I've heard of Chief Red Bird actually tripped across him on a list or census the other day, Tehlequah as well. How did your search go? Were there any snags, if so, how did you resolve them? ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Harold Young" <haroldyoung@columbus.rr.com> Reply-To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Cherokee Circle] Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 20:20:18 -0500 Osiyo Friends, I am new to the list, but I know that the Cherokees lived in Kentucky. My ancestor, Chief Red Bird had village in Clay County, KY.His village was called Tehlequah, the same as the Cherokee Nation, OK. Another of Red Bird's descendants, my cousin, Dr. Ken Tankersley, who is head of Native American studies at Northern Kentucky University is my source. I have found 3/16 Cherokee Blood so far. The ancestors in KY hid there to be able to stay in their beloved eastern Mountains. Back before the 1700 hundreds Kentucky was Virginia. In my home county Lawrence County, KY there was a small village called Cherokee, and today it is stll called Cherokee, Ky. For all this knowledge there is no charge. I work free!
