ALLEN, LOGAN, MCCAMPBELL posted by James Allen Smith on Wednesday, October 1, 1997: My gg-grandparents, James ALLEN and Elizabeth LOGAN, were married in Rockbridge County, VA, in 1801 and migrated that same year to Shelby County, KY, about 30 miles east of Louisville near the Ohio River. An old handwritten document states they traveled with Alexander LOGAN and Jane MCCAMPBELL and James McCampbell and Margaret LOGAN. They arrived by water above The Falls of the Ohio (Louisville) and traveled the short distance to the Shelby County area to join those who had migrated from Rockbridge County (through the Cumberland Gap) by land. James McCampbell and Margaret Logan remained near the landing site and eventually settled across the Ohio River near Charles Town. Would anybody suggest the most likely migration route they would have taken in 1801 from Rockbridge County to a point on the Ohio River?
