I have read some books that say Turkeytown was actually a string of ssttlements that covered a twenty mile stretch. Maps show the main location as being the Turkeytown off of Hwy 411 in between Gaston High School and the Appalachian highway. However, other maps also show the main location as being around the present location of the Cherokee county library. One author says the reason being is that both locations were used as "command centers" with one being on each end of the settlement. Either way there is no real evidence of the Indian settlement in either location other than one or two signs put out by the highway dept in the Etowah county location. It has always been my understanding that Pathkiller ran the ferry that eventually turned into Garrett's ferry. I may be wrong but it would explain why he is buried at Garrett Cemetery which is right beside the river. I havent seen anything on a map or in a book giving the Murrycross location, but I don't know everything. As far as Ballplay, Marvin Kelly showed me on a map where the indian playing field used to be. He lives not far away from it. It is about a mile or two away from the Beans and Greens restaurant. It is grown up with trees and such now and there is no real evidence of it now. The new ferry in question is the Hokes Bluff ferry. This ferry was one of the last ferries in operation in the state up till about 15 years or so ago. To my understanding, this ferry was never run by Indians. This ferry is not the same as the ferry in Murrycross. It is several miles away from it. Finally, the museum in Centre is not a Cherokee Indian museum. It is a museum of Cherokee County. They have some Indian artifacts in it, but not a whole lot. Hope this helps. John Awbrey
