New Jersey to Georgia
The quest for my ancestors now begins in New Jersey.
William Paschal is documented as living in Woodbridge, NJ and marrying the
daughter of Samuel Dennis, Jr and Mary Crowell. From NJ the family is found
living in Warren/Bute/Granville county North Carolina. William Paschal's
will is probated in Bute County NC 1774
1779 William's wife Tabitha is shown as deceased in the Warren
NC Court Minutes her property sold by Thomas Note.
Clarence McDaniel has a comprehensive site on the Paschal
family.

We need Paschal researchers to help obtain original documents to
find and prove the father of William Paschal.
In recent years a host of sites with erroneous information on
the Paschal family has cropped up.
Shout this everywhere Sarah Paschal daughter of Samuel
Paschal married John Glover. John Glover's will is probated in
Crawford County, Georgia and names his children. Sarah named her children after
her brothers, father and grandfather. William Paschal Glover, Samuel
Paschal Glover, Milton Paschal Glover, Sarah Paschal Glover, John Paschal
Glover.
Sarah Paschal Glover died in Crawford County Georgia and is
buried beside her husband John Glover at Mt. Paran Cemetery. After her death
their plantation went to their son William Paschal Glover.
I have no way of knowing if the Paschal family followed
the Great Wagon Road but suspect they did.
Great Wagon Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Wagon Road, which ran from
Pennsylvania to
Georgia, was one of the most heavily traveled major routes
for settlers in all
America.
Beginning in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Great Wagon Road ran through
the southern Pennsylvania region today known as
Pennsylvania Dutch Country, passing through the towns of
Lancaster and
York. The road crossed
South Mountain, part of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, and entered the
Cumberland Valley, part of the
Great Appalachian Valley. Turning southwest, the road
reached the
Potomac River at
Williamsport, Maryland (William's Ferry) and continued
southwest through the
Shenandoah Valley, following an old
Native American path. The Shenandoah portion of the road is
also known as the
Valley Pike. South of Shenandoah Valley, the road reached
the
Roanoke River at the town of Big Lick (today,
Roanoke, Virginia).
From there, the Great Wagon Road passed through the Roanoke
River Gap to the east side of the Blue Ridge, and continued
south through the
Piedmont region and the present-day
North Carolina towns of
Winston-Salem,
Salisbury, and
Charlotte, ultimately reaching
Augusta, Georgia on the
Savannah River.
South of Roanoke, the Great Wagon Road was also called the
Carolina Road.
At Roanoke a road forked southwest, leading into the upper
New River Valley and on to the
Holston River in the upper
Tennessee Valley, from which the
Wilderness Road led into Kentucky.
