Anyone on the list have idea on what the routes west were in the first 1/2 of 1800s? Looking for general routes west through Ohio from Berkeley County mainly.

Dan, Check out this website - http://www.mcn.org/2/noel/Westmoreland/MigrationTrails.htm It refers to migration through Pennsylvania, but since Berkeley Co. is so close to the southern PA border, it might shed some light on your question. You might be able to trace the paths to current-day roads by comparing today's map to the one on this site. Good luck, Marilyn G. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Fetters To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 7:13 PM Subject: [WVBERKEL] Migration routes?
