The "Old Wagon Road" articles discuss Ulster-Scots migration through Virginia [Note 31],

and the "Daniel McAninch, Part II: From Pennsylvania, 1790, to Lincoln County, Kentucky"

article continues the story of the family's migration south to Greene County, eastern Tennessee,

1796-1797, and through the Cumberland Gap on the Wilderness Road into southern Kentucky,

arriving in frontier Lincoln County, Kentucky, ca.1798-1799 [Note 30].
