In the late 1850s, some of my ancestors moved from the Lexington/Natural
Bridge area of Rockbridge County, VA, to Randolph County, VA (now WV). I've
found a map of the old "Staunton, VA - Parkersburg, WV Turnpike." This
turnpike went directly through Beverly, WV, where my ancestors settled.
If they used the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike, then they had to take
another road, first. I'd like to know what road (or roads) my ancestors
might have taken to get to Staunton,VA from the Lexington/Natural Bridge
area of Rockbridge County, VA. (Today, you'd take I-81.)
Or, did they take another road which went from Lexington/Natural Bridge, VA
to Beverly, WV in Randolph Co, WV? If so, what was it? Is there a map of
that old road?
Thank for you help.
