Between 1760 and 1850 more than 300,000 people walked, rode, or were carried over theAppalachian Mountains through Cumberland Gap.Formed by a stream and enlarged by wind and weather, the Cumberland Gap, named by surveyorThomas Walker for his English patron, the Duke of Cumberland, son of George II of England, is fifteenhundred feet above sea level. Various types of sediments including shells, shale, limestone, and gravelsurround the area and attest to the great earth disturbances that formed the gap.Settlers followed a trail over the gap initially used by Native Americans, who had enlarged it from ananimal trace. They were entering a prized hunting ground, coveted by the Shawnees to the north andCherokees to the south. The French and Indian War, followed by the American Revolution, brieflyhalted white settlement. But with the restoration of peace, the flow of hunters, settlers, and landspeculators through Cumberland Gap was resumed. Perhaps the most famous traveler was DanielBoone, who agreed to take settlers north into Kentucky after first making several hunting trips throughthe gap.By 1800 the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia claimed the area through the CumberlandGap. After 1840 a weekly stage carried freight, mail, and passengers and gave the area a prosperouscommercial appearance. During the Civil War, the gap changed hands four times as the North andSouth fought for control of this strategic gateway. Initially considered part of Kentucky, and thereforeunder Union control, the first troops to occupy the Cumberland Gap were Confederate forces underthe command of Brigadier General Felix K. Zollicoffer. Union commander Brigadier General GeorgeW. Morgan took the "American Gibraltar" on June 18, 1862. Morgan did not remain at the gap,however, and Confederates reoccupied the area immediately. After a year of inactivity, Union forcesreappeared, and Major General Ambrose E. Burnside demanded and received unconditionalsurrender. The gap was not seriously threatened again during the remainder of the war.In 1841, Fate and Nannie Taylor came through the Gap with 5 of their children. As one descendent putit "Nannie had one in her arms and one in her belly." One son died on the way and the youngestMariah Jane died after they reached Tennessee but a new daughter was born 2 years later and namedfor the dead infant. Martha Jane Taylor who became my great grandmother.More About Anderson Taylor and Nancy Canaday:14
