Yeah, they would need them. In a tribe of about 400 able-bodied men, following Will-Usdi or William Holland Thomas brought a lot of suffering on them. Thomas spent most of his life from 1867 on in the state insane asylum in Raleigh. Most of the whites and mixed breed Indians (from around Robbinsville and the Unaka Mountains)... who had hid out there during the removal... like my Dockery and Bushyhead relatives (their Indian name) would scat on back to their pappy's farm and live much the same way they always did until about the 1940s. I think all of that Cherokee, Clay, Graham and Jackson County and more was all Buncombe County in the early days.
