Location[edit]

The current article places Ingles Ferry within the city limits of the town of Radford. I believe this is in error. The actual location is shown on USGS maps. See for example Google version of the USGS Map Ingles Ferry was one of the two main colonial crossing points of the New River in the Montgomery County area. (the other was Peppers Ferry a mile or so north of Radford as the crow flies, but several miles as the river flows.) The Northern Branch of the Wilderness Road (not Boone's Road, this is a connecting route to Boone's Road) crossed the river at Ingles Ferry. That road, appears on the USGS map as 611. Its sometimes known as Rock Road, but locally it is still referred to has "Wilderness Road"

Also, the image of the "Ingles Ferry and Tavern at the top of the page looks to be misleading. Compare the 1890 photo, the reconstructed cabin photo and this one and you can see that this is a similar, but different structure. Note the add on's. It may be the later John Ingles House.

Someone had conflated Ingles Ferry (on Wilderness Road in Pulaski County) with the Ingles Bottom Archeological Sites, which includes the living history farm, the reconstructed cabin, etc. in Radford. Nyttend (talk) 22:35, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
