Rolley Holey AKA Indian Marbles is played in Monroe County Kentucky (Tompkinsville) and Clay County Tennessee (Celina). It involves 2 2-man teams playing with marbles, though billiard balls are now used. Though this game uses just 3 holes, it is very similar to Cherokee marbles, possibly the only other place it’s played. Balls have been found in Mississippian mounds in Kentucky and Tennessee, so this is likely an ancient tradition. I have family from both counties and the Cherokees, so this intrigues me.
