I have some family members that went from Shenandoah County, VA to White County, Indiana, which is next to Cass County, in the time frame you mentioned. They never returned to VA. I do not know why they choose White County. Maybe they had friends there?????

Phyllis, my FELLERS (sometimes FELLOWS) ancestors lived in Shenandoah Co. in 1810, went to Augusta Co. (1820, 1830), then went to Carroll Co., IN, which is just southwest of Cass Co. (I think they stayed in Tippecanoe Co., IN briefly on the way) in the mid- to late-1830s. They all remained in Carroll Co. One son did fight for the Union in the Civil War. Other lines came from PA and/or OH to Carroll and Cass counties, IN. I haven't looked into it too much, but I think there was a northern migration route across PA and OH (rivers and roads), and one that came south around the mountains in SW Virginia, then up to the Ohio River and on to north-central IN.
