page 222, Carlson's dissertation "Who's Your People."
quote: (any typos are mine)
"--- The citizen Indian population associated with Stone Mountain and Greasy
Rock had grown in the 1820's and 30's, so much so that some whites around
them noted different "clans" among them, and noted the intense family
relations between their primary families. The primary family names, like
"The Collinses", "the Gibsons" and so forth became social identifiers that,
locally, linked them to their Indian idenity. ------But there were a
growing number of families who preferred spending more and more time in the
Kentucky mountains and often spent a season or more there in small family
groups. Valentine Collins' band of Saponi Cherokee was among those who
maintained this practice and it would be those families who, by 1840, had
finally set the roots of what would come to be known as "The Salyersville
Indian Population."
Is this the Valentine Collins whose "band" is spoken of in Carlsons
dissertation:
Valentine 'Vol' Collins, born (in Virginia) about 1760 , Wife Dicey Price
David Collins Born about 1805 (in Hawkins Co TN) listed on U.S. census as
Indian, wife Polly Dale (Saponi/Shawnee)? (also have seen Polly Bunch, not
sure on this one)
