Some seem unable to see where they are on the map I sent in the following URL. Magnify it a tad and straight and immediately below the "o" in SC, you will se Columbia, SC. Immediately below and a bit to the left of the "R" in NC is Charlotte, NC. Follow the roads north from Charlotte and on the west (left) road immediately above the dotted line (NC-VA border) you will see Danville, VA. It lies on the early east-west trail to TN that is now US 58 of which I spoke earlier. Salisbury is about at the "o" in NC, though it seems strange that it was not marked, since it was a thriving area long before 1825. Paul http://www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/hargrett/maps/1826m3.jpg
