> List: Would anyone know what Tribe of Indians lived in the area of > Flintstone? Thanks Lyell Most of the Indians who came down the Warrior Mountain trail in the Flintstone/Oldtown area usually stoped at Oldtown where Daniel Cresap lived. The Cresap home was called Shawnee Old Town. Since Warrior Mountain was part of the Indian's road to the southern states, it's for sure they had Indians in Flintstone since it's part of the trail. There were some tales in Twiggtown that Fleet Foot John Twigg married an Indian woman named Ruth FARMER, about 1784. Those who saw her black hair and dark complexion did not want her living in their area. Hilary Willison of Flintstone was the grandson of another Farmer girl, noting that she was a sister to Ruth Farmer and this family was not Indian. Not sure where that puts me since Ruth Farmer is my Great Great Great Grandmother. And Elizabeth Farmer Willison is also my GGG Grandmother And Samuel Bucy's wife was another Farmer GGG Grandmother.

Connie: I spent alot of time in the Flintstone area when I was a young man. I remember many trails that were slick from Indian traffic. I walked the trails on Warrior Mountain and saw a area where 20 to 25 round rocks were in a circle, indicating a Wigwam or Tipis was located there. Also the fact that a abundance of water in the area would have provided fish and a source of drinking water for the Indians and the Game. I never did see where any local Indians were buried so I don;t know what they did with the body after Death, My GGrandfather;s Mother was Indian, living in New York,which I understand that Indians from Pennsylvania and New York used the Warrior Mt. trails to go South. I don't know if the Flintstone Indians stayed thru the Winter or went South to a warmer climate..

Lyell Neat that you remember this. I remember in the halfway area, I think, being at a quarry and seeing fossils in the rock walls. One never knows who has our Sams information so ask, ask, ask and surely someone will have the answer. Any information on the family? I talked to Nile several months ago about car tires but nothing about family. Bert Connie: I spent alot of time in the Flintstone area when I was a young man.
