Interesting you mention Jenny Wiley, my Collins family were some of the first land owners on Jenny's Creek in Johnson Co. Kentucky. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/10900, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=640763. <br />Thanks again for your kind words.

I think the story of all the people of...Great Post! I think the story of all the people of color in the east has yet to be told! I agree with another article you have on here that states it's going to be the family historians and genealogists that are willing to dig through countless archives and courthouses to find any shred of mention of their ancestors in the primary documents that is going to help tell the true stories. This along with DNA comparisons help move it forward. That is if they will share their info...some of them like to hoard what they find.<br /><br />Problem is with this research comes resistance to accept the truth, when the history books especially of the late 19th early 20th century relied on those old family stories SO MUCH and called it history. Having the same problem with the Jenny Wiley tale. She was in my county when she was captured by Indians and I've made a few neighbors a bit upset with what I found. I found a kindred blog..have to list you as one of my favorites. Keep up the good work. Appalachian Heartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345792002776421852noreply@blogger.com
