Every map I can find online, such as this one http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/histus.html or this one http://www.native-languages.org/kentucky.htm show the area that is now Henderson, Kentucky was part of Shawnee land, not Cherokee. Where is the citation to show that the native people did call the area "Red Banks" and that those people were Cherokee? Perhaps they were, instead, Shawnee - and therefore speaking one of the Algonquian languages? What was the word they supposedly used?
Also, there were people in this area before those of European descent. Angel Mounds is North of Henderson, across the Ohio River, less than 10 miles away as the crow flies. Angel Mounds was the site of a town constructed and occupied from 1100 CE to 1450 CE as one of the farthest northeastern expressions of the Mississippian culture. The Mississippian people abandoned the site long before European contact. The Wikipedia page for Evansville, Indiana, which is immediately across the river from Henderson, says there was a continuous human presence in the area that became Evansville from at least 8,000 BC by Paleo-Indians - but no citation for this info is given. The page also says that, following the abandonment of Angel Mounds between the years 1400 and 1450, tribes of Miami, Shawnee, Piankeshaw, Wyandot, Delaware and other Native American peoples were known to be in the area - but, again, no citation is given.

Someone deleted it with no information, and I can't figure out how to undo his edit. There is a significant lack of information about the Civil War and slavery in Henderson. I added information about slavery in Henderson, citing three different sources, with no explanation. I want to add it back. Here it is:
The 1800 county population was 1,468, according to the Second Census of Kentucky: 1,076 whites, 390 slaves, and 2 "free coloreds." In 1830 there was at least one slave owner in Henderson County, Liverpool Pointer. [1] By 1860, the population was 8,495, according to the U.S. Federal Census, and excluding the slaves. In 1860 in Henderson, there were 993 slave owners, 5,046 people categorized as "black slaves", 726 classified as Mulatto slaves, 38 free black Americans, many with the last names Painter and Fisher, and 37 free people identified as Mulattoes, many with the last names Painter, Fisher, and Piner. [2]. The narrative of Adah I. Suggs, a former enslaved person on the plantation of Colonel Jackson McClain and Louisa, his wife, tells the story of her escape with her mother, Harriet, into Evansville, Indiana in the 1860s:
A custom prevailed throughout the southern states that the first born of each slave maiden should be the son or daughter of her master and the girls were forced into maternity at puberty. The mothers naturally resisted this terrible practice and Harriott was determined to prevent her child being victimized... Under cover of night the two fugitives traveled the three miles to Henderson, there they secreted themselves under the house of Mrs. Margaret Bentley until darkness fell over the world to cover their retreat. Imagine the frightened negroes stealthily creeping through the woods in constant fear of being recaptured. Federal soldiers put them across the river at Henderson and from that point they cautiously advanced toward Evansville. The husband of Harriott, Milton McClain and her son Jerome were volunteers in a negro regiment. The operation of the Federal Statute providing for the enlistment of slaves made enlisted negroes free as well as their wives and children... When the refugees arrived in Evansville they were befriended by free negroes of the area. Harriott obtained a position as maid with the Parvine family. [3]

There's no information from the book The Annals and Scandals of Henderson County, Kentucky, 1775-1975 here. Henderson was notorious in the 1930s in particular regarding gambling, liquor running and organized crime. Highway 41 runs through the town, and it was a regular stop for people on their way from Chicago to Miami and back.
