There is no telling how many more of us there would have been had this massacre not occurred. How many contributions would have been made if these 110 people had lived. I think my family also has a connection to Corn Blossom through the Black Fox line and also have Lovelace family buried in the Parmley cemetery.

Ky. since 1776,when it was all Virginia.<br>It was always rumored that we had Native blood,but nobody dared to admit it due to persecution and fear.This was then the stronghold of the mighty Thunderbolt Cherokee<br>People.It it rumored that they fell after a massacre at Ywahoo Falls when Franklinites trapped , raped and ! killed all women(mostly pregnant) ,children and elders of the nation.<br>110 people that I feel very close with died in a genicide attempt on Aug.10th 1810.<br>(200 years ago this year) and 30 some years before the "trail of tears".
