeds around Dungannon, Scott County, VA., of that period and time 1780-1800+), the deeds show that the Kentucky Road came from Castewood (Castle's Woods at that time) down to Dungannon. Of course at that time, there was no Dungannon but the area was called "Hunter's Ford" and later "Osborne's Ford" because of a ford of the Clinch River here. The road then proceeded northwest over to Hunter's Valley and then southwest down Hunter's Valley to what is today Duffield, Scott County, Va. where it joined up with the Wilderness Road to Kentucky.
