We arrived in Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap around 1783 and settled in what is now Nicholas County. My father was the first of my ancestry to leave Kentucky (his father was the first to leave Nicholas County, but only as far as neighboring Bourbon County where I was later born) and I eventually landed in Texas. Having been born and spent my childhood in Kentucky I still have strong ties to the state, and as required by my Kentucky birth I am a fervent fan of the Wildcats. Thanks for taking on this important project to help maintain our heritage. I wrote a book on my family ancestry.

About 13 years ago I helped several others map about a 15 to 20 mile portion of one of the many "Trail of Tears" from near Dunlap, TN, towards McMinnville, TN. My participation was to go with two or three Boys Scouts, a Scout leader, and a couple of members of the Chattanooga Hiking Club. We carried a GPS that marked our position every 5 minutes. I also had a borrowed copy of a journal written by a man that accompanied the group on the trek to Oklahoma. When in the old growth forest, the old trail is easy to see even though it has been abandoned for decades. That is a great project to be helping with.
