migration routes

Classification: Query
Surnames: Parks, Brown
My Parks family migrated from Tennessee to east Texas — Lamar and Red River counties — by wagon train in about 1830. I don't know what part of Tennessee they lived in.
My Brown line also came to Texas from the Lebanon, TN, area and settled in Lamar County in the late 1880s.
My question: Was there a regular trail or route these migrations tended to follow? I would think they came across Arkansas at some point, but I don't know how to find out a likely route.
Thanks,
Jayne
