Origin of the name Keowee[edit]

The name may very well be of Muskogean origin--many towns of the Cherokee had such names (Chatuga, Conasauga, Chickamauga, etc.), but the town during the time period discussed in the article was undoubtedly Cherokee. "Tallamuchasee" did not even provide a source for his/her supposition other than hearsay. Chuck Hamilton (talk) 08:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unbalanced - delete John Norton portion[edit]

While John Norton's life and that of his father were fascinating, including it here makes the article about Keowee unbalanced. Since his unnamed father left Keowee as a child, and no one occupied the town after the Revolutionary War, John Norton's connection to it is tenuous. His life and travels in Cherokee country in 1809-1810 are discussed in the article about him, which is appropriate. But neither he nor his father contributed to Keowee Town. I am deleting the section on him for that reason - it is a curiosity. Keowee is referred to in his article, for people who want to trace it.Parkwells (talk) 21:28, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
