From: Source:Palmer, 1875
Dr. Walker, of Albemarle County, in company with others, had penetrated
the wilderness in Kentucky in 1754, and according to some, as early as 1747.
Indeed, nearly a century before this date, a Col. Wood, " who dwelt at the falls
of James River," is said to have gone, with a band of followers, not only through
what is now Southwest Virginia, but afterwards as far as the Ohio in the other
direction.
