GUEST,e75briscoe Req: Appalachian song sung before the 1940's (2) Tune Req: Appalachian song sung before the 1940's 21 Aug 23

I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with.   My preacher wrote a book and mentions a song his mother sang in the 1940's in the Appalachian mountains. He's not sure how old the song is.

It's about pioneers, a cabin in the woods, and an attack by Indians.   The cabin was burned and everyone who lived there was killed.

He said is a sad and mournful song but no idea what it was.   Do you happen to know?
