This is about Native American Ancestors and other things. And sort
of way off topic. But I was thinking about what you said about the
Native American people you belong to. Which is always interesting.
I live in Daniel Boone Country here in Kentucky, where was I born in
the fork of the Cumberland Road and Daniel Boone Trail in an old
wilderness house here, also not far form the Warriors Path Fork; next
to the old Shawnee River now called the Cumberland River. My mothers
family, the "Wombles" have ties to the Brule and folk such as Crazy
Horse (and or Sitting Bull, I forget which one of them, my Uncle knows
which) out of the Dakotas who came down the Louisianna Trail and turned
up in here around the times of Tecumsee. One of my Brule ancestors was
so dark that they were kidnapped and sold as a slave. My fathers
family lived up in Warriors Path, or Flat Lick KY and have Shawnee
ancestors. White people did not come from out of Warriors Path KY, but
they live there now a days. We have Choctaw and Chickasaw as well as
Cherokee ancestors also and are related to some Boones and Walkers.
Dr. Thomas Walker is the white discoverer of this area which led Daniel
Boone into here later. Part of my family is Irish and have ties to
folk in the Royalty of England via the Valentine name. Some of the
folk who bear the name Wombles are royalty their also. Native
Americans who could read English took to the name Wombles since if
means "One who lives by or comes from a place where there is a well of
spring."
Where I lived at in Charlestown Indiana; which is where my family
took me after I was born here, they found a stone there with Daniel
Boone's name on it and believe that is the furtherest north he ever came.
According to Wales and their old maps and books, "supposedly" Prince
Madoc (Maddox) of Wales sailed up the Ohio River in about 900 A.D. and
settled there. Actually there are ancient ruins in Charlestown Indiana
of what might have been a sort castle from over 1000 years ago. The
name of that site is Devil's Back Bone. And the Shamo Ruins. There
were yellow haired (blond) Native American tribes from there according
to the old records of the settlers.
We have a few reservations here (in KY) which are not on the map and
a Native American Council up in London KY. Many of the white folk here
have Native American ancestors. My great grandfather was Daw (Black
Crow) Jackson, and his father was Mace (War Club) Jackson. Do not let
the last name fool you. These folk were Shawnee. My name and looks
may suggest all Anglo Saxon.
We have a treaty with the Cherokee in Oklahoma to come here and do
their hoop dance and trade with us during the Daniel Boone Festival
this coming month of October and we trade cane with them. There are
allot of tee pees and old wilderness camps that go up each year here.
They take away allot of cane for use in crafts. Last year the cane
appeared to be short and so that was a disturbing thing for the
Cherokee who come here from a long distance each year. We always have
booths and tents and tee pees that go up in and around the time of the
Feast of Tabernacles or Succoth. (Barbourville KY)
Technically; we are celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles this way,
since old times here. This is where its at and has been a long time now.
Anyways, Native American ancestry is always more interesting than
European ancestry. I support the ways of old and support the Native
American Church also. However my faith is Yahwistic Elohisism. I
believe that Yahweh is the Great Elohim or Great Mighty One of Old and
that Yahshua is the Son of Yahweh. That means I read the Bible and
believe in it fully. I just have a technical name for it and perhaps a
new name.
*Way back in the creation, before the days of Adam. A meteor crashed
into the earth here and created a crater and helped make a passage way
possible known as the Cumberland Gap. When the white settlers found
the meteor crater, they noticed it was like a big bowl and so they made
a settlement there now known as Middleboro Kentucky since it is in the
middle of the crater. In around 1995-96 when I came back to my birth
place here after 36 or so years in Charlestown Indiana, a large stone
slid out of the mountains here that had ancient text on it. Some think
it is similar to ancient Phoenician? It is on display now in
Manchester KY. It might be found on the Internet? So that stone (the
meteor) was laid in the foundation here in the creation before the
first man and woman; and made possible the South Eastern Gateway as it
is called in some history books. {The Cumberland Gap}
The settlers found allot of these ancient stones with text on them in
the mountains here but time swallowed them up until one came sliding
down a mountain and landed in a local highway near here; about a year
after I came back to my birth place here from Indiana. Folk here in
times a few thousand years ago could read and write. So my foundations
are on this rock or rocks. My life goes from the rock that fell in the
creation to the one that Daniel Boone carved his name on in Indiana now
back to the one that fell out of the mountain. And to the one that is
way higher than I. I stand on one leg who's roots are in this land
from ancient times and the other leg has root's is in the Old World
across the Atlantic.
I consider Charlestown Indiana my hometown though. I married a nice
Jewish gal who's father's family converted to Christianity after they
came here from Germany in the early part of the 20th Century. We have
a beautiful daughter who is a Civil Engineer now at the Federal
Building in Louisville. She will be going for her Doctorate in
Mathematics.
We have a very famous rock group from Charlestown Indiana called
"Days of the New" and as a guitar player I naturally know them as
friends, home town boys. Travis Meeks and Matthew Tull, ect.
Truth is strange than fiction. A good story is a good story. Know
your roots and your foundations! I believe God knew us all even as far
back as the very foundations of creation. He looked ahead through time
then and saw us all here today.
Old Dan is "Old Man Rattlesnake." I got a real mean streak in me.
Daniel Jackson
