I'm convinced hundreds, maybe thousands, left Orange County and ended up in Midwest.  My gt gt grandfather, Irwin Rollins was born in 1829 in Orange County (East Orange and Corinth).  He left with a brother in 1855 for Minnesota Territory (Elgin, near Rochester) where they homesteaded.  He kept written journals from 1855 to shortly before he died in 1895.  These are at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul, and tell of dozens who came from Corinth to southern MN.
