**** (Excerpt below from "History of the Dollarhide Family in America" by William W. Dollarhide - online at http://www.dollarhide.org/history.htm)

"It appears that Francis Dollahide and John Bradsher took their families from Prince George?s County, Maryland to Orange County, North Carolina between 1746 and 1750. Travel in the interior of the American Colonies during this time was restricted to rivers and a few wagon roads. The King?s Highway from Boston to Charleston was a continuous wagon road, but was limited to the Atlantic coast. In addition, the Fall Line road of Virginia and the Carolinas was a north-south route but not very far inland. From Fredericksburg, Virginia to Augusta, Georgia, colonists could take the Upper Road by the mid 1750's, which crossed through North Carolina east of Raleigh on a north-south line. But anyone traveling by wagon about the time the Dollarhide and Bradsher families left Maryland would have gone first to Alexandria, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Prince George?s County, Maryland."
