In the summer of 1804 an advance party of men and boys sat out for to stake their claims.
Heading into the wilderness they blazed a trail that would be known as "The Carolina
Trace". When I say blazed, that is exactly what a Trace is. A common practice of
marking a trail was to use a torch to leave scorch marks on trees along the way: instant
road sign and more permanent than breadcrumbs. According to accounts in "the House
of Hanna", the trace commenced on Lees Creek at the farm of Mathias Brown, then
across the country to a a point a little west of the village of Mount Carmel, and from
there along Big Cedar Creek to where the Big Cedar Church now stands and then it took a
north westerly course overland until it reached the south branch of what is now Templeton
Creek, down the creek to where it crossed the East Fork of the Whitewater River onto the
land that once belonged to Robert Templeton's son James.
