Looking for a Nancy A. Mathis, born, I believe, in the 1850's.
She married Elias C. Olmstead on August 27, 1877 Johnson County, In. They had two children George W. born 1882 and Araminta Gertrude born 3/9/1885, my grandmother. Since Elias was born in Hamblen township of Brown county, I thought maybe Nancy A. was from the same area.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Marilyn

There were many routes into the NW territory (IN, OH, IL, MI, WI)-- the
Wilderness Road being only one (if you were from the southern area).
There was the Red Banks Trace that connected Henderson-Evansville (and went
north in IN, and began south of Henderson). Also, the Yellow Banks Trace
that did the same for Owensboro and Rockport (parts of it are IN 231). A
major connector was the National Road (went from the east (MD) to Vandelia,
IL (through Indianapolis)-- it became I 40 because it primarily followed the
40th parallel. Also another way into IN was to boat down the OH from
Pittsburgh, get off at New Albany and follow the old Buffalo Trace which
now is parts of state road 150. The Buffalo Trace (or Harrison's Trace as
it also was called) connected New Albany, Paoli, touched the northern
portion of Dubois Co and went to Vincennes. Many of Germans who came into
Dubois County (my county) did leave Pittsburgh, boated down the Ohio River,
and either got off at New Albany and took the Buffalo Trace or they
continued on to Troy, IN, and took the Kundek Trail which connected Troy,
Fulda, Ferdinand, and Jasper (much of 162). Many areas along the Ohio
River had large German speaking settlements from 1840-1860-- Cincinnati,
Louisville, Dubois County, Evansville (the Lamasco area on the west side of
Evansville). Basically, the quickest and easiest route into the mid-west
is what these early settlers took-- if a road was good (that was it) but
generally is was water transportation. Roads were iffy-- then tended to
wash out, or become impassible, plus there were very few bridges, so you had
to ford a stream. So much for the "good old days". I prefer the
automobile or airplane. Helen Zuber Keusch in southern IN

I have to add a bit to Myrna's comments.
My MARKLAND's originated in Maryland. One brother went to Muddy Creek in
Rowan County near the start of the Revolution and the other, Jonathan, with
his family went to what is now Washington county, PA and Wheeling, West
Virginia.
After the Revolution Jonathan's family, minus two sons, went down the Ohio
and settled in what is now Boone county, KY (Jonathan is the first will in
the Boone County Will Book 1, dated about 1801 (going my memory here)).
Mathew's sons stayed past his death in Rowan until the early 1800's and then
most of his family moved on to around Boone county, KY. The two branches
reunited briefly, then most crossed the river, some settling in Hamilton
county, OH and others going a short distance west to settle Switzerland
county, IN. One family went straight west and into MO.
So to cut to the chase, the Ohio was a major transportation artery for
emigrants from PA, MD, western VA, etc. Overland was the chief means of
getting there for lower VA, NC, SC, etc. Having made the last statement, I
am not excluding the ones who took the river routes up to Nashville and
vicinity and maybe as far as the Ohio to western KY and over the Mississippi
to Missouri.
Myrna, what surnames do you have in Switzerland county?
Best of wishes,
Billy

I don't have much about Myers in the various spellings, and nothing about
Leffler. But I have spent some time looking into early migration routes to
the Ohio Valley.
I think you will find that the earliest settlers (around Revolutionary War
time, and for many years later) traveled Southwest to the western tip of
Virginia and crossed the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky and east Tennessee. If
they didn't settle there, they traveled the Wilderness Road (do some reading
on Wilderness Road and Cumberland Gap and you will find the whole story) to
central and northern Kentucky. There must have been some early river traffic
from Pennesylvania, but Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio history textbooks don't
mention much about early settlers traveling down the Ohio River from
Pittsburgh, the primary line of settlement was from the south.
Louisville was a natural crossroads for travel in all directions. There was,
and still is, a rock formation across the Ohio River at Louisville, this was
a natural crossing point. Visit Falls of the Ohio State Park on the Indiana
side of the Ohio across from Louisville to get an idea of what the original
falls were like. For thousands of years the buffalo crossed at this point,
the buffalo left broad clear trails that had been stomped into the ground for
centuries. The Buffalo Trace across Indiana and Kentucky was the nearest
thing to a superhighway in 1800. After the War of 1812 the traffic picked up
considerably.
I think the answer to your question is that the early settlers traveled by
foot, horse and wagon across the Cumberland Gap and over the Wilderness
Trail. (On a modern map, look at I-75 from Tennessee north to Lexington
Kentucky to get a sense of the location) They may have taken the Buffalo
Trace to the falls of the Ohio, across Indiana and beyond. (Again on a
modern map, look at I-64 from Lexington to Louisville and across Indiana to
get a general sense of the location). Some of them made their way to the
Ohio River upriver from the falls where they build rafts and pirogues.
Others traveled overland to the falls and got on the river from there.
They didn't confine their river travels to just the Ohio River either. Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois are dotted with early settlements at the
confluence of smaller rivers into the Ohio. Early settlers were farmers who
knew that there was good river valley land (that was less flood prone) to be
found miles up the smaller rivers.
It is a comfortable day's drive on the interstates, it took a couple
generations for the area to become sparsely settled.
