The Shawnee and the Cherokee were together in 1600's at Winchester VA. Most records were destroyed. But information can be found. Most Cherokee have Shawnee ancestors and Lenni-Lenape/Delaware.( Algonquin) We are thankful for them. Abraham Lincoln had his troops destroy the entire Winchester (Opequon Shawnee village) area, 72 times, and then burned it.Both George Washington and Lord Fairfax lived there with the Indians. Only the Natives know the story and "what" Lincoln was searching for...... The Winchester occupants went to Texas and elsewhere during the Civil War. And returned to rebuild.

I don't remember anything in History about Pres. Lincoln serving in the military? And how can you destroy an area 72 times? Most of them when something is destroyed, it can only be done once. What are the titles/authors of the the out of print books that you got your info. from ? How do you know the clan's that your ancestors were a part of? ----- Original Message ----- From: "BARBARA GORDON-LANTTO" <[email protected]> > The Shawnee and the Cherokee were together in 1600's at Winchester VA.
