No, the Proclamition of 1763 temporarily slowed migration, but it did not stop explorers from crossing the mountains. Colonists, at first in smaller numbers over the next decade, began moving westward from eastern NJ, PA, MD and Virginia. Within two decades, more settlers moved. So the Proclamation did not stop the colonists from settling west of the Appalachians. But although some settlers were in SW PA and Ohio before 1750s, lands did not officially open until 20-40 years later. By then, though, there was great movement "west" into western PA, Ohio, and beyond. Migrations occurred during every decade from 1800 to 1840, with families moving in...and other families moving out...of newly settled areas.
