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?
I was born in Ohio Co Ky but i was raised on my grandparents horse farm in Southwest Jeff Co - on Cane Run Rd - i remember the flood wall being built - we didnt like it - My parents moved basically across the river up on Hwy 11 - i look for evidence of prehistoric animals but i havent had luck
the Shawnee and the Cherokee always called Ky. the great land to hunt
Trying to find out where some of the Virginia Germana descendants were in Mercer before Boyle County was formed. In particular Wilhoit, Henderson, Garr, Cook families. About 1814. Julius Caesar Cook was a preacher at Shawnee Run Baptist Church. Daniel B Henderson in 1850 lived in District 2 of Boyle County.
Kentucky has some of the most beautiful land in all of America so yes they definitely lived here
Yeah sure….only had bows from 700 AD….yeah definitely
Half yall kinda dumb, Kentucky was the 13th state to join
yes they did because down at Rough River there is a missing village that people keep looking for that has disappeared. also on my cousin land ive found arrow heads and stone tools around a cave.
I grew up and live in Mason County. Read autobiography of John G Fee this year. These men were admirable for their commitment, in the face of overwhelming opposition, to human rights.
John G Fee is at the top of the list of people you should know about from Kentucky’s history!
Interesting video. Thank you. I passed through Riplely yesterday and saw the sign for the John Rankin House. Looking forward to visiting it in the future.
I just stood on the spot daniel boone went into Kentucky from hillsborough NC. What i learned the Shawnee made boone run the gauntlet and they didn’t honor that, black fish still sells him out for guns, boone escaped and beat black fish in the Battle of Boonesborough, with 444 native Americans and 12 British verse 40 militia frontiers men. The Shawnee God's gave black fish a slap for not following tradition
Big Bone Lick State Park is no longer being excavated but countless mammoths have been excavated from the area. Ancient tribes hunted there because is was a known source of food. People have always lived near their food source at least until it was exhausted. Wild game (deer, turkey, squirrel, etc) is still common. You can literally walk out in your yard and hunt (but it frequently pisses off the neighbors). That's right in Boone County in northern KY.
Could Henrietta county possibly be named after Henrietta Wood? The free black woman from Cincinnati tricked into slavery in Lexington Kentucky shortly before the civil war. She won a lawsuit after the war in a sum of $ 2500.00. I’m not sure if that may have been a dig in the KY house to smear it in the confederate sympathizers faces but ,considering Ky was suppose to be neutral and largely divided in half. It could be a possibility. That’s my own hypothesis though. Not likely but you never know with what’s lost in time.
My great grandfather fought for the Union even though we live in the Appalachian mountains , guess he was poor .
I was first raised in Paducah KY, named after Chief Paduc , I worked at the TVA plant Shawnee. We literally go arrow head hunting as a pass time. We still have Native barrial mounds you can see driving by. We just don't mess with them out of respect. The name of our state is indigenous.
I've been watching your videos hoping to see something about Hancock Taylor, Zachary Taylor's uncle. His was the first non native grave in Kentucky in 1773. He was buried by my fifth great Grandfather Abraham Haptonstall after they were attacked by Shawnee while out surveying in 1774. Taylor and Haptonstall were with James Harrod on the early trip surveying the Ohio River with Captain Bullitt before the founding of Harrodsburg and were the first, in 1769, along with Hancock's brother Richard to take the Mississippi river all the way to New Orleans. French explorers went down the river a hundred years earlier but only went as far as the delta, 376 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. I have been compiling information on Abraham and Hancock who it seems from all accounts were very good friends. I have a lot more information if that is a story you would like to do a future episode. I've been enjoying your channel .Keep ' em coming.
Glad you’re enjoying them! We don’t have anything specific about Hancock Taylor but it looks like we need some. There’s more on the way!
Are you really so naive to think the natives didn't live in any one particular state??
The only thing about this president as he died shortly after he came into the white house.
My late husband was from Breathitt county,lived in Stray Branch
I farmed in ky in-the 80s I found a small bucket of arrowheads when i plowed every spring .
I live down straight creek called Stoney Fork 3 miles from Harlan county line all my people are from Harlan and Leslie County and I would love to find my ancestors records
Would I have to go to Virginia to get records of my ancestors
Depends on when they arrived, most likely not.
My great grandma was a full blooded Cherokee
My family was from Harlan county
You guys are the best. You'd think you wouldn't get too much indiana history on this channel but you do. Much love from Floyd County!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
My grandfather William Holland was born in South Carolina in 1774 and he is buried in Princeton Kentucky 1843 so doesn't that make our Last name older than America.
It sure does!
Ahh, the Howard Zinn version of history... Native America was a peaceful utopia prior to European contact, and literally EVERYTHING bad is the fault of the "colonizers". That's not very useful, and it's not even history!
Most people do not realize or give this a second thought - The Kentucky and Southern Indiana region was the "Wild West" - The Louisiana Purchase opened up everything but The people who settled came through and spent a lot of time along 64 west -
I never believed native people didn't live in Kentucky. When I was much younger, i used to hunt for artifacts and the stuff i found led me to think that people did in fact live in Kentucky in a full time basis.
Is this really a question…… I think it’s obvious just based off yer average person that owns land in the right area and knows what to look fur. Take care
Good information, but please get a couple microphones and a mixer to make the audio understandable. The acoustics in that room are horrible. You shouldn't be more than 18 inches from most microphones, unless they are specialty microphones like a Shure 644 shotgun microphone. You don't need a fancy swing arm and spit guard like so many on KZread use. Just a Cardioid microphone on a short desk stand for each of you and a cheap mic mixer. If bought used, it could cost under $50.. Thre are cheap but usable knocks of famous Shure microphones for under $10 each, and an old Radio Shack or Shure mixer cab be found for about $25. You might even get one from a church or club hat upgraded their sound system. I did commercial sound and Broadcast engineering for many years so I favor the older, rugged and easy to use designs. I see that Ali Express has a clone of the SM57 microphone for under $5 right now.
This was great! So many wonderful historical artifacts. Does every county have a research/genealogy center? I know there's a tiny one at my main library, but I haven't gone in, because I figured they wouldn't have info on my family, since it's a different county.
Sadly no. It would be a very nice addition to any library!
I’m a transplant living in Jackson county Ky. I’m from near Ft. Fisher NC. I have never heard any of this stuff. Thank you for making this video.
You’re welcome and glad to have you in Kentucky!

You should do an episode on the Harpe brothers.
Yes! They are on the list!
I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and I am loving it!

Nothing like an effeminate Indian expert to postulate n the history of indigenous peoples. Most of these people claiming Indian blood need to look at possible Melungeon heritage.
Cheif goldenhawk is buried just 4 miles from my house he is also my great great uncle lots of others in the same grave yard
What’s the name of the Theme Song?
“Dude Where’s My Horse” Nat Keefe
Interesting.
30 years after his death Virginia did pay Clarks widow 30,000 dollars that they owed him.
My 9th great grandfather James Ramsey married Elizabeth "Betsy" Pittman in Harrodsburg in 1782. Later he was a private with Georger Rogers Clark in the Kaskaskia campaign and was at the Vincennes Fort Sackville campaign. I am wondering if he was in the Kentucky County militia?

What about all the evidence of paleo indians in the red river gorge?
Most likely before they probably were forced to move.
What a bizarre question?
