Beginning to think my computer is broke......Think I've only seen one post since last Saturday.....

So here goes......Has anyone here ever done any research on Chief Doublehead or Princess Cornblossom?

Close, but not quite.........My "relationship calculator" on my FTM says Chief Dragging Canoe and Chief Doublehead were first cousins. Doublehead's daughter, Princess Cornblossom, married Jacob "Big Jake" Troxell, they had several daughters, two of which married Blevins men. One of these was Jonathan Blevins, who was a brother to my ggg-gf Richard Blevins. All this reportedly happened in Wayne County, KY, where Richard lived before he moved southward to The Sequatchie Valley of Tennessee and later to Alabama. This was right in the middle of the Cherokee Nation, whose ancient homeland was located in the Great Smokey Mountains, and whose principal towns were located along the Little Tennessee River, including their capital city of CHOTA. When the first white settlers came to Kentucky and Tennessee, they took care to stay on good terms with the Cherokee. (This was after the "Long Hunters" made trips from Virginia and Maryland to the area.) This is all detailed in a book titled "Jonathan Blevins, Sr. of Virginia and His Descendants" by Ray and Laccie Blevins." The book has one whole chapter devoted to "The Cherokee Indian Connection" Part of this Blevins group, consisting of Armistead Blevins and his son. Hugh Armstrong Blevins, later moved to Hempstead County Ark, and settled the little town now known as Blevins, AR. There are accusations that a lot of the "Cherokee" characters never existed and are the product of some writer's fertile imagination. However, there are markers for Doublehead, Cornblossom and Big Jake Troxell in that area. (Pictures in the aforementioned book). But, then again, maybe those are just for the tourists..... But, it still make research fun, doesn't it?.....HRB > No Harold~~mine are Chief Dragging Canoe and his bunch~~ > hugs Jean > > > > ________________________________ > From: Harold Blevins <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, June 7, 2012 5:29 PM > Subject: [ARIZARD] Where is everybody? > > Beginning to think my computer is broke......Think I've only seen one post > since last Saturday..... > > Might be a good time to ask if any one has any Cherokee ancestry.....We > haven't visited that subject in a while....
