9. Re: Migration to East TX Part I [1]
Hi, are you talking about the Spanisa Trail from Natchitoches , la port to Fort Jessup, Lan near Rayliene, near the first Spanish Capitol of Texas , then across the Sabine to Nacogdoches?

13. Old Federal Rd, GA>AL>MS>LA [1]
Now known as the "OLD FEDERAL ROAD," this primary travel route was conceived and built to connect Fort Wilkinson, near Milledgeville, Georgia, to Fort Stoddert, an American outpost north of Mobile, Alabama. Developed from the 1806-11 postal horse path that followed earlier Native American paths, the Federal Road subsequently became a primary travel route for pioneers going to the Mississippi Territory.

18. National trails Part one [1]
I am reading a lot of emails lately with references to "The National Trail." To clarify the location of this for our friends in Ireland, Scotland, and elsewhere including many in the US who are unaware; The National Trail was a major East to West trail from Philadelphia, PA to St. Louis, MO. St. Louis was kind of the 'gateway' to westward expansion and most all wagon trains and excursions embarked from there into the wild west. This national trail eventually became a paved road and even gained the distin
19. Migrations Part 1 One more time [1]
List, this did not copy and paste on the ones I received from the list. I do hope you have not received this for the third time. This is the information Celia sent to the Wise Co.

23. Re: Old Ga. roads [1]
This area of South Ga. (Lowndes, Brooks, Cook Cos.) was opened to settlement by the Old Coffee Road in the 1820's. There is an old road parallel to and North of Hwy 84 between Valdosta and Quitman. In the 1940's, my father (born 1893) told me he remembered a well in the middle of that road and was told as a child that it was a watering point for stage teams running that road from Savannah to New Orleans. A man whose family has owned land adjoining that road since the 1820's confirmed the story. The well
