No lists of settlers who used or settled along the '''Lower Cherokee Traders' Path''' are known to exist. However, local and county histories along the road may reveal that many of the first pioneer settlers arrived from places to the northeast along the [[Upper Road]], the [[Occaneechi Path]], the [[Fall Line Road]], or the [[Great Valley Road]] (south fork). | No lists of settlers who used or settled along the '''Lower Cherokee Traders' Path''' are known to exist.

The most likely place of origin for settlers along the Lower Cherokee Traders' Path was from the Waxhaws and the Yadkin River settlements in North Carolina. Those from farthest away may have arrived from southern Virginia, Maryland, or even the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania or southern New Jersey. Some Ulster-Irish setters may have come via the port of Philadelphia a generation earlier. | The most likely place of origin for settlers along the Lower Cherokee Traders' Path was from the Waxhaws and the Yadkin River settlements in North Carolina.
