"In the years following the close of the Revolutionary War many of the people of Virginia left the state. In the fall of 1799 James (at the age of 67) and Sarah packed several wagons and headed westward with the family to Ohio. Their son William had already made this trip a couple of years before and they were probably following his path. They traveled across the mountains thru Wheeling to the Ohio River where James and his sons built large flatboats to carry the wagons and horses to Cincinnati. Winter caught up with the party and James became sick from exposure. The family found a vacant house along the Kentucky side of the river and moved in but James passed away and was buried at a place called Red Stone (near Maysville, KY). Sarah then took her family the rest of the way downriver and in the spring of 1800 they settled in Centerville, Montgomery Co. Ohio Territory." (undocumented history of Terry Lee Edwards family tree)
