It might be surprising that it is not one of the Original Thirteen. It is Ohio. Bounty land reserves for soldiers in the Continental Line were in the Buckeye State, so veterans from every state moved west. Ohio could be reached from Pittsburgh via the Ohio River Valley as well as by land via the Cumberland Gap and the Wilderness Road blazed by Baniel Boone.
