"Stand by for some links. Please send me your private email so we will not bother everyone else with the traffic." I can't speak for everyone, but I am on this list to be "bothered" by these stories. They are fasicnating. The stories relate to all of our ancestors both directly and indirectly. I've found many clues by reading things such as you wrote. Thanks Judy

I'm searching for O'Briens from Washington-Carter County area. Carolyn

I also have Cherokee, English, Irish ancestors who lived in Washington Co. I am interested. In fact, I am going to look to see if there is a Ross or Simpson in my family file--those names sure sound familiar. Jean Bails

John Ross was the son of an Scot-Irish trader and a Cherokee woman. I will send you some links. He was chief of the Cherokee for several years and has been called many names, most of them not good. He has been accused of massacres and most every other crime you can imagine. He was the arch enemy of John Sevier, one of my ancestors. Remember, he lived in a time when Indians were routinely massacred and black slavery was the norm. Indians refused to be enslaved so what good were they? John Sevier was such a racist that he routinely killed Indians with a butcher knife so as not to waste bullets on them. That fact is well documented. He even gave the knife he used a name. He would raid the Cherokee villages and slaughter the people because they supported the British during the Revolutionary war, and I believe, simply because he did not have any respect for them as people and saw them as a nuisance to be eliminated. Try reading a book called "Old Frontiers" by John Brown to get a flavor for the mood of the times. It is a difficult book to find but you can now order a paperback copy from Amazon.com. It's the book that hooked me on the history of the East TN area. I couldn't put it down! Stand by for some links.

I am not sure which set of Ross' I am looking for at the moment. My Henry Simpson recieved land from Allen Ross' estate. Allen was a son of William Ross and Rebecca Carter Hardin Ross. William was the son of John Ross from Ireland. Was Chief Ross from that set of Rosses? Somehow Henry was related to them.

John Ross "the halfbreed" and Chief of the Cherokee? I have a lot on him and there is much on the internet. If that is who you are looking for let me know and I will send some links. he is an extremely interesting person.

Especially if you know anything about John France who married Betsy Burris.
