Jabez YORK and Elizabeth WHITE with six of their children joined a large wagon train in 1812/1813. This most likely was a very large migration from Randolph County, North Carolina to the newly opened land in Coffeeville, Clarke County, Alabama. The wagon train trek included many York and White family members. This lower section of Alabama was first part of the Mississippi Territory previously belonging to the Creek Indian tribes. No doubt their migration route was first south into South Carolina; then they westward into Georgia. Then most likely they traveled on the Federal Wagon Road from Georgia into Clarksville, Clarke County, Alabama. Then they traveled north to the new community of Coffeeville. There in the fertile river valley lands they settled and built their new log cabins and added five new children to their family.
