Aggie was a Full blooded Cherokee Indian or so they say….. This is a story from an Unknown Author but I thought it worth for discussion!<\/p>\n
“When Kentucky was first being settled, emigrants from either
\nNorth Carolina or Tennessee, headed by a man named Cornett,
\nreached the Kentucky River late one evening. They decided to
\nmake camp and wait until daylight before crossing the river.
\nThey had wives, children, livestock and equipment with them.
\nAfter supper they were sitting around their campfire talking,
\nwhen Indians dashed into camp and captured two of the little
\ngirls. Three of the white men saddled horses and went after the
\nIndians. Late in the night they caught up with the Indians, who
\nwere not expecting pursuit and had made camp. The men advanced
\nnear enough to see the girls asleep on pallets near the fire.
\nEach man agreed to dash in and grab one of the girls. This they
\ndid and got away without a fight. When they came to their own
\ncamp the men discovered that they had also captured a little
\nIndian girl. The next morning after crossing the river, the
\nemigrants decided to keep the Indian girl. Mr. Cornett agreed
\nto take her and raise her.<\/p>\n
