Jenny Wiley is a cousin from my dads side of the family. My ancestors, Abuid fairchild, John Blair and Noble Blair were the first white men to settle the Johnson County area in what is now Paintsville and Staffordsville. Their Surnames are seen everywhere in the area. The Blairs are the same Blairs that Founded Princeton University and descend from the first families of Virginia at Jamestown. My surname Blair is one of the oldest in America. Jenny Wiley was kidnapped in a very very remote area, and the geography of the area had to make the search nearly impossible. I love that area, my old familys home. They married Rameys, and from those marriages, emerged loretta lynn, chris stapleton, Ricky Scaggs, and more. Music has been in my family since the Old World. Love this video!
My Amish ancestor, Jacob Hochstetler Sr., was captured along with two of his sons in Pennsylvania by the Delaware Indians during the French And Indian War. Jacob later escaped and had a similar dream that helped him in his escape. The entire story can be found in the book “Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler” by Harvey Hostetler.
Sir I'm not from the USA' can you give me a truthful view on opinion of Native Americans nowadays. I'm just getting some statistics thank you for your time.
Thank you for speaking the truth about history. I am indigenous, and I know history is not pretty. I like your uncensored approach to voicing of both sides
That's the truth. I have watched all the old films, and now even channels like TCM will not show great movies for fear they will offend… So over it… Hasn't been a good new movie out in a long time no plats no stories no histories… Even the one about Lincoln was wrong. Connecticut didn't have slavery. I am enjoying this series and other history channels. And the fact that they're true is even more amazing.
Hollywood are the big Jays, you know the word, they had a different agenda even much more now. They want to undermine our ace and promote those who burden and plague us.
The "messenger/rescue" type dream I've heard before. In the early 1800s a British ship got beached and wrecked on the northern west coast of Africa. The worst area to be stranded as the Sahara Desert runs right into the Atlantic. Plus the storm blew them too far off the shipping lane to be seen. I forget some details but the survivor got captured by Arab nomads who made him a slave and were physically abusive. He had to drink his own urine etc etc. He was losing hope when he started having a repeated dream. A man in a British type uniform, standing by a desk in an office kept encouraging him to endure and he would meet the slavers and rescue him. The slave holders decided to dump the sailor before he died on them, so they headed to a Mediterranean coast town. There just happened to be a British outpost in that town. To keep this short, a British officer found the sailor at the slave market. When the sailor saw him he knew this was the exact person who'd been in his dreams. The sailor was bought from his captors and he later returned to Britain.
I believe I read that book. But I don't remember the Captain having any dreams. I do remember 2/or 3 of his crew being rescued, as well as the Captain, after several years of captivity.
I totally believe. After a massive heart attack I felt my soul leaving my body. They got the clot I survived. However, some of my dreams since have been true foretellings coming from deceased relatives. I am pretty astounded by them that myself and they happen to me. There is much more than we know
Dreams from Heaven do happen though - I dreamt one night I was walking in a very large expanse with an angel - I had no idea where I was or where I was going but saw a man appear in the distance - I wondered who he was & the angel communicated with me 'Your father's friend' (my Dad was deceased) Finally I recognised him as a neighbour of my parents called Stan. Then I woke up, just after 3am - I didn't know what to think or do so finally said a short prayer for Stan & fell asleep. I was staying at my Mum's & related the dream to her over breakfast but of course she thought I was cuckoo. About an hour later the phone rang, my Mum answered & then looked straight at me - I whispered 'Stan?' & she nodded. It transpired that according to this other neighbour, Stan had taken ill during the night & fallen & hit his head. - So, things do happen that we can't explain. - I also had a pre-cognitive dream of my Dad's death (from a heart attack) & it occurred exactly as I had dreamt it about 10yrs prior.
Iove listen to your history channel it's very informative and some of your content is really gripping and I have to wait for other episodes of what was going on at the time. Very enjoyable 👍
It’s very interesting to me.. at the time that this all took place , my ggg grandparents and family lived just west of where this happened in Berea. I wonder how safe they were where they lived.
I can't believe all she had to go through. She had 5 children and her 15 year old brother that got killed right in front of her. But when she got back from her journey, she had 5 more 😭😄
Another fascinating video, was interesting to see that the narrative touched on the fact that the captive was defiled maybe by the Indians and even came back pregnant They were hard times
He doesn't say that this was a fact just that there were other accounts that an Indian girl may have been born to her after her escape. He also points out that there were accounts of her being taken to another location and sold as a wife but that these have very little uniformity and appeared to be conjecture. From this I gather that there is no factual evidence of her giving birth shortly after her escape or that she was defiled.
It is hard to believe one of my far back relatives was captured by Indians, inured grievously, and was scalped and killed at " Betsy's run" In west Virginia.; because she was bleeding out despite being tended by her captors. (the creek so named after her Elizabeth Dragoo) Her son lived with the Indians and married a squaw and died with them in Ohio at age 27. His 4 children were sent to live with white men, named Hayes, in a treaty with the Indians, and were taken back to the Appalachia in Kentucky.
Very interesting series glad I got to watch it, I’m curious did it ever mention the name of the Cherokee chief in the book at all? I’m assuming based on the time period that he was a Chickamauga chief.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Crown was kicked out of America because it wanted to tax the settlers, perhaps for other reaons too, but primarily to offset the increasing burden on the Crown of protecting the frontiers. After listening to this, I dont think that was such a unreasonable demand that the Crown was making.
Does this narrative ever acknowledge the vast number of eastern European/western Asian presence in Kentucky by the mid 1700s? The more I learn about where and when certain groups established strongholds, like the Hessians, the more I question what I grew up thinking about our history and legends like this take on a propaganda glow. Kentucky had a lot of Spanish settlements, Celtic, Prussian and Gaelic tribes - some of which have been lost to American history almost entirely but still get mention in the fine print
I was having a peaceful sleep when i dreamed a messenger from god came and told me to go to mongolia i said to the messenger i cannot just get up and go i hsve to go to work in the morning i have responsibility i told the messenger to go tell the man in our guest room he was a doctor lawyer pscychiatrist i told the messenger to tell him to go to mongolia . and went off to sleep mad. The next morning the guest said at breakfast it came to him in the night to go to mongolia so he would be leaving 3 days later he was on his way or already there he went to study mongolian home remedies something i always had an intrest of
@@amberlynmarlowe8704 , Good point for sure, and a fair one. I just know how the vindictiveness of American Indians didn't always stop with humans. They would often take out their anger on innocent animals as well, up to, and including "scalping" cats and dogs if they felt the need! So, that's what I have in mind when I feel so sorry for her poor dog. They may well have burned it alive at the stake, and I'm not joking when I say that!
It is apparent that you are of European descent, because in your 'story telling' you never once state that these poor white settlers were/had encroached upon lands that were clearly "Indian Land." They were not settlers they were trespassers. The whites were never victims of Indians, the Indians were the victims of white incursion. Your bias is typical of most "White History."

That is amazing.
I hope His sons escaped too😢
I will look for the book. Thank you
Wow 😮 That is incredible and I believe it 100%
Sir I'm not from the USA' can you give me a truthful view on opinion of Native Americans nowadays. I'm just getting some statistics thank you for your time.
Proud to say my daughters are descendants of Jenny Wiley.
Jenny is a hero .. brave beautiful woman .. just so sad losing her children. What strength and bravery ..
It was terrible, but she mercifully had another family.🙏
Thank you for speaking the truth about history. I am indigenous, and I know history is not pretty. I like your uncensored approach to voicing of both sides
Humans are humans-some good, some bad...
It was a difficult time to live, regardless if you were white or native.
Hearty agreement.. Humanity has plenty of wickedness to go around..
I just bought Very old book. It was printed in 1819. A History of the Indian wars in New England. I should have it by Christmas.
Thank you for posting this information. My grandmother was very proud that Jenny was her gggg/gm.
She was my 5th gg.
Much more exciting than anything Hollywood thinks up....
That's the truth.

Unworthy History is Worthy . 🤠🖖♨️
Good series.
Awesome! Thanks👍
Great story thanks.
enjoying this page very much !
Well done and many thanks.
Scary stuff. Escaping from the Indians, and being tracked by them. What a nightmare.
Another great series! Thanks for the hard work.

What Whites endured as slaves of the Ottomans makes "Roots" look like summer camp.

An incredible period of American history, wild, dangerous but wonderful
It’s very interesting to me.. at the time that this all took place , my ggg grandparents and family lived just west of where this happened in Berea. I wonder how safe they were where they lived.
I can't believe all she had to go through. She had 5 children and her 15 year old brother that got killed right in front of her. But when she got back from her journey, she had 5 more 😭😄
I’m waiting on An old book with a print date of 1813. It’s about the Indian wars in New England. I should have it tomorrow.
Great history so interesting
Great Series !

Wow, you come from a strong family line. You should be very proud.
This horrible. What a horrific story

No, to my recollection it never mentioned the Cherokee chief's name.
From the book by William Elsey Connoly I read his name was "Beige".
The Shawnee referred to Tias Harmon as the Little Devil with the Big Nose.
Sounds like Divine intervention.
Dreams and visions are the God spirit primary language
Yes! 💯🎯
Yes!

Are there stories about Natives being captured, and escaping? Or were they only murdered?
I keep getting unsubscribed and when I resubscribe it still has that I should get all of the uploads
Why did you name your channel UNWORTHY History?
He explains that at the beginning of video.
Oh he changed it?
Skip to the end of any recent video to hear about that. It's also bc my last name is Worthy

Forget that psychology junk, I believe it was God.
Why did she leave her poor dog behind?! I don't even really like dogs, as I'm a cat person. But still... that just seems really wrong.
From courageous, intelligent, and resilient women to women who listen to this account and and wonder why she left her dog !!! Smh. Wow
Because her dog was likely to give her away, of course.
Think real hard and maybe you can come up with the answer 🙄
Your question is a very good one. The dog she left likely led the Indians straight TO her. Would it not have been better to take him?

Lol, right.
He is reading a book, calm down; no need to bring racism into it. It’s history.
We get it, you're a liberal. Now settle down Karen.
