Chief Cornstalk was my 7th Great Grandfather on my Mother's side. Genealogy and learning history can bring up many surprises. Thank you for making this video. Very well done. 👍
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
He is also my 7th g-grandfather, hey cousin 🫶🏻
My relatives on my mother's father's side is from Ross County OH. His grandmother was Shawnee.
Woah were all related to him yalls grandfather's mustve done it to the princess hahaha xD
Also my 7th great grandfather. Holy cow. Sup cousins! Cheeee! 🪶
Great presentation! I'm very familiar with this story. I've heard about Chief Cornstalk since childhood and I can't help but be impressed by him as a person. A man of peace yet also a great leader in battle. I've spent a lot of time in Pt Pleasant walking near the floodwalls which have those beautiful painted murals on them and I've been to Fort Randolph as well as Tu-Endie-Wei State Park many times. I like that this video covered a lot of the backstory and context leading up to everything. Usually summaries only cover the battle and his untimely end. A very informed telling here. Brilliant stuff yet again!
Thank you so much! Shooting this episode was the first time any of us had been to Fort Randolph or Tu-Endie-Wei. Point Pleasant has some of the most interesting histories in all of West Virginia. And we just felt to properly tell the story of what happened in the fairest way to the Shawnee, we had to provide the context of the world that these events took place in.
The story of Cornstalk is one of the more tragic pieces of West Virginia history
@34longbow A lot of blood was shed on those now trash strewn river banks, all for White Imperialism. Today the vast majority of the people who live here have little to show for it, white or otherwise. This land was raped of its treasures and resources all so a small few could grow wealthy and the rest of us are left with table scraps. But, I guess it would be foolish of me to expect something more righteous to come out of actions so heinous.
Chief Cornstalk, my 6th great grandfather, and yes I agree 100% you…our ancestors, many of whom perished defending their families and land… it saddens me looking back at the history of all indigenous peoples and the sorrows they endured that we could never imagine. They referred to our ancestors as savages, what is savage about defending yourself and family? I’m proud of my Shawnee and Cherokee ancestry.. so sad that many have lost the ways of our ancestors… I just found out last year of my relationship to the great Chief and sadly my family never discussed our native ancestry. Maybe out of fear? My great grandfather who was 1/2 Shawnee and half Cherokee was shot in the head and killed in 1959… just wish I had found out through stories passed down through generations but I’ve had to research everything.. sadly it was never spoken of…
My 6th ggf as well , great video
Thank you! We are a homeschool family and my son is doing a report on Shawnee. This was great to watch!
Glad to hear it was helpful to your son! That's exactly the type of thing we have created this channel for! Thanks for watching!
Another good entry for RecordWV! Looking forward to the next!
Thanks for watching yet again!
I recently found that that Chief Cornstalk would be my 6th or 7th great grandfather.
That's really cool. Definitely a good bloodline to be apart of. Thanks for watching.
Hey! We’re related. My story isn’t a super happy one (Cornstalk killed my 7th great grandfather, Frederick Michael See, at the Muddy Creek Massacre and I’m descended from the child his son had with Fredrick’s daughter, Elizabeth, who was kidnapped at the massacre and held for 9 years). Wild times in WVA/VA back then!
Mine too!
Me too !! But it would be nice to get our DNA together and create a family of his descendants that we can also prove. ❤
Thecaseforparkerandblueskyadkins
Chief Cornstalk was my ancestor. It's great to hear of his life.
He is also my ancestor. I would love to learn more about him and family.
Chief Cornstalk was my 5th great grandfather. Thank you for this video and keeping his legacy alive ❤
He is also my 7th g-grandfather, hey cousins 🫶🏻
Wow, I really love this video. It was really amazing. I love the scenery in parts of the video that showed actual areas in West Virginia, and/or the whole Ohio valley. We really need these sort of videos more often. I think they’re amazing and it really is an uplifting thing because it does draw interest, especially from young people in Sweden could really know how special of a place America truly is. I have such great reverence, love and respect for the Native Americans that used to dominate this land, and I think that they were treated unfairly course, but they also made some mistakes and did some terrible things themselves. Unfortunately when it comes to progress and Technology, and different civilizations meeting each other it always goes the way were the more technologically advanced. Civilization is going to usually unseat. The one that is not is advanced. Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes of the past and yet at the same time really love and respect and understand people, and the things that occurred in the past as well.
This was my 10th great grandfather. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting, love to hear about the history of our State, you hear the stories growing up, but not much in the details, your episodes bring light to the details and I enjoy that very much.
Thanks so much for watching and we are glad you are enjoying!
The history of ANY place and people on the planet has many dark chapters.
This is a really great video. Thanks for what appears to be an honest as possible recollection of the events of those days.
Thanks for watching, we try as hard as we can to make honest, historically accurate videos about West Virginia and its people! Glad you enjoyed it
Love this. I am a direct descendant of Chief Cornstalk
What an amazing bloodline to share!
We all need to get together !! So am I ❤
I just found out I am too!
@@dreamcatcher5502 Make sure the white men are not around when you gather as I learned in the last pow wow I attended from people that had gathered around wounded knee that the motel owners there woulnt take in natives and here in Canada, land claims are denied and fire is still very hot under the ambers...✨❄🐻⚜🔥
I am his direct descendant as well! How many of us are there? :)
Cornstalk is my 7th Great Grandfather on my mothers side. We're from the Blue Sky lineage. Thank you for this video!
Wish I would’ve had this series when I was taking AP US History! My teacher put a huge emphasis on the atrocities during this time.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully, some of the state's history teachers will play our episodes in class.
The Algonquin Chief, Hokoleskwa(aka, Cornstalk) of the Shawnee tribe, cursed the town of Point Pleasant West Virginia, when he died with a gun wound. This is something related to the Mothman, those who died in the silver gate bridge collapse as prophesied by the dreams which residents had after encountering the mothman. It is clear that the mothman is the Thunderbird from Algonquin legend, since Chief Hokoleskwa was an Eastern Algonquin chief of the Shawnee tribe. The Thunderbird is a positive being in the legend of Algonquin legend, that leads tribes into safer places, and also is an Omen that warns about disasters.
In our Mothman episode we talk about Cornstalk's curse.
He was my 8th Great grandfather.
That's very cool!
Mine as well. Howdy cousin.
Excellent documentary. Thanks for the great history lesson! Came here from reddit.
Hey! Thanks for coming over and checking it out. We appreciate your taking the time to watch and we are glad you enjoyed it.
The original Fort Randolph was located where the Mason County courthouse now stands.
Interesting. I am supposedly descended from him via Keziah Pannell. Glad to see this!
Thanks for watching! That's a great bloodline to be apart of.
We should all have a family reunion ❤
My 8x great grandfather
That's a great bloodline to be descended from!
Long long line of Shawnee, Pawnee, and Irish in that line, flathead and Scottish in a grandfathers line, Osage and black Scottish other grandfather and Irish in the other.... my Shawnee Irish grandmother always stared at me and I didn’t understand even though we were close, but now I have several granddaughters and 1 of them looks like me as a girl and I realized I looked like her, my grandmother, and according to my daughter I favor our great grandfather a lot. Except my green eyes, which are now almost completely blind, but I tell my grandchildren what I can about their line with great pride
@@fizer718 As you should. We should all take pride in our heritage. Best wishes to you and your family. Thanks for watching.
Thank you that was tremendous. I'm not from Point Pleasant but have had multiple episodes of life unfold there. My mother also met her spouse there after she moved from New York over twenty years ago. The thing is recently I've come across people in the comment section who claim the curse of Cornstalk was pure myth. Anybody care to weigh in on that? There is a website called americanhaunting that has a list of unfortunate events in and around Mason County such as the Mothman laden legend connected to the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967, but some of the list are things that occurred outside Mason County. I think any area could dredge up a laundry list of accidents and seemingly strange events but I don't know at this point. Did Cornstalk actually utter a curse with his dying breath or is that a fable?
From speaking with historians who are experts on Cornstalk and Native Americans in the area during the colonial period they believe it was just a fable created long after Cornstalk's passing. But, if he did or didn't utter a curse, it's still an interesting wrinkle to this already tragic story. Thank you so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
@@RecordWestVirginia Right on, thank you for the response. For me living in Point was an experience straight out of a book or movie. One of my favorite places in the US.
These very interesting but some would say distasteful episodes in American history should be discussed. Not to lay blame or guilt but just to give us a deeper understanding of who we are and why, for example americans value highly the right to own a firearm and be able to defend your home. I think as a society we are mature enough to look back on these chapters without getting uselessly emotional about it.
Great episode guys
This may be our favorite of the season.
@@RecordWestVirginia Mine as well
chief cornstalk was my 9th grandpa by blood
Great bloodline to be from.
Please make more videos 🫶🏻
We are putting new content out now!! Just released a couple of videos in the last few weeks. Thanks so much for watching!
Descendant of Blackfish here.
Chief Cornstalk is my mother's great great grandfather
Unless I missed something, you did not mention that Talgahyeetah ( Chief Cornstalk )
lost his love for the white man, as this Mingo clan had a camp along Yellow Creek 7 miles north of Steubenville. Across the Ohio river a camp of trappers, Jacob Greathouse deceptively invited cornstalk and clan,cornstalk did not attend. The trapper murdered the Mingos. that is what turned him against the whites.
It was not mentioned, but I appreciate you sharing it in the comment section for others looking for even more information about Cornstalk or Native/White conflicts in this region. Thank you!
The massacre of Cornstalk’s children is mentioned very prominent and graphically in Allen Eckert’s book The Frontiersman.
I just learned one of my ancestors was killed during the cornstalk massacre In West Virginia and it’s wild to think that my family moved from West Virginia to Ohio after this happened
Cornstalk was great man .
Yes he was!
Well, he took my 8th great grandmother as a slave wife…
@@braydiculous that was the time and life everybody was in . all the red men had slaves. But being a slave among them was different as being forced to work on cotton fields. If she became his wife she went up in the hierarchy. . People who got captured from other tribes had the chance to adopt and become a member of the new tribe. they got integrated and reached a similar status. Most slaves were captured from other native american tribes they lived in war with.
@@dietmarpiebrock3793 she was literally a sex slave stolen from her family.
I thought they killed Cornstalks son also. Why didn't you read Cornstalks beautiful speech he gave as he laid dying ??
They did kill his son also. The video mentions his son was captured with him and it mentions the angry mob opened fire on Cornstalk and the other Shawnee that were captured with him. It doesn't explicitly state that they all died as well, but they did.
@@RecordWestVirginia the most important thing that was left out was Cornstalks speech as he layed dying. He put a curse on the land. There is a bridge there and it just fell one day into the river. You should look it up. I hate when only parts of a story are told and sometimes the best parts are left out. Time to update this video !!!
@@dreamcatcher5502 We have an Episode on the Mothman and the Silver Bridge Collapse. Cornstalk's curse is mentioned in that video. We did not mention it in this video because there is no historical evidence that the curse ever existed. But, there is a lot of folklore about it and we discuss it in the episode on the Mothman and the Bridge Collapse.
@@RecordWestVirginia All I ask is that you add Constalks speech please. It would honor his memory and how the Americans betrayed him in the end. Cornstalks is my ancestor and his half told story dishonors his memory. Thank you ❤
Then why not retell it yourself so we all can enjoy the history? It would be lovely. I would like to know now that you've mentioned it.
this is my Great Great Great Great Grand Father
What a great bloodline to share!
Mary bluesky cornstalk was my 7th gr grandmother 🥰 you are mi familia 🤗
The family 😥
Absolutely one of the most tragic stories of the season.
Jesus Christ this guy's JACKED
You should see his workout routine. czcams.com/channels/8RZwpaidA3iyxl5KqeOnsw.html
Thank you, I ate my vegetables growing up.
So my mom said My great great great grandfather boned an native American tribe princess and um yeah I went on ancestry an ancestor finder thing and I'm not sure but my family might be related to him. And found out my father was British and she said something bout not being related to nazis or something I might ask my papa so yeah as a person who is related to a cheif I approve also my great great great grandfather was white so yeah im learning new stuff bout my family every day I'm not bragging and I'm not sure if this is right but maybe it is I dont know
So if I was related to this guy would I be immune to his curse?
✨
HONOR TO LEWIS WETZEL
