Comment on Chief Cornstalk: Shawnee Lineage by tmckenny

Oops. I have done a ton of independent “legwork” on this matter. We have spoken and exchanged emails with Ronnie and others about this family. Some of which has been copied and pasted onto these pages. We have spoke with others as well. We have and continue to research this issue in a myriad of ways. Part of that is seeking the opinions of others (whether or not those opinions may differ from ours), their respective ideas, thoughts etc. and the support/basis for the same.

Unlike most so called researchers/self-proclaimed experts, or those attempting to drive a conclusion, unless we can document ours or the conclusion of others with primary sources or credible secondary sources, we simply don’t accept something as being accurate or otherwise correct.

In your comments above, you refer to “my research”, “the earliest records I have seen”. I am simply asking you what that research consisted of and what those “records” might be, especially since you comment that there are no physical documents that support your conclusion, With all due respect, isn’t it fair to say that you are in fact relying on the conclusions of others, rather than independent research verifying/supporting what you think is the case.

Nothing in my comments should be construed to imply that I disagree with your conclusions. I am only asking that you share the basis of the same with me and others who might have an interest in this issue to allow us the opportunity to analyze that information and draw our own conclusions.

It is unfortunate that you have taken my comments, inquiries to be adversarial, because that is clearly not the intent.
