284. Aaron Chief Red Bird BROCK
Chief Red Bird Totsu'wha Aaron Brock
abt 1811, Red Bird RiverAccording to a historical marker which reads, "Chief Red Bird -Was a legendary Cherokee Indian for whom this fork of the Kentucky River is named. He and another Indian, Jack, whose name was given the creek to the south, were friendly with early settlers and permitted them to hunt in the area. Allegedly they were killed in battle protecting their furs, and the bodies thrown into the river here. The ledges bear markings attributed to Red Bird." [1966 Kentucky Historical Society, Kentucky Department of Highways #908]
If Aaron, Sr. was aka Chief Red Bird - Cutsawah, the Sizemores claim that he was the chief of the White Mountain Laurel band consisting (for about a 10 year period) of about 2,000 Indians most of whom had the last name of Sizemore. No one believes that he formally married Rhoda Sizemore, just had children with her. Red Bird was a Northern Chickamauga (traditional Cherokee) Thunderbolt (Lightning people of the Cumberland plateau) Cherokee war chief who signed a peace treaty with Dillon Asher. Red Bird's uncle [or brother] was probably Doublehead, a feared raider of white settlers who was executed by the famous Cherokee leader Major Ridge who (after signing the treaty which gave all of the Cherokee lands to the whites), was himself executed after being removed to Indian Territory (OK).
After the massacre at Yawhoo Falls in 1810 led by Franklinite "Big Tooth" Gregory, in which the Indian lookouts were overrun, and scalped and 110 women and children that were hiding in the room below the falls were slaughtered - unborn babies cut out of their mothers and dismembered - females who were not killed in battle were then raped before they were killed by the Indian fighters.
Arriving late, Red Bird and cousin [or neice] War Woman Cornblossom d/o of Chief Doublehead fell upon the remaining Indian fighters and killed them. After this, some of the Northern Cherokee volunteered for removal to Northern Arkansas (later again removed to OK), while others began to conform to the white man's ways and hide out in the mountains among the white settlers. After Congress passed a few more acts, the Cherokee were forceably hunted and removed to OK with a few escaping removal by hiding out in the mountains, caves, etc.The treaty did not save Red Bird, for he and his friend Jack were murdered by white hunters and their bodies thrown into Jack's Creek just off the Red Bird River.

CHRONICLES OF THE Scotch-Irish Settlement IN VIRGINIA EXTRACTED FROM THE ORIGINAL COURT RECORDS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY 1745-1800
AUGUSTA COUNTY COURT RECORDS. ORDER BOOK No. XXIV, page 345
Martin vs. Lindsay.--George Chowning, aged about 32 years, 14th August, 1765, deposes: Rene Laforce, aged 42, August 8th, 1765. Agnes Laforce, his wife, aged 40, August 8, 1765. Robert Cawthon, aged 29 years, 8th August, 1765.
Rene La Force (Jr.) was granted 900 acres in Goochland County, VA on the south side of the James River on June 1, 1750.
- - - - -
Rene, a Virginia Loyalist, sought refuge from the persecutions of his neighbors by removing from Virginia to the wilds of Kentucky about 1777. After crossing into KY they made camp one night. Two sons went off to hunt for dinner & caught something. One son laid down his gun to help clean their kill. After going to bed he remembered his loaded gun sitting outside. While trying to retrieve it in the dark it went off killing his father. Rene II was buried near their camp somewhere in KY
He was a man of means, with several sons and sons-in-law and a considerable number of slaves. The removal to Kentucky was a wholesale family migration, and, although La Force was accidentally killed en route when a member of the party dropped a gun, the others persisted in the enterprise and built a palisaded settlement.
There are records of an Indian raid at Martin's Station, June 1780 in Kentucky by a Shawnee raiding party led by a Capt. Alexander McKee. Among those captured and taken into Ohio and later Canada were the two daughters of Rene LaForce and their Negro servant girl (Candis). It is believed that Candis is the mother of Rachel. Documents recieved in Oct 2000 confirm the raid, capture, disposition and linkage between Candis, her mother Hannah, grandmother Betty and her daughter Rachel. These records are in the form of petitions by the LaForce family in 1784 and again in 1812-13 to the British government in Canada for the return of their slaves taken in the Martin's Station raid. They (petitions) describe the relationship between the captured slaves, and how, and to whom they were dispersred upon their arrival in Canada
