Classification: Query
I have two families that were in eastern NY, the first family in Otsego Co., NY migrated to Licking Co. Ohio in 1830 to 1840. The Erie Canal route doesn't seem to be the answer. Were their trade routes and/or trails?
The second family was in Renselear Co., NY and then turned up in Portage Co. Ohio by 1840. Could they have traveled the same route but stopped shosrter?
One family traveled to Gratiot Co. Michigan in 1850, the other to Lenawee Co., Michigan in the 1840's.
Any help as to where to find any information will be helpful. Thank you
