Yer correct there Billy...but...in the southwest va/northern nc mtns...there were a few who snuck by the masses. I dont know the exact number...but I do know that later on in the mid 1800's, they were granted the use of land in nc in hopes that the remaining cherokee from Tenn, VA and GA would kinda group up there and not cause no trouble.
I'm not sure if my ggggrandparents were there er not. I do know that they have been livin in the mtns of VA since at least 1900.
Family stories say they hid in the mountains and never left their ancestrial home, but I have no proof of that.
I give em credit fer bein hardheaded...their families survived because of them.
