    NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002):
    Henry , 3/4 Piankashaw 1/4 white, grew up amongst the indians with very little contact with white civilization. He was 19 when the Piankashaw chose to support the French in attacks of nearby Fort Washington. Having chosen the English side Henry was conscripted into the Virginia militia, as were all able bodied white , black and christian men. The area of conflict that Henry saw was Ohio, Kentucky and Penn. It is highly likely that he took part in the expedition against Fort Duquesne. While in Penn. he met and married Barbara Graves.

    The war ended in 1763 and he probably moved in with his inlaws. he was persona non gratia with the Piankashaw. Suddenly the indians attacked again and he and his bride had to flee to Fort Pitt. The English government then ordered all settlers to abandon the region. Henry and relatives followed the Western Indian Trail and settled at Allamance, Orange County , N.C.(now Allamance Co.).

    In 1771 Orange County rose in rebellion against the N.C. government. Known as regulators they refused to pay sales tax as the Cherokee were showing signs of war making and Governor Tryon refused to mobilize the militia as it cost too much, thouggh he had just spent 15,000 pounds ( in todays terms over 4 million Dollars) of taxpayers money building his home. However, he did mobilize the militia against the regulators. As Henrys name is not on the list of loyalists we must assume he was a regulator as were 90% of the county. the militia attacked the regulators at Allamance and in a short battle dispersed them, the regulators were imprisioned. No the less within months the English government pardoned the regulators and redressed some of their grievances.

    Four years later the War of Independence began. Believing they had already pushed their luck, the regulators either joined the loyalist forces or remained neutral. Few joined the Patriots.

    In June 1776 the frontier was attacked by the Cherokee and Henry was called into the Patriot militia, 6th regiment to take the war ti the Cherokee in N.C. and tennessee, thus once again Henry was forced to choose sides in a war not of his likingng. This became very obvious when the 6th regiment was ordered to join George Washington at Valley Forge in Feb. 1778. In June Henry fought in the battle of Monmouth. In Feb. 1779 the regiment was disbanded so that the men could return home to fight the Cherokee. In 1780 N.C. was over run by the loyalists, and all able bodied frontiersmen gathered to stop them. They met the loyalists at Camden N.C. Aug. 16 1780, but suffering 8% casualties in a matter of minutes, Henry and the others scattered. Over the next two months the frontiersmen led by Francis Marion and others harrassed the loyalists. On Oct. 7 , 1780 the frontiersmen gathered under Colonel Benjamin Sharp and attacked 1000 loyalists at Kings Mountain. They killed 150 wounded and captured 850 and hanged 9 regulators, friends and neighbors of Henry. In Nov. 1780 led by Daniel Morgan the frontiersmen defeated the loyalists at Hammonds store S.C. and in Jan. 1781 at the Cowpens. However they were then defeated by the loyalists at Guildford iin Mar. 1781 and Hobkirks Hill in April 1781. They then defeated the loyalists at Fort 96 in July 1781 and Eutaw Springs in Sept. After this, Patriot regimenmts arrived to besiege the loyalists while the frontiersmen rushed home to fight raids by Cherokees and Creeks.

    For his service in the Patriot militia Henry was awarded land in Tennessee and moved there in 1784.
