Early migratory trails in PA


 

When replying to another list today I found these maps. Those who were in
Northumberland / Schuylkill Co who migrated to Jefferson and Clarion and
Venango etc. the route on the map is Pink Purple Red and Blue into

Southern Jefferson and Clarion. Part of this was Portage trail after they
went down the Juniata river. The green line above this trail is the Susq
river trail past Grampion etc to headwarters and portage over thru some of
Clearfield

Co to Jefferson. This is where the second wave would have gone in the 1840's
and after. The lower one is where many Mennonites went to Bedford area and
settled. Those of Clinton and Lycoming Cos would have use the Susq river
trail west and they reflect intermarriages between those East of the N. Susq
region with those who move from Jersey Shore area into Ohl area of
Jefferson. These were largely Lutheran and Methodist. Just some ideas
reflected in my tree.
