Now you’ve done it......
A cherokee chief with red hair is legendary in Soutwest virginia counties of Scot and Wise.
He was known as Chief Benge, a terror to settlers and a posessor of red hair.
He was however a halfbreed scott/cherokee i think..
Uh oh. LOL My Cherokee ancestors (from Chattanooga and NC)were intermarried with scotsmen I believe - Shoemake (then changed to Shoemaker and other variations) Not German like you would think that name was.
