With this generation, the Parkers and Fosters begin their migration from the northern and middle colonies into North Carolina from which, in another generation, they will explode out into Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas. The route they took, along the Great Wagon Road was such an epic part of colonial and frontier history, I have posted an essay regarding this event. As many of them settled in what would become Rowan County, North Carolina here are a couple of links to a published history of Rowan County:
