Thanks a bunch Diana & Lee for the wonderful information posted to the Augusta site, on the Wilderness Road. I want to know more about it since some of my ancestors were supposed to have been mentioned in a book entitled "The Wilderness Road". I don't have the authors name. In some research that I received from another family researcher she mentioned that our ancester, Nancy RENFROs father had land that people had to cross to get to the Cumberland Gap. He made a lot of money by charging for watering cattle etc. along with the Inn & Tavern, that he had. Nancy RENFRO(RENTFRO) was b. abt. 1780 & according to this same researcher married James Hamilton RILEY in VA near the Cumberland Gap abt. 1798, no marriage record has been located, that I know of. Nancy died abt. 1815 in Clay Co. KY. If anyone knows of this book, or any other book on the Wilderness Road, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to a copy, that I could get through inter-library loan. Evidently Nancys father owned property but I have no idea in which county to look for land record. Can someone help me out on this? Thanks. Geraldine in MO
