Notes
a. Note:   John, a cabinet maker in North Carolina, married a Virginia girl, Mary Polly Hulen in 1790. Sometime after 1800 they and their children moved to Madison County, Kentucky probably by way of the Wilderness Road starting at Cumberland Gap. They then moved on and settled in what would become Knox County in the Indiana Territory between 1810 and 1815.
"The journey from civilization to the forest-home of Indiana for the pioneer families was full of difficulties. The route lay, for the most part, through rough country. Swamps and marshes were crossed with great exertion and fatigue; rivers were forded with difficulty and danger; forests were penetrated with risk of captivity by hostile Indians; nights were passed in open prairies, with the sod for a couch and the heavens for a shelter; long, weary days and weeks of tiresome travel were endured. The mother and young children were probably seated in a rough farm-wagon, while the father and the older boys walked by the side of the team of horses, urging them over the uneven ground. The journey westward was a tedious, tiresome, dangerous one." * note -- I copied this from somewhere--TLE
