Why is/was it assumed that no Indians lived in the state of Kentucky? Sherry

There were NA in Kentucky....they just weren't Cherokee...Shawnee perhaps with others in their midst. It isn't assumed. Cherokee research shows no villages in what is now KY. I might suggest you read Mr. Worthy's "Chronicles of Border Warfare". It was written in 1830 and is reproduced in the original print. It may open the eyes of all NA researchers who tend to think that only the NA were abused. Unfortunately, it went both ways.

Yeah, I thought there were NA in Kentucky, but I forget who it was too. I usually research more of the Cherokee and Choctaw, but I don't think either was there. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Joyce G.
