Kerr Canning wrote a very informative article about the two main roads that lead into Cumberland. One was the road from Parrsboro that came up through the Francklin Grant west of the River Hebert. The other was Cobequid Road, which came up through today's Brookdale. In old deeds and maps, both are referred to as the "Old Post Road". You can view the article online here. While you're on the website, check out some of the other articles.

AuthorHi there! My name is Mallory Burton and I started researching the Ripley family in 2011. I'd describe myself as a careful amateur who's more interested in story than names and dates. I hope you enjoy my website and blog. I also have a public Mallory/Ripley tree on Ancestry with over 4,000 names. To contact me, please comment on any one of my blog posts. Archives
