Hi Julia There is a great map site on early Roads - http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/sc/sca_maps.html Click on THE GREAT PHILADELPHIA WAGON ROAD - from SC you could go back north on this road and hit the WILDERNESS ROAD, which branches off South to TN and part branches off to the Cumberland Gap. There are probably other routes. Check the rivers - that was a main mode of travel. Another webpage that lists various roads with descriptions, but no maps is: http://members.aol.com/RoadTrails/roadtrai.html#Natchez Learning the various migration routes is a very important in tracing your family history - also interesting! Good luck Peg Peggy Pike Gordon San Angelo, TX [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 10:44 PM Subject: [TNMCNAIR] 1814 Routes from South Carolina to Middle TN | Can anyone tell me how people would travel in 1814 from SC to middle TN | without going back up through NC to the Cumberland Gap? | | Thanks, | Julia Cooper |
