Mary, <<Does anyone know just where the "Kentucky Road" was in 1790 in SW VA?>> It is shown on my Scott Co. map. It is described in detail in Larry Fleenor's book, The Bear Grass. I'm boxing up so I don't have the details. It went from Gate City to Duffield, to Jonesville, and on to the Gap. -eddie . . . get a life. Eternal Life!
