The Proclamation of 1763 based on a Treaty between the British and Native American Indians was intended to keep White Settlers on the east of the Appalachian Mountains. But as early as 1744, explorers had already made it to current Greene Co, Pennsylvania in SW PA. Single families began to push west by the 1760s (example ARNOLD family in today's Fayette Co. PA by the 1760s). A trickle became a more pressured advance by the 1780s-1790s with more small groups entering PA, and current boundaries of OH and WVA. By 1790, no one could hold back the migrations, which increasingly continued through every decade until at least 1850-1860.
