I am  working on a theory that my ancestral family may have "sailed" up the 
Potomac  and gone overland to the Monongahela River and then down the Ohio. 
 This  would have been about 1784-1792.

Can someone tell me (during that time  period):
1.     how far up the Potomac they could have  gotten before having to go 
overland?
2.     how far up the  Monongahela they could have put in to the water?  
3.   where I might get further information on this?

They owned  next to nothing so a boat could have been small.

Thanks for your  help.
