Subject: [BARRINGER-L] Barringer migration
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1998 14:22:31 EDT
I have recently received information that shows the migration trail used by
my Barringer ancestors followed the old National road trail north out of South
Carolina, continuing north west using the Catawba trail into Tennessee, then
via the Wilderness road thru the Cumberland gap northwest to Louisville,
Kentucky. Thence onward thru the old Chicago road west thru a small part of
southern Indiana West thru southern Illinois, terminating in northeastern
Missouri.
Sometime just before the turn of the century a major portion of the
Barringer clan turned south to the Moscow, Texas area. I remember hearing the
story from my great grand-mother about their passage in covered wagons.
