There is nothing in writing to connect the Great Wagon Road with the old Indian path from the Shallowford on the North/Main Yadkin River where it crosses into Yadkin County from Forsyth County and then travels across the southeastern tip of Yadkin County into Davie County which it traverses in the northwestern corner to enter Iredell County not far from a crossing of Hunting Creek in the Calahaln area of Davie County. I have carefully searched the minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter SsiosofRowa e s n n County from the earliest entries of 1753 and found nothing to indicate that the route from the Shallowford to Sherrill's Ford was ever called anything but the Old Georgia Road. A search of grants and deeds by � V m Mrs Frances Harding Casstevens has also failed to locate a reference to this o, 2 route as the Great Wagon Road. d 3 o This matter has been discussed at length with Miss Flossie Martin, the Z 0 lz� Doyenne of Davie History, and with Mr James W Wall. the Historian of Davie County; I have also discussed tfi a route with members of the Anderson family. The Old Georgia Road, as it is still called, ran past or through their various ti properties in the Calahaln area of Davie County. Neither Miss Martin, nor Mr Wall, nor any of the Andersons have ever heard the Old Georgia Road des- r cribed as the Great Wagon Road. 4 V . While we all hail the renewed interest in the Great Wagon Road, and all of those Indian paths that became colonial roads when "improved" we regard it as impossible to label the Old Georgia Road as the Great Wagon Road. Cordially yours, k 60sk WA&7 • County public Do( Mo&'Sville, NC Boone Farm Road Route 1 Box 365A Mocksville,NC 27028 15 March 1988 Dear Lila: I completed a Boone locations map of Davie County, and then decided you might also like a look at the route from Exeter Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania to the North Carolina Piedmont - known to present-day historians as - THE GREAT WAGON ROAD - also called the Philadelphia Road, and known to my father as "the Cart Road". the route goes across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and into North Caro- lina - which is a lot of state maps! I'vere-traced the route, even to locating the ford of the Pototmac River, just south of Shepherdstown - it was first called "Pack Horse Ford", then Blackford's Ford and finally Boeteller's Ford - the name it had during the Civil War, when Confederate Forces used it after the battle of Antietam in September 1862. Looking at it, I was tempted to attempt the ford myself, but my clothes were not the sort one fords a river in..... I hope you can fit another trip to the Forks of the Yadkin in to your class reunion & etc. From Fred Walker, I've learned the original (John Boone site) of the John Boone cabin - moved by Joel Penry to the site where it was photographed! C1Qse by the original site is a still -flowing spring (THE John Boone Spring!) And there is much more.....

Hendricks 132 Valley Street N.E. Abingdon. VA 24210 June 26, .1983 Miss Edith M. Davis 602 Spruce Bristol, TN 37620 Dear Miss Davis: The delay in answering your letter of June 7 is regretted, In touch of the time since then I've been as f ar as Iowa in one direction and North Carolina in the other. The subject of the Wilderness Road is close to a related matter that is of great importance to me -- the Daniel Boone Trail. I've made prolonged and extensive studies of the Boone trail(s). f�lCke JNG AN!} The beginnings of the Wilderness Road vary w th the teller., . The most authentic reference is a"s"k "Tfie WA erness .load" by Robert Kincaid. It is interesting to read, In mmu_c_h, of his book Kincaid delineates the road as starting at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as a jumping off point Cat that point in time) into the vast wilderness that today would lead past the neighborhood of present York, PAg Hagerstown, My Winchester -Roanoke -Abingdon, VA. To my knowledge, people along that route did not refer to it as "the ' wiVerness road." After the packhorse trails were upgraded for horsedrawn eve icles the rds in our art of Virginia, refer d the road people, and court records p g A - as The Gra�t Road in referring to the route up the Shenandoah rind, in lo foIwsng -the alley of Virginia across the James and Roanoke Rivers down the Holstons past Bristol into Tennessee. Another reference is "The Great Wagon Road" by Parke Rouse,, Jr. He shows The Philadelphia Wagon Road passing through Lancast er- IIagerstoivn-Winchester-Itoanoke. Thence directly south past Salisbury and Charlotte in NC to Augusta, GA. His map has a dotted line from ,,Roanoke past Wytheville and Abingdon thence directly west through Cumberland Gap which he designates 'The Wilderness Road." But toward the end of his scholarly book Kincaid acknowledges that the 'TRUE" (the accent was his also) Wilderness oa�d started at the Long Island at Kingsport or, more correctly, where the Flock house was built AFTER Boone cut the road r- located 2 or 3 miles north of -a the Long Is�and9 ♦0. V/*e G/ -V,/ fF• 3 7 When Boone was dispatched with has 30 axemen to cut a ackhorse trail to Kentucky, in response to the just ended treaty wAh the Cherokee Nation, in 1775, there were well defined trails or "roads" from Sycamore Shoals to just past the Long Island, Multitudes soon followed, and in a surpris' We short time a newly established newspaper in A5 Kentucky publish, road through the wilderness would now accomodate wagons. That may �iave been the beginning of the title Wilderness Road; e Maps and ofTer references are enclosed. If I may add further, please do not hesitate to let me know..

Written history suffers from the lack of corroborative evidences, mechanical error in the spelling of names, the tabulating of data and the record ink o f dates and Atatistics. r 1 Gral history (word of mouth) is impaired because of peoples' faulty memories biased or the interminFling of tangential events eand iccn ced viewpoints, folklore, trP d is tory Seldom can any two witnesses, as primary sources, agree wholly cn the facts and implications involved in an observable event. The eyes, ears and mentality of any two persons do not see, hear or interpret identically. And it may be that there are as many errors to be found in slanted interpretations as in errors about facts. But the lovers of history, despite its lack of perfection, are amply rewarded by information gained, impressions received, And the human situation understood. ... P. D. Pro -one 00 THE GREAT WAGON ROAD THE ROUTE TRAVELED BY THE FIRST SETTLERS IN THIS AREA In areas of Stokes County one may still see parts of this trail used by first settlers in Stokes County. Long before the establishment of Stokes County there was a path or trail used by explorers entering this region, which in records as late as 1733 is described as "unfit for human habitation, inhabited only by the wild beast." The Indian Village was deserted, the only people here were the Cherokee and Catawaba Indians passing through on their way to trade with tribes to the north. Hollingsworth's History of Surry County tells of two Indian Trails through this region, one going west to east, north of the Saura Town Mountains, the other going north to south through the region. Logic tells us that since the Indian was walking he traveled the path of least resistance, and it is more than likely that the first white explorer's in this region used these Indian Trails for travel and that these Trails were also used by the first Settlers coming here. By checking maps, deeds, land grants, photos and old tales we have been able to learn a great deal about The Great Wagon Road. What we call The Great Wagon Road has had many names since it was first recorded. "The Road to Philidelphia" 1755, "Bryants Road" 1755, "The Upper Road" 1755, "The Kings Road" 1770, The Bad Road" 1777, "The Great Road from Rockingham to Salem" 1791, "The Wagon Road" 1808, "The Middle Road", "The Old Road", "The Ridge Path", "The Virginia Road", "The Road North", and "The Great Road", it seems that the name depended on the time, place and the persons involved. The route of this Great Road can be found in "Colonial History of Rowan County", by Samuel James Ervin, Jr. "Beginning in Philidelphia and going to Lancaster Pa., then to York, Pa. on to Winchester Va., along the Shenandoah Valley and Crossing the Fluvanna River at Looney's Ferry, then across the Staunton River, down the 2 Staunton River to the Blue Ridge Mountains, then south, crossing the Dan River below the Mayo, then running southward to near the Yadkin River, then south, crossing the Yadkin at the Trading Ford near Salisbury. A distance of 435 miles and taking 4 to 5 weeks to travel." The "Upper Road" also called "The Kings Road" and "Road to Virginia" entered what is now Stokes County in the northeast corner at a point between Crooked Creek and the Rockingham County line, down the Ridge southeast to near Sandy Ridge, then east to near Dodgetown, then south near present day Dodgetown Road, crossing the Dan River below the mouth of Snow Creek, near Carmichaels Creek, thence east down the Ridge line on the west side of Dan River and east side of Mill creek to Walnut Cove, thence south, staying on the north side of Town Fork Creek, crossing Town Fork approximately 200 yards below the mouth of Buffalo Creek, then crossing Buffalo Creek and following the Ridge line between Town Fork Creek and Buffalo Creek southwest into Rural Hall, thence south into Bethenia. The Dan River crossing was known as Davis Ford and Pitcers Ford in later years. The "Middle Road" or "Bryants Road" is shown on 1755 map as being east of the Upper Road, running through Rockingham County and reaching the Dan River at Nobel Ladd's place, this map shows no crossing at the Dan at this point, but a later map shows a road crossing at Ladd's Ford, just north of the present Highway 311 bridge, moving southwest along the route of Highway 311 into Walnut Cove, joining there with , these routes as the Great Wagon Road, I have found property deeds along this route, i X the "Upper Road" and moving on up Town Fork. 15 J In 1755 there had been establshed a settlement along the waters of Town Fork ut -1 J Creek, extending from below Walnut Cove, upstream to west of Germanton, known as � 4 9 the "Town Fork settlement" The Great Road route was through the settlement. LU Both these routes were traveled by the first settlers coming into this region, both carried wagon traffic, but I have found no records of any type that refer to these routes as the Great Wagon Road, I have found property deeds along this route, i 3 west of Walnut Cove on into Bethenia, west of the point where the two roads came together, that do call for "The Waggon Road". These deeds are after 1800. This would lead one to believe that the "Great Wagon Road" extended from the junction of the upper and middle road and west into Bethenia, thence on south, and that east of the junction point each road went by another name. Shortly after we find the "Virginia Road" and "Bryants Road" we find yet another road coming into this region from the east, this was the "Quaker Road" or "Lower Road", entering Stokes County in the Belews Creek area, following the present day Highway 65 route, staying on the south side of Town Fork, crossing Lick Creek, Oldfield Creek and joining with the "Wagon Road" at Buffalo Creek at Germanton, following the Wagon Road to Rural Hall, then turning north into the Sauratown Mountains, through what we know today as Ouaker Gap, on into the Westfield area. In Bethenia, the Wagon Road met with another northern route, known as "The New River Road", "Road to the Hollows", "Hollow Road" and later as "The Old Stage Road", this route went from Salem north, following near the present path of Tobaccoville Road, and Highway 52 from King, past Stonehead or Pilot Mountain, on the east side, thence on into the Blue Ridge Mountains. This route was used by Settlers to travel into the Mountains for hunting, where Bear and Deer were plentiful (Moravian Records) then on to the New River. In 1746 there were reported to be 300 fighting males in all of Rowan County, which included Stokes, Surry,Wilkes, Yadkin and other counties at that time, yet in a few short years this number of fighting men had increased to over 3000, this. Ln U UY tells us that there were a great many wagon's moving along "The Road", and as time m ::f went by the traffic became even heavier. CL v 60 By 1770 the travel time from Philidelphia to the Yadkin had been reduced to W :9 59 2 weeks, the loads were heavier and the wagon's more frequent. This tells us that the routes into this area were constantly being relocated, better routes were found, FAI hills not to steep, swamps and low places were avoided and better stream crossings were found, roads were relocated then as they are now, always booking for an easier and quicker way to get from one point to another. One thing we can be sure of, The Great Wagon Road came across Stokes County and was used for many, many years, it is the route of some of our present highways, no better route has been found. There are many places where one may still see this Great Road, fords still exist, road cuts 10'feet deep are visable. As a boy I walked to school on parts of this Wagon Road, it is still there, we played with an old buggy in another part and I dug a cave in the roadbank of Mountain Road, I can walk several miles and stay on "The Great Wagon Road", the path used by some of my early ancestors to reach the region we now know as Stokes County.

PUBUC LIOR " WCKSVILLEs W- 1- Route of travel in 1753 by the Moravian into this region was in west " southwest direction. Line on map indicates this direction. 2. Moravian records indicate 25 miles traveled from the Mayo to the Dan, this is appx. 23 air miles. 3. Deeds on record refer to The Old Road , Morgan Bryant's Road and The Old ridge Path near Buffalo and Little Buffalo Creeks. 4. Records indicate that after entering North Carolina moving towards the Dan River these early travelers crossed many creeks , this would indicate they did not travel along the ridgeline. 5. All early maps indicate Dan River crossing was below mouth of Flat Shoal Creek,and above the big bend of the river. 6. Records state that roughest part of journey was encounterd after crossin the Dan Rimer. Today phis is still some of the roughest terrain in Stokes. 7. Mr, Altem refered to in Moravian records may have been Mr. Haltman, who is on record in 1763, land on Town Fork Creek.Haltman sold this land to Jam^s Davis and there is no later entry in the deed books. So 1808 deed to Grey Bynum homeplace calls for line on Waggon road, this property*AAs located appx. 22 miles NINE of Germanton on thr north side of Town Fork Creek. $. Town Fork Creek and Buffalo Creek crossed just east of Germanton, one side of Buffalo crossing still evident. This route used by some of our first settlers followed in many areas old Indian Trails,used by the Saura and Cherokee and other tribes, these trails following the paths of least resistance often followed along streams, this required marW crossings of smaller streams. Logic should tell us that to avoid these many stream crossings wagon travelers moved their route to the ridgelines where possiable,thus hvoiding the streams. This also afforded better travel in bad weather. Therefore we might assume that in a few short years after this first route was used relocation of the route had taken place many times,always searching for a better route of travel. We know that there were three (3) fords across the Dan in these early times. THEORY- The first road thur the land that became Stokes County entered this area near Crooked Creek,near the point where Amostown Rd* crosses the state line, S I SW to Dan river, crossing at a point below Snoe Creek, thence to the Town Fork near Walnut Cove, un the North side of Town Fork, crossing near Germanton, then following the ridgeline betwee Town Fork and Buffalo cr. SISW to Rural Hall thence on to the Yadkin and Shallowford Crossing. . Later mps indicate a route staying East of the Dan, following the ridgeline a few miles downstream, then crossing the Dan appx. 3 miles downstream of the old crossing, this later crossing was at Ladd's Ford, thence SgSid joining with the first route near Walnut Cove.

C. 27055 January 10, 1986 VHvIt L0. PUBLIC LIBRARY_ MOGKSVILLE, IAC THE GRBAT PHILADSGPHIA WAGON ROAD The history of the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road is fairly well documented through Pennsylvania and Virginia. Also, the route from the Virginia line through Stokes County and on to Bethania has already been documented and plotted. What remains yet is to determine the route from Shallow Ford through the southeastern corner of Yadkin County, through Davie County, and into Salisbury 0) or father westward into Georgia. The earliest routes in North Carolina were made by the buffalos, and these trails were followed by the Indians. Major Indian trails crisscrossed the state from north to south and from east to west. Those running east to west crossed the Yadkin River at some point. The Yadkin River is fordable at several places: White Rock Ford (Crutchfield); Yellow Bank Ford (Donnaha); Shallow Ford (Huntsville); Irish Ford, Cowan's Ford (near which is Island Ford, an island in -the river consisting of approximately 100 acres)(Rumple, p. 186), and the Trading Ford (in Rowan County). The Saponi Path crossed the river at the Trading Ford; the Tutelo path (the old Cherokee path) crossed the river at the Shallow Ford (and/or Yellow.Bank Ford, possibly the later Upper Mulberry Fields Road, and still later present-day Highway 67). Both these routes were later to be used by the settlers coming into North Carolina from Virginia, Pennsylvania, and other northern areas (Figure 1, Corelia Camp., ed. Influence of Georgraphy upon Early North Carolina. Raleigh: Carolina Charter Tercentenary Commission, 1963, Fig. 1.1). 1700s "Map of Indian Tribes of Carolina about 1700" in Lefler and Newsome, No Carolina: The History of a Southern State, p. 28, shows Indian trails through the Piedmont. Running from South to Northeast, and West to East are the Old Cherokee Path and the Tutelo Path, crossing Yadkin County in the northern part of the county (approximately where Highway 67 is today). The Catawba Trail is shown running North and South. From West to East is the Trading Path, crossing the Catawba River then East crossing the Yadkin River and intersecting with the Catawba Path from South Carolina East of the Yadkin in present day Davidson County (Figure 2). A modern map (1907) showing the "Routes of the Principal Explorers" traces Daniel Boone's route in 1755 from Virginia through Mt. Airy, Yadkin or Davidson Counties, through the Charlotte area to South Carolina and on to the east coast of Florida. Whatever source this map was compiled from does seem to indicate that a route existed very early from Virginia to South Carolina and other southern states (Figure 3). 1733 The Mosley map (1733) shows only the "Indian Trading Road from the Cataubos and Charokee Indians to Virginia." No other trails or roads are shown (Figure 4). 1734-1765 There was "a strong tide of emigration" into North Carolina during the administrations of Governors Johnston and Dobbs (1734-1765), coming from two opposite directions. While one route was from Pennsylvania down through Virginia, another route was from the South. Settlements were formed along these routes in both the Carolinas and in Georgia (Hunter, History of Western North Carolina, p. 8.). DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY, MOCKSVILLE, NSC. -P a 2 Thomas Spratt (often spelled Sprot or Sproat) is said to have been the first person to cross the Yadkin River with why. He had intended to settle in the country between the Yadkin and the Catawba rivers, but because of Indian raids, he settled 1 1/2 miles south of Charlotte. The first Mecklenburg court was held•at his house. His daughter, Ann, is reported to have been the first child born in Mecklenburg County. (Hunter, p. 77) 17_ There were very few settlers West of the Yadkin before 1750 (Ramsey, History of Rowan County, p. 23), but by 1748 there was a sufficient number in the territory that later became Anson county (which included Rowan, Surry, and other counties west of the Yadkin) to form a new county [Anson] because of the "badness of the ways" and the great distance those settlers had to travel to reach court in Bladen County. (Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 5, P. 889). 1747-1748 While the Davie County Historical Map (Figure 5) shows the Bryan Settlement in the area east of Farmington and the southern part of Yadkin County, Robert W. Ramsey in Carolina Cradle extends the area called "The Bryan Settlement" to include all the --earliest settlers in and around the Shallow Ford area (Ramsey, pp. 37-37): George Forbush (at mouth of Deep Creek); Samuel Davis (across the Yadkin River in present-day Forsyth County); Edward Hughes (at Shallow Ford on the east side of the river in Forsyth County); James Carter and William Linville (in Panther Creek section of Forsyth County); Morgan Bryan (several miles from the Yadkin River on Deep Creek); as well as Squire Boone (near Mocksville) (Figure 6). This raises the question: would not the earliest road have been the one that ran by a settlement, and if so, just where was the "Bryan Settlement?" We know that the "Great Wagon Road" came to and crossed Shallow Ford. Would not the earliest portion have gone very close to�� the river southward and past the "Bryan Settlement" if it were close to Farmington? Or was the Irish Ford -Huntsville -Farmington Road" simply one of many ways south to Georgia? Ramsey describes in detail the earliest settlements in Rowan County, and positions them at the sites of the major fords across the Yadkin and Catawba Rivers: The Shallow Ford, (on the Yadkin River), and the Irish Settlement on the headwaters of Second Creek (30 miles southwest of the Shallow Ford), and another settlement near Davidson's Creek near the Catawba River and Beatty's Ford 12 miles southwest of the Irish settlement (p. 37). Ramsey notes that James Allison "was issued a land grant in 1751 six miles southwest of the trading ford, at a site often used as a traders' camp (p. 106). The Trading Ford (like the Shallow Ford) had long been used by both Whites and Indians "from the east in trading with the Saponi, Catawbas, and Cherokees." 1748 George Forgush moved to the Yadkin River in 1748, settling on the West Bank, 2 miles north of the Shallow Ford (near the intersection of Highway 421 and the Baltimore Road) (N. C. Land Grants, VI, 147) See also Andon County Deeds Bk 1, pp. 327, 329, 3309 332; Rowan County Deeds, Book 5, pp. 148, 335. Colonia Land Grant Records, N. C. State Library, VI, 98) 1748-1752 Deed from Lord Granville to Morgan Bryant, Sr., on south side of Deep Creek (in Yadkin County), 510 acres, dated October 17, 1751. (Rowan County Deeds, Book 1:178-180) DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY MOCKSVILLE, PSC. P, : - 3 - A second deed for 300 acres from Granville to Bryan, also on the south side of Deep Creek was dated October 27, 1752. (Rowan Deeds, Book 1:183-185.) Bryan's first home was 4 or 5 miles west of the river (believed to have been later the Larkin Lynch plantation, now owned by the Hollar brothers). 1751-1753 In 1751-53 the first major settlement was made in the Forsyth County area by the Moravians. Bishop Spargenberg traveled from Pennsylvania, through the Blue Ridge mountains then turned east toward Forsyth County. He had a difficult time of it. Soon, Bethania and Bethabara were established. The main town was not established until later: Matthew Miksch built the first home in Salem in 1770, and moved into it on April 18, 1771. It was not until 1773 that others moved into Salem from the older towns of Bethania and Bethabara (Figure 7). 1_ At that time, Forsyth, Yadkin, and S'urry Counties were part of Anson County. Rowan County was formed in 1753. The township of "Salisbury" was created in 1753 and a deed dated February 11, 1755 for 635 made, out of which 40 acres had already been set aside by the February term of court (1753) for the establishment of the town of Salisbury. (Rumple, History of Rowan County, p. 61). A petition was presented in the Rowan County Court session of June, 1753 by the "inhabitants of the Back Parts of this County to have a road from ye Yadkin River to the Virginia Line, the consideration of this court was that said Petition be postponed until the next court." (Abstract of Minutes of Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Rowan County, N. C., 1753-1762.) September 19, 1753: Edward Hughs, Esqr. petitioned for a license to keep a Ferry on the Yadkin at the place called the Shallowford, and to have the ...Road continued. Granted. Isaac Free (Feree) also petitioned the court for a license for his ferry, which had already been granted by the Anson Court, "and that the Road already opened to be supported." This was granted. Isaac Free also petitioned for a license to keep a Public House at his plantation. 1755 Irish Ford Road, leading from Shallowford to Salisbury, mentioned in Surry Deed Book F, p. 160. Figure 8, the Yadkin County Historical Land Grant map, prepared by Fred Hughes in 1981 presents location of first land grant or purchase for most of the settlers, ferries, roads, and Indian trails during the period 1750-1800. The Hughes map has errors and omissions: it places the Georgia Road too far west of Huntsville. The Hughes map does show and North-South Indian trail up the Farmington Road (sometimes called the Irish Ford Road), through Huntsville, and then on up the river (now the Baltimore Road) to the islands in the Yadkin River (below the fish traps and 3 or 4 miles south of Donnaha). He shows the Indian trail also crossing at Shallow Ford. Another Indian trail is shown running from Jonesville to Yellow Bank Ford (Donnaha), approximately where highway 67 is now. The Hughes map also gives the route that Lord Cornwalli took in 1781 as being over the Georgia Road/Great Wagon Road. Another route may have existed for there is evidence that Cornwallis and his troops passed through the "Brock Woods" in Davie County, some distance East of the George Road as shown on this DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY MOCKSVILLE, NSC .0 0 - 4 - map. One puzzling aspect here is that in the area between the Georgia Road and the Farmington (Irish Ford) Road there are a large number of land grants, and even two mills. However, this map, and many later maps do not show any roads in this area. While Hughes shows Mt. Sinai Meeting (ca 1800), he shows no road to the. --church. Surely one existed, as it does today. 1755 There was an early settlement in what is now Davidson County (called the "Jersey Settlement"). Rev. Hugh McAden, a Presbyterian minister, passed from the Jersey Settlement over the Trading Ford to James Allison's house in Rowan county, about four or five miles south of Salisbury in 1755. Allison's house was on Crane Creek , then on to John Brandon's, to Thyatira Church, to Coddle Creek, to Center, to Rocky River, to Sugar Creek, and then on to the western part of South Carolina. l755 i Deed from Edward Hughes to James Carter, 938 acres in "Anson" county, on the East side of the Catawba River, on the Path that leads from the Indian Nation to McDowell's, dated April 17, 1755, Rowan County Deed Book 2:62-63. 1756 In 1756 Fort Dobbs was established near Statesville. (Hunter, Sketches of Western North Carolina, p. 8) In July 1768, Royal Governor Tryon came to Salisbury (during the Regulator troubles) arriving at Salisbury on August 18. (Rumple, P. 92). According to Lefler: "The first roads in the colony were Indian trails or 'trading paths', usually well located along the shortest and best routs. As the population grew and expanded, these narrow trails were widened --and deepened-- by constant usage, and some of them were made into 'roads' by order of provincial or local authorities." (pp. 103-104. An act of 1764 empowered county courts "to order the laying out of public roads, and to establish and settle "Ferries", and to approve where bridges were to be build for the "Use and Ease of the Inhabitance of the Province." (Lefler, p. 104) 1- Deed from Lord Granville to Andrew Cathey, 335 acres between Grant's Creek and Second Creek, on both sides of the "main road from town to George Cathey's settlement", adjoining John Long, George Lock, and known as White Glade, on Dan'l McPheeter's line, dated June 10, 1758. Rowan County Deed Book 4:3-6. 1_ Deed dated October 17, 1759, from John Long and wife Esther to Conrod Michael, 300 acres, on both sides of Crane Creek on "road leading from the Yadkin Ferry to Salisbury". Rowan County Deed Book 4:177-179. This is evidence of one route of the Great Road in present-day Rowan County. The Road Through Salisbury The "common", an area set aside for the general use of the public, similar to a part now days, in the town of Salisbury lay "on each side of the Western Great Road leading through the frontiers of this Province." Jethro DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY. JOCKSUILLE, IAC. p 4 - 5 - Rumple thought it was the Beattie's Ford Road, which crossed Grant's Creek, west of the town of Salisbury. He believed that the "common" was the site where the Presbyterian manse was standing in 1881. (Rumple, p. 75) 1759 October 19, 1779, Squire Boone and wife Sarah deed land to son Daniel Boone, for 40 pounds, 640 acres on Bear Creek, grated to Squire Boone by Lord Granville on December 29, 1753. (Rowan County Deed Book 4:195-197) 1761 Boone's Road (Davie County) A deed from Lord Granville to James Andrew, 13 a7 cres on the North side of the South Yadkin River, dated December 21, 1761, mentions the land as being on Boone's R! (Rowan County Deeds, Book 4:819-820). 1765 On January 10, 1765, the Rowan Court ordered that "a road be layed out leading from Whites Ford, on the Yadkin River to the Shallow Ford on said River, and that the following persons lay out the same Morgan Bryant, Abraham Creson, John Howard, Silis Enyard (Enyart), Henry Skidmore, Francis Reynolds, Edmund Denny, John Vanoy, Thomas Bartin, Luke Ler(?), Samuel Hays, Samuel Bryan." Henry Skidmore was to be the road overseer from Miller's to the Shallow Ford; Edmund Denny from Miller's to White's Ford. [White's Ford may refer to the White Rock Ford, later known as Rockford. Abraham Creson, Silas Enyart, Henry Skidmore are known to have lived in Yadkin County in the Huntsville/Shallow Ford area. Morgan Bryan owned property there.] This is probably the road that ran from Rockford southeastward across to the county to Shallow Ford, sometimes called the Speer Bridge Road (a portion of which still exists today). Governor Tryon wrote the Board of Trade in England that "more than a thousand wagons had passed through Salisbury in the Fall and Winter of 1765." Three major maps of this period are available John Collett's map of 1770 Henry Mouzon's map of 1775 John Mitchell's map of 1775 1760-707 The map of Wachovia of Dobbs Parish, Rowan County, recorded in Volume 1 of the Moravian Records does not show Yadkin County. It does show, however, the "Morgan Bryan" road to Douthit's Ferry on Muddy Creek (Figure 9). The "Historical Map of Forsyth County" done in 1975 shows the location of Douthit's Ferry, and shows the Great Wagon Road running south from the Virginia line through Germanton, Rural Hall, Bethania, Vienna, Lewisville, and on to Shallow Ford. Note also the existence of the "Upper Mulberry Fields Road" which ran from Bethania to Richmond, and westward along the Yadkin River to Jonesville and thence to Wilkesboro eventually. Thus, there are two Mulberry Fields Roads crossing Yadkin County: 1) in the extreme northern part near the river, and 2) from Shallow Ford to Hamptonville and then westward, lying in the extreme southern part of Yadkin County. 1772 New Road from Salem to Shallow Ford By 1772, there were many roads in Forsyth County: (from Volume 1, Moravian Records). A committee from the three towns in Forsyth County met at Bethabara in 1772, and "with the help of the Road Master" decided which roads would belong to each town for -maintenance. The plan was devised and accepted DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY MOCKSVILLE, NC - 6 - by the taxpayers in a congregational council. "Since then Salem has taken charge of the bridge over Muddy Creek on the road to the Shallow Ford, and has also laid out and opened a new road to the Shallow Ford, and has also laid out and opened a new road thither, which is a great convenience to the entire town." (Memorabelia of the Congregation of for the Year 1771, pp. 661-662, Vol. 2, Moravian Record). On June 29, 1772, the Grosse Helfer Conference met, to discuss the necessity of building a bridge over Muddy Creek on the new road to the Shallow Ford, as otherwise trade with Salem will be much hindered." A Mr. Gentry was employed to build the bridge by November 1, to be 15 feet high, and of the stipulated length. (Vol. 2, Moravian Records, p. 682). It appears from the above, that a new road was built from the town of Salem after it was established to Shallow Ford, as a means of ensuring trade. It also appears that there was an older road already in existence. September 22, 1772: The Committee from Salem, Bethabara, and Bethania met in Bethabara, and agreed that the maintenance of the roads in Wachovia should be cared for by the Congregation as follows: Salem (which has 66 taxables, including those to the South) takes the road from there to Peter Frey 7 1/2 miles Herman's road 5 1/2 Ulrich Richard's or Spurgeon's road, from Herman's road 2 1/2 " Salem to Blewers Creek (Belew's) 7 " Salem to the Town Fork as far as the cross roads 4 ft Ditto to near Sam'1 Wagner's 3 }� The new road to Shallow Ford 10 " From the beginning of the Town Ford Road to the Spangenbach 2 1/2 " from Baumgarten's foot -path to Steiner's Mill 5 1/2 " from the new Shallow Ford road to Douthet's Ferry 4 Total 51 1/2 miles Bethabara, with 18 taxables, takes the road from there towards Robert Walker, as far as our boundary 10 miles to Salisbury, as far as Baumgarten's foot path 3 miles the road to the mill, and the foot -path to Salem until it reaches the main road Bethania, with 37 or 38 taxables, including those living in Wachovia north of Salem, takes the following roads: From Henreich Benner to the Bethabara Mill road 7 miles From the old Shallow Ford road to Joseph Holder's bridge 4 1/2 miles From the Hollow road to the Bethabara Mill From the mill to the Salisbury road 1 !� Douthet's road, as far as the new Shallow Ford Road 3 From the fork in the old Salisbury road into the present Salem road, as ang far as Spenbach 1 1/2 " From the Little Yadkin 2 !!

It does, however, show clearly the Great Road from Virginia through Bethania, crossing the Yadkin River just below Deep Creek at Shallowford, running westward to the South Yadkin River, then turning East crossing Third Creek, Second Creek, and into Salisbury. It is very similar to the 1783 map in the Colonial Records, Vol. 18, p. 497 (Figure 11). 1775 DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY NiOCKSVILLE, NC V V _ 8 _ The John Mitchell map of 1775 covers the eastern states and shows the route taken by Christopher Gist to Kentucky. He also shows and Indian road from the mountains of North Carolina into Kentucky via Cumberland Gap. The Great Wagon Road is shown only through the Shenandoah Valley (Figure 12). (More on Christopher Gist's travels can be found in Darlington, William M: Christopher Gist's Journals with Historical, Geographical, and Ethnographical Notes and Biographies of Contemporaries. Cleveland, 1893.) 1775-1864 A drawing of the "Principal Posts and Routes of Westward Migration, 1775-1864" in Historical Atlas of the United States, by Lord and Lord, 1944, (Figure 13) does not show any roads from Salisbury to Augusta, Georgia, but does show westward routes from both cities. In the same book, a map of "Main Post Roads, 1834" shows a main road running south from Pennsylvania through Virginia and North Carolina to Georgia, and numerous other roads (Figure 14) 1780 "Beale's Meeting house was probably the first Methodist Church built in this section [Davie County] (see Figure 5). It is said to have been built during the Revolutionary War, in 1780. It was located on the 'old Georgia Road,' near Anderson's Bridge over Hunter Creek [Hunting Creek].

(C. L. Hunter, Sketches of Western North Carolina, Historical and Biographical* p. 175.) 1783 The map of 1783 found in the Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 18, p. 497, of the counties, towns and principal roads, shows the road from Bethania crossing the Yadkin River at Shallow Ford, then running westward, and eventually turning east (after crossing the South Yadkin) back to Salisbury. This map also shows the road from Salisbury which crosses at the Trading Ford and continues on to Guilford Court House, and on to the Virginia line. It does not have a road running from Salisbury to any of the towns in Forsyth County (Figure 11). 1_ Surry Court Minutes, 1786: Ord. Thos.

(Lefler, p. 105 ) 1804 The 1804 Post Roads map shows only the major post roads. This map shows only a road from Huntsville westward to Houstonville, with none going south to either Mocksville or Salisbury. This map does show a road from Salem south to Davidson County crossing the Yadkin River at Trading Ford to Salisbury (Figure 15). DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY_ MOCKSVILLE, NC Q v - 10 - 1807 S. Lewis map shows only Old Trading Ford Road through Salisbury (Figure 16). *1808 The Price -Strother map of 1808 shows three main routes leading South from Huntsville: 1) a road from Bethania across Shallow Ford through Huntsville going on westward several miles west of Statesville; 2) a road from Huntsville running southwestward to the South Yadkin river; 3) a road from Huntsville directly south, almost following the river to Salisbury (Figure 17). 1833 The McRae -Brazier map of 1833 shows a westward road (going through Wyo), and a southward road to Farmington, coming into a road east of Mocksville (similar to the present-day Huntsville -Farmington road). The old Mulberry Fields/Hamptonville-road is also shown (Figure 18). 1840 This 1840 map shows the three roads .running from Huntsville: 1) South to Farmington, 2) south to Wyo and then west; 3) Mulberry fields Road (Figure 19). 1850 This map of the state of North Carolina (1850 or 1860) shows to major routes from Huntsville: 1) to Mocksville and then to Salisbury; 2) to Statesville (Figure 20). la The map of J. H. Colton, 1861, shows three roads leading from Huntsville: one to Hamptonville (former Mulberry Fields Road), one leading to Farmington and on south to Salisbury, and one running westward to Statesville by way of Williamsburg. Note: The upper portions of this route in Yadkin and Davie Counties are the ones sometimes called the Old Georgia Road in deeds of the 1800s) (Figure 21). 1865 The U. S. Coastal Survey map of 1865 shows the major road leading from Shallow Ford running in a southwest direction, to Houstonville and Williamsburg. At some point near the Yadkin -Davie county line a road from Jonesville-Hamptonville cuts across it going southward to Mocksville. Another route, show a lesser rout running south from Huntsville to the road that comes from Clemmons and crosses the river going westward to Statesville. Many roads are missing from this map, making it hard to plot a course from the Shallow Ford to directly to Salisbury (Figure 22). 1_ The Kerr -Cain map of 1882 sows road from Huntsville to Clarksville (Davie County) which then continues to Statesville. At County Line (Davie County), a road turns east to Mocksville, then continues to Salisbury south of Boone's Ford. A second road goes from Huntsville to Farmington, then on to Mocksville. This map also shows road from Huntsville to Lewisville, and a road running north from Lewisville to Vienna and Bethania (Figure 23). DAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY MOCKSVILLE, NSC 1891 As shown on this 1891 map by the U. S. Department of the Interior, Geological Survey, three routes lead from Shallow Ford: 1) by the Gray/Hartman/Holden place to Mulberry Fields Road; to Wyo, then west to Roberts' mill, and then both south and west, with a branch going south to Pino; and the road to Farmington (Figure 24). 1896 Post road map of 1896 shows only road from guntsvile 5o Farmington and from Huntsville to Courtney and into Yadkinville (Figure 25). 1924 The 1924 Soil Survey map (W. D. Lee, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, and S. F. Davidson, N. C. Dept. of Agriculture) shows the Farmington Road and the Wyo Road leading from Huntsville. Also shown is a road running between these two roads lying south of the old Vit. Sinai Methodist Church. There is also a road from the church into this road. These roads are no longer in existence (Figure 26). Error: The road shown north of Huntsville leading to Hartman's Store (now Holden place) is placed too far North, but it does show that the segment which originally ran past the Big Poplar Tree has been to hdoned by hallowthis time. The 1924 map does not show any road running down t but several other roads leading to ferries across the river are shown (Hunt's Ferry and another below it). This map also shows several roads in the Big Woods section north of Wyo. 1960s Topographical Map_ This Yadkin County map, with notations by Al Hudson, locates many of the 18th century home sites, earlier roads, and the deep cut that runs u s from the Huntsville-Lewisville Road to the Shallow Ford crossing on 27. The map of Davie County (1965) has the route of the Old Georgia Road drawn in, and also contemporary homesites. It is also a recent topographical map (Figure 28. 1980 A 1980 road map shows only two roads running south from Huntsville: one to the Wyo community, and one to Farmington. Note: An error is made in showing that the road to the Gray/Hartman/Holden place from the Winbush property is open (road #1713). This road is not now passable (Figure 29 1- This rough sketch by Frances H. Casstevens (Figure 30) places the town of Huntsville along the Great Wagon Road from Shallow Ford.

It must be remembered that the Great years before the town of Huntsville was established (ca 1792), although there had been settlers in the area since about 1748 or earlier. It is between no n thries at a battle took place in October 1780 near the Big Poplar Tree QAVIE CO. PUBLIC LIBRARY MOCKSVILLE, NSC V $ - 12 - Patriots on what came to be called "Battle Branch" just west of the Big Poplar Tree. It is at this point that the forks of the road can still be seen. It may be that after the town was established the Great Road ran down High Street, or it may have branched past the Big Poplar tree, run past the Long place to the present Wyo Road. It also could have continued to the Gray/Hartman/Holden place before turning south. However, deeds of the 1850s call the Wyo Road the "Georgia Road". The earliest road may have turned south before reaching the tree or High Street. It could have run down Ashley Street, possibly continuing by the old Mt. Sinai Church. The road to Farmington was once called the Irish Ford Road (in some old deeds). What is puzzling is why no early maps show the road leading by the old Mt. Sinai Methodist Church (established 1808), and why on the Davie County Historical Map the route taken by Cornwallis.appears to run between the "Old Georgia Road" and the "Huntsville -Farmington Road" --a route that if continued directly northward would pass by the Old Mt. Sinai Church. On the Yadkin County Historical Map Fred Hughes has Cornwallis coming to Huntsville via the "Old Georgia Road/Great Wagon Road." According to Jim Wall, "Cornwallis and his army are believed to have marched over a route a short distance west of the present Farmington going toward the Shallowford. Tradition says that they used an old road still visible through the "Brock Woods" about 1 1/2 miles northwest of Farmington (see Figure 31). Cornwallis is known to have passed by the Big Poplar Tree (on the Shallow Ford -Mulberry Fields -Georgia Road), crossed the river at Shallow Ford, and stopped at the plantation home of Robert Lanier in Forsyth (see "Jarratt Family History" by A. J. Jarratt). . It seems plausible that Lord Cornwallis, in his desperate pursuit of General Nathanael Green and, not being familiar with the territory, would have taken the best, most well-known, as well as the shortest route to the Shallow Ford. Would he not have taken the GREAT PHILADELPHIA WAGON ROAD? Many old maps neglect the Yadkin County area entirely. Some roads that once existed are no• longer open. Much more title searching needs to be done in the Huntsville area. Present maps do not show roads around Mt. Sinai, but earlier there were many roads, even one that connected the Wyo-Farmington roads. This is something to consider when trying to establish the earliest route taken by settlers moving down the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road. It is very hard to determine from these early records the exact location landmarks, homes, roads, ferry sites, because the property changed hands frequently and the names of roads, creeks, ferries, etc. also changed over the years. At present, we know the road crossed the Yadkin River at Shallow Ford and that there were at least three routes going south, and/or southwest from there. Just which one of those is the earliest (and there may have been another one past the old Mt. Sinai church that is not shown on early maps, or perhaps it is shown, and the Farmington -Huntsville road is of much later date) has not definitely been established as yet. D.AVIE CO.
