I have a handwritten account of a journey from TN west. It was later, maybe late 70s, but might apply. Trip took about 2 months to Texas, via KY, IL, MO & AK. Here's part as far as MO, listing stops (spelling errors enclosed in ""). Left Sparta, White Co. TN Bankers Hill, White Co Chestnut Mount, Smith Co. Carthage, Smith Co. Dickson Springs, Smith Co. Hartsville, "Trousel" Co. Gallitan, "Sumar" Co. Cross Roads, Robertson Co. Kentucky Keysburg, "Login" co. Trenton, "tod" Co. Pembrook, "Tod" Co. Hopkinsville, "Cristian" Co. Freedonia, "Cristian" Co. "Salum", Livingston Co. Illinois Golconda, Ohio River Vienna, Johnson Co. Anna, Union Co. Greens Old "Fery", Miss. River Missouri Old Jackson, Cape "Jerido" Co. White "Watter", Cape "Jerido" Co. Marble Hill, "Bullings" Co. "Lootsville", "Bullings" Co. Cross Roads, Stodard Co. St. "Fransis" River, Gillians "Fery" "Popular" Bluff, Black River, "Butlar" Co. From there they went down across Arkansas, a little corner of Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and entered Texas at Red River County, and on to Lancaster, just south of Dallas. This second part appears to have been just a bit longer than the first From TN to MO. Hope this helps. Others might know otherwise, but I dont think route would have changer much in 30 years. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cashfam3@aol.com Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 11:21 PM To: TNROANE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNROANE] Migration to Missouri in 1840's...where did it take them? Hello to the list, I am just wondering if anyone on the list is knowledgeable regarding the travel routes out to MO during the 1840's onward? I had guys travelling from the Roane/Meigs Co. border region going out to Cedar and Miller Co. of MO during that time frame..1848-50 and was just wondering what the most common routes were? What part of the state(s) did it take them through? Thanks for any help.

And from there many went on to Oregon. Absalom Hembree was one the Oregon bound members. He was killed by Indians about 10 after arriving in the Willamette Valley. One of his descendants became an early newspaper reporter there and many of his articles can still be found the state archives.
