Occaneechi Path - - Trail walking and Trading Partnerships of My Family Ongoing To Today
Many of the settlers of South Carolina along the Lower Cherokee Traders' Path reached there by way of the Occaneechi Path. It was also a way to reach the Augusta, Georgia area. The Occaneechi Path or Trading Path was heavily used by traders, but sparsely used by white settlers before 1748. After that time Virginians from around Petersburg and inland southern Virginia would have used the road to move southwest. Also some people from southern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, eastern Maryland, and northern Virgina may have used remnants of the Path to reach the Yadkin River settlements (Daniel Boone), and the Waxhaws areas of North Carolina. https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Occaneechi_Path#Settlers_and_Records
Dine' Nation is larger than Rhode Island, New Jersey and Delaware combined.
My mom spent her years from 10 -12, as best I can tell from pictures in Thoreau (pronounced "threw" by locals), NM. She said turquoise was everywhere on the ground and they played jax and used turquoise for marbles. They traded a lot of wood for woven rugs with the Navajo weavers.
Some of my Pearl River County, MS trail friend's elders were trail walkers too. The names Moody, Gipson, Bass, and Shivers were trail walking from the SC section to Augusta, GA and onto MS/LA. Here's a Thigpen who ended up in LA via the SC trek. My Pearl River Co, MS has a lot of Thigpen history. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thigpen-115
Mrs Daniel Boone is interesting to study.
Here's her fab tree with lots of Morgans in the mix and the Smiths that went to VR.
Boone returned home after the defeat, and on August 14, 1756, married into Bryan neighbor family in the Yadkin Valley whose brother married one of Boone's sisters. The couple initially lived in a cabin on his father's farm. They eventually had ten children. " (see Bryan Family History)

The Chicasaw and Cherokee Euro ancestry in their Folsom and Bryan and Smith lines tie to ydna R -U106 which is most associated with U4 mtdna. Nov 2018 announcement that mtdna can and does sometimes come down through males and is shocking all; except that my pro genetic geneologist 2014 word to me told me that in my nephew, the mtdna skipped down a generation. So, then since then the mtdna NOT being the X or the 23 has been a focus. Watched You Tubes. Got the latest word. Yes, sometimes with "ativism" is a clumping download that gets stored on the mtdna and downloads generations later, like my 2016 geneatic geneologist pro relayed to me, a different one than than the pro whose word was relayed to me about my nephew's Q3. So, back to the Folsoms: Every generation seems to have a Nathaniel Folsom and he had the first NC licensed trading post with the Cherokee in NC back before they opened it up.
My "Folsom" gramps as they called him kept going west, in his day, too. Here are my mom's parents upon retirement from their Goodwin Lumber Co based out of Denver with contract to Southern RR for ties from Denver to Albuquerque and over to Gallop and took from 1929 to they retired in 1939, and KEPT ON A GOING WEST and this time to San Diego where they bought a house and went back to MO to visit the old home place in THAYER, MO and where Folsom had a heart attack and in buried in Lynn, ARK. Called "Folsom" for Trader Folsom was my mom's dad, pictured to the right standing next to my mom's mom, Malissa Mae Epperson. In his day, George "Folsom" Goodwin had a contract to supply rail road ties along the I-25 and I-40 Colorado to Albuquerque to Gallop sections. He had an accident with the saw and cut off the middle three fingers and it reportedly was a grandkid tradition that he would pretend to bop them with said hand and freak them out in a good way while running around him in circles.
Hopi of Northern AZ - trading carpentry for rugs stories ...galore.

SUPER FUN FAB PEDIGREE of Mrs Daniel Boone. Those Morgans were Welsh. I saw a Morgan who applied for a Welsh Tract Patent/ Petioner in SC under Gov Richard Johnson's admin. In the near 400 pages I read, that was the only Morgan patent mentioned in Adair's book (Adair was half Cherokee, btw) in the Expansion of South Carolina book.
