So many found on the 1790 census, then 1800, 1810, and 1820 but the news of new farm land further south was irresistable as well as the news of Daniel Boone's exporations of Kentucky so they began a long journey to their new home.

Their grandfathers came from all over the world and fought during many wars and battles to receive their land grants in the new colonies along the east coast, with most leaving a nice paper trail for us to follow.

Obviously there would be military records you can order from Nara.gov, Property Deeds or Land Grants, Tax Lists, Church Records, Death Records, Petitions or Letters, Marriage Licenses, long before the first national census record of 1790. Even though many courthouses have burned down, there are a few lingering records and Books or Diaries to help with this study.
