I hope this response fits into properly into this HARRISON list , as I am
certain it would be relative to any HARRISON research.
I find this VERY interesting. I am curious, is there some publication that
gives the details of these early roads? I have family (as do many people)
that moved from Virginia to NC > SC > GA in the late 1700's, and have often
wondered about the route they took. Were these roads south and westward built
by the indians or by the colonists? Was the term you use..."The Great Road"
an actual term used then?
