  NOTES FROM STEPHEN GREGORY "STEVE" LUKE (1947-2002): During the war of independence 1775- 1783 Niniang & his brother Johnathan served in Russell's Virgina regiment, a patriot unit, raised in Kentucky. During this war they spent almost the whole time fighting Shawnee, Cherokee,Chickasaw,Eel, Piankashaw, Ojibwa, Ottwa, Pottawotamie, Wyandotte and several Delaware tribes in Kentucky and Virgina, and they also fought Americans who were loyal to the king. After the war as civilians in Kentucky they were in constant danger of raids by these indians untill 1794.
