Southern Ohio Brown County 17 miles north of the Ohio River 50 miles east of Cincinnati And 50 miles west of Portsmouth.
That sounds like it’s right along the path our people used from where Richmond now is into Ohio. The tracks of the Norfolkd and Southern RR follows their old path. All along that way you hear from lots of Blackfoot ID’d people.
I new at looking for information on the Blackfoot People. I have some stories that have come down from the past through friends and family.Stories that concern the Blackfoot. I am trying to get inspired to write them. I belong to a tribe ( not Blackfoot– my wife is Cherokee) that has a good news letter edited by a wise old Indian( even if he is a few months younger than me )and his wife. Do youall have a news letter? Would you be interested in these stories? I am going to write them for my family and maybe for the Beaver Creek Tribe news letter. Yes I live only a few miles south of the Norfolk & Western RR(now the Norfolk Southern). I met aman a few years ago who said he had documented his Blackfoot ancestry and that our Blackfoot had winter headquarters in West Virginia.? If we should decide to come to your gathering at the last minute (our health is not as good as it was 40 years ago) do you think we could find a camping spot?
Hello and welcome Blackfoot5, I would like very much to hear from you and what you can share, I think that all of us have pieces of the puzzle that is common to all of us here, Iam really very happy that you are here, btw, I live in canada and am a very long way from Nc. All the best Tom
I am not very computer literate; so if I got an answer to do youall have a news letter ? I missed it! I will post a story or two that have come down through the years.
Blackfoot5:
We do not have a newsletter but it sounds like a good idea. In the meantime, can you post your stories here? We all would like to hear them. Since most of use have the Blackfoot ID in our families, we are all very interested in your stories.

Well, you know, if every year you say something like, “Next year in Jerusalem,” it eventually will come true.
Blackfoot5:
Glad you joined the site! I would love to read your stories when you write them! Please post them on this site if you can.
Also, do you have any more info. on the Blackfoot that had winter quarters in WV? I have came to a road block in my search with my ggggrandfather and ggggrandmother in the early 1800s. Can’t find them in any records on the internet. A distant cousin found them listed on the 1850 census as being in Taylor Co. WV. Other than that, no other info. has been found. The are believed to be Seneca & Eastern Sioux. If you wouldn’t mind sharing your info., maybe it would give me some clues on where to look.
Thanks!
