Hi, Ms. Nel.  I am certain that people from everywhere went everywhere at one time or another, but I sure would not as a FIRST (as I emphasized) STEP send a researcher from Ohio to GA if that searcher sought the origins of that OH family and had lost the trail, would you?  Then too, I said "unlikely", plus you sneaked a fact in on my example; you said they were Quakers.  :-)

  I can think of one very specific migration in which families DID go from
  south GA to southern Ohio. These were the Quaker families of NC who migrated
  mid 1700s to Wrightsborough (currently McDuffieCo), GA, and after
  experiencing much difficulty, most of these families packed up and headed
  straight to BelmontCo, OH to live happily ever after.
