Blevins were white who married into the Cherokee. Most rolls were taken in anticipation of a payment or claim for payment. Why would they 'run' from that? The rolls weren't 100% but they're all we've got. The region of Kentucky was not an area of heavy settlement for Indians we call Cherokee. It was ground claimed for hunting ground...lands they'd had conflicts with the Shawnee over during a long period of time. The majority of the settlement by them that we know about was in southeast Tennessee, south west North Carolina, northwest South Carolina, northeast Georgia. And, of course, the Chickamauga settlements in northeast Alabama and the region around what is now Chattanooga, TN Joyce Gaston Reece
