The Coe Plantation was likely formed about 1820 along the Cumberland River at Turkeyneck Bend, Cumberland County, Kentucky. A Yuchi village stood at the site, and the plantation house was possibly built on the village because they didn’t have to clear the land—slaves may have used the Yuchi houses. An anthropologist interviewed some elderly people, but no one could even recall the village name. The Yuchi retreated into nearby Pea Ridge and Coe Ridge, marrying whites, some becoming my ancestors.
