William Wilson of Jackson River and Bull Pasture, in what is now Highland County, Virginia. William was born about 1722 and some have his birth in Scotland and others in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
Virginia’s Gov. Col. Alexander Spotswood first discovered this Great Road in 1716.
\nIn 1744, a treaty between the English colonists and the Indians gave the white men control of the road for the first time. William and his wife Mary settled near Doe Hill, Virginia about 1743. By 1765 the Great Wagon Road was cleared all along it way enough to hold horse drawn vehicles and by 1775, the road stretched 700 miles.<\/p>\n
