Does anyone have a time line on the homestead land opening up that people moved in pursuit of? Most of my lines England>VA>TN>IL>MO>TX. I know the TN to IL was fed land and IL to TX was land from Peter's Colonist's on one of my lines. Understand the England to VA. But I just wonder about some type of date that could be used to trace those lost ancestors. I'm wondering about the late 1700 moves from VA to KY and TN. Angela
