Migration West on the National Pike, 1836

The family of Jacob and Elizabeth Horine migrated from near Meyersville, Maryland to Darke County, Ohio in September 1836. They undoubtedly traveled along the National Pike the entire journey. On the right are some of the sights they would have seen along the route.

Jacob's son Samuel Solomon Horine describes this journey in a letter to his cousin Mary Dutro Lee dated Tuesday April 3, 1906:

Home-no-more

In Grandfather's Mother's [Elizabeth Poussert ?] Child-hood Home. A few short weeks came and went. The old home with it's halo was lost sight of. The [Middletown] valley with its somber sheen could not be seen. Meyersville [Maryland], a nice little village in the back ground of our home, the rocks and hills medows and mountain strems by faith only could be seen. The few short weeks are over. Two fine horses, one a bay, the other a gray, was hitched to a new two horse wagon, in it was put some beding, some house fixtures, some provisions to last a few meals. Father, Mother, Grand Father George Dutro Sen., George, myself and Lewis - brothers six of us got in the wagon. This was a beautiful September morning eighteen hundred and thirty six 1836. Germantown, Montgomery County Ohio was our destination. Reuben Dutro lived near her[e].

Well Mary, this letter is much like a boys letter. Shure it is only a boys letter - I was only four years old when I wrot[e] it in my memory.
