My family...both sides..are from Johnson County,.....Estep and Salyer

I am from Breathitt Co Jackson Kentucky. Was born in Perry county my mom moved to Jackson when I was two years old I lived there until I was about 41 I been gone for 28 years now. My grandmother was kin to the Mc. Coys and my grandmother on my dad's side were full Cherokee. I remember when grandmother would tell us stories of times past she said almost ever nite they have to turn the oil lamps off because men would shoot into your home. They told me about Ole Tom Smith too. They hanged him in the court house lawn on a big tree grampa seen his hanging. I know many many terrible stories of Blood Breathitt that my grandmother and grandfather told all the family. My grandfather was killed when he was crossing a fence but some guy he had been having problems with. Breathitt Co has many of stories like the Frozen Flood so many people do ied that day my grandfather went to recover body's baby's in the trees it was so sad to hear. Thanks for your videos.

Micajah Burnett was NOT 12 years old when he designed the staircases in the Trustees' Office. He was born in 2791. The building was built in 1839 and 1840. Do the math. He was 48 years old.

Thank you Neeaway

His older brother Chesika was also clairvoyant it runs in the family I love my people ❤ I now live in Arizona

New Madrid earth quake my mothers people are Shawnee they lived in Kentucky at that time in the Cumberland river eastern region she moved to Ohio and that’s where I was born and grew up this is true

I heard my Troutmans mentioned! I know there is a small mention of a Troutman's Station, possibly near Morgan's Station, but I've struggled to find more beyond that.

Only the fortunate know who their ancestors were

Love the channel. I do some research too...

Any history on mckinney station in Lincoln County? I'm a desendant of Archibald mckinney

Do you have any information on John Vardimon? I recently discovered my ties to him, the Bryants, and the Boonsboro fort.

ever do anything on Scuffletown Ky

Maybe fighting on your own hook would mean something like you're the bait in your own trap? A fish might get caught on the hook, but the worm still gets eaten.

Thanks for the History lesson

Love the music here.Any bluegrass music coming up soon

What sort of silly question is this?? Of course they did..

Being a Cherokee-American combat veteran, I relate to one of my heroes, Tecumseh. He's a visionary leader who had a brilliant idea of an alliance of the Tribes. If he had been successful, we might have been able to keep the colonists from crossing the Appalachian Mountains, where I was born right on the side of a mountain in fact, and our Tribe considers our home. With his death at The Battle of the Thames, we saw our opportunity to prevent people from taking our land. That's true.

My Ancestors innermarried with the Native Sizemore clan from SE Kentucky. My bone structure, teeth and all look Cherokee even to my professor over 40 years ago who had pointed this out in class. That area had more than one tribe. Mostly Shawnee and Cherokee. I have 3-4 generations of ancestors who had marriages within the Natives or those of Native descent. Our history books were wrong! I think it was the English men who wrote their desired narratives to coverup the truth that Kentucky was Native land which got stolen. PERIOD!

Hello Sir, I Visited your KZbin channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO seems to be lacking, though your content is fantastic . Wondering why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 1/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I also noticed that your video thumbnail was good. If you'd like, I can assist you with improving it. I think your KZbin channel will make your dream come true. I am waiting for your response.

My Ancestor was a Member of the club and either he or his son was a 3 time congressman in the Whig party Willis Green

Three grandparents came from Harlan county. Going back to land given to vets of the of Revolutionary War. Mainly when Jesse Brock settled on Wallins Creek is how much of the family got there. Coal mining featured heavily in their lives. My mother grew up in a Ky coal camp. DNA showed mixed european, native american, and african. Ancestor lines, Brock, Thomas, Vaughn. Helton, Hazelwood, White and Queen. Found intermarriage of cousins, noted some had same maiden name as husband. As a child lived with my father's people in Claibourne county. So I tell folks am the product of 200 years of appalachian inbreeding. liked hearing about the history.

Throughout the years the Indian tribes also learned how to develop" happy hunting grounds" planting species of plants that would attract certain animals . They also designated certain territories for species of trees of nuts and fruits . They absolutely worked in harmony with natural nature . Many of the Indian tribes believed in a Garden of Eden but perhaps on three different levels. As for the matching resembling megalithic architecture all over the Earth they had some of it here but it has partly been dismantled reincorporated into dams farming walls and even into the white settlers foundations . Driving in certain parts of Louisville, Indiana , and Circleville Ohio region we can still see megalithic architecture that was built before the Indians ,but has purposely been allowed to overgrow with trees and grass so it can't be detected easy , but we can plainly see it with Earth Google and lidar infrared radars

Grew up in Pomeroy Ohio There are quite a few dams between Pittsburgh and Quincy to keep the river at a navigable depth

We've been here 30k plus years all over the globe. Along with others giant and smaller. Used to be pyramids on every Continent and everything was free. No paper money. True freedom has been gone since the invention of money

McCracken native here. Old buddy of mine from Clinton. I wondered about that Fulton Co. island in the Mississippi.

My late Mother was born in Floyd county a long with 17 brothers and sisters. Her name was Ollie Shepherd.

Early pioneers before the 1820s around Donaldson Creek area include Futrell, Cohoon, Bridhges and others.

Went to school in Fairdale, Sonora, and Clarkson, left KY when mother was killed in a car accident in Clarkson, joined the Army and returned to live in Radcliff while stationed at Fort Knox. After the Army took be away from KY in 1983, I never returned.

Great stories and history

Great stories Love Kentucky and all history I’m 77 from Lewis County,Kentucky ❤

well said, thanks. Any intrest in a rock face at a primative place that has the name D. Boone on it ?

Great discussion and content. Thank you

Would love to see what Lake Tight looked like.

I'm afraid that native people lived everywhere BUT Kentucky.

How cool to see so many in the comments im related to. I'm connected on the Bryant side 😊

Awesome talk. Ya know, most studyin i've done, has learned me that the "Native" perspective isn't written. They pass history along verbally or thru action, with passion. Also, thanx for inspiring a rrip to Shawnee park for some reSPECTfull fun. i like reading the brass signage at such locations.🌌🏞👀💓🙏

I didn’t know that Goldenrod was so special I live in Kentucky myself

The love of finding and hunting Native American Artifacts in the Tobacco fields growing up led me to wonder how they made their points and tools. Which ultimately led to me learning how to Flintknapp myself. 2yrs into the hobby now but many years of studying.

My daughter and her family live on the river and visit the Falls of the Ohio often!

Awesome! Was going here soon.

Cateron mountain has to be up around hey 72 or it may be the brookside area

Ask Daniel Boone

By 1800 75% of the five tribes had Scottish, English or Irish surnames...you would have to travel way down the Ten a see river to find fullbloods who would make war on any settler in a flatboat. Very little is ever said of the fact trade of European goods and inventions, including horses with the natives resulted in the loss of land by treaty based on the paying of debts. The 1817 Cherokee losses in North Ga. were just that, to pay trade debts. Since these lands had been taken from the Muskogheans both by force and the fact these Mushkogeans lost wars with the new nation (1715 Yamasse for example) it was easy for the CHerokee to claim them. Arming the Cherokee led to the demise of the hated Westos but created a new class of slave hunters and slave stealers. I guess my point is that people like Moody miss that the superior culture prevailed at the expense of the native groups, but assimilation was a greater part of it than is noted in the literature. Even today its hard to find a fullblood who doesnt have a pickup truck and a television.

NOOooooo, Kentucky was Mexican.

No mention of how the "committee of citizens" burned his printshop while he was sick and before the newspaper was moved?
