This Blog will explore the relationships between them. Please note that the blog serves as a collection of all Goins/Going/Gowen early records and that there is no intention to suggest that all Goins are Lumbee related. Only by listing them all, tracking their migration routes and taking your comments on the families into consideration, can we study and determine what lines are related to others.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The information regarding Thomas’ grave was told to me by Roger
Edmondson, a cousin who lives in Tazewell, TN. Several years ago, he took
me to the gravesite and told me the story that had been handed down to him by
his father and grandfather. Everything that I had previously read had
indicated that Thomas’ grave is at the bottom of Norris Lake. As Roger
relates, even when the lake is at full pool, at least half of the cemetery is
out of the water. I suggested that Roger write the information down so it
can be passed on to all who are interested. He summarized it in an
article entitled “Big Barren Primitive Baptist Church & Cemetery”.
Roger also gave me a map that he had drawn that shows the location of the
church and cemetery.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">My great grandmother was Catherine Goin Edmondson, wife of
William Lane Edmondson, daughter of Sterling Goin, granddaughter of Old Levi
Goin, and great granddaughter of Thomas Goin. One of her sons, Robert Dewey
Edmondson, was my grandfather and lived next door to her and her husband. She
was one of three Goin sisters that married three Edmondson brothers. Catherine
and her sister, Mary, are buried at Cox Cemetery, Claiborne County, Tennessee. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Therefore my line of Edmondsons are very familiar with the Goin
legacy, in Claiborne County, and the confusion over the location of the old
church and cemetery and especially Thomas and Levi’s, and their wives, graves.
The church and cemetery was located less than one third of a mile from the farm
that Catherine and William owned at the time of the T.V.A. grave removal. My
brother and I own the farm now.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
The old log and plank church stood overlooking Big Barren Creek in Claiborne
County, Tennessee. It was located on the right side of the old Knoxville
highway (33) heading south toward Knoxville. There was a short dirt drive going
up hill from the right side of the highway. The drive curved to the right
before turning into the church. Located to the left of the bend was the
cemetery. An old house foundation sits about 150’ below the church and is under
water when the lake is at full pool, but the church site is not. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
The cemetery extended from near the top of the first hill, over to the drive,
and then down the south side of the drive almost to the old highway. At full
pool at least half of the cemetery is out of the water.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The entire site is located just south of the current Knoxville
Highway and across the road from Windy’s Lakeside Market. It lies about three
miles north of the Union/Claiborne County line and about nine miles south of
New Tazewell, Tennessee. Cedar Grove Marina is located about one third mile
downstream from the church site. The church that was located very near to the
marina was Cedar Grove Methodists Church; there was also Mr. Western’s store
and Cedar Grove Grade School. My father and grandfather both attended the grade
school. </span></div>

Their graves, as were many graves of that time, were only marked with slabs<b> </b>of
limestone ledge material. Most of the stones were unmarked and regular
gravestones were rare. The graves were in the uppermost section of the cemetery
and were not removed during the T.V.A. Grave Relocation Project. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
My grandfather and his extended family used to camp on the old church site. I
camped with them during the 50’s and 60’s. We used some of the old church
foundation rock as a hearth for cooking and just sitting around at night. In
the overgrown cemetery shallow, mostly filled in rectangular pits were plainly
visible, the number being around a dozen. My grandfather and his brothers used
to tell us children ghost stories about the cemetery and we stayed scared to
death for most of the nights that we camped. Note: Some of the bodies were
relocated to Cox cemetery in Claiborne County and to Big Barren Memorial
Cemetery on Little Valley Road in Union County, Tennessee. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
Many times my grandfather and father told me about their small part in the
T.V.A. Grave Removal Project. They told me that the T.V.A. notified the people
of the area, I suppose by posted bills and the newspaper, of the date and time
they would be working in a particular cemetery. In 1934 or 1935 my great
grandmother, Catherine Goin Edmondson (age about 68), my grandfather, Robert
Dewey Edmondson (age about 35), and my father, Earnest Edmondson (age about 13)
walked the short distance from the back of the farm down to the cemetery. There
they met with a T.V.A. official. They told them that they did not want the
graves of Thomas, his wife, Levi and his wife removed. As they were the only
people there to speak for the Goin family their wish was granted and the graves
WERE NOT REMOVED! The T.V.A. even offered to put up new stones for them in
another cemetery, but they refused the offer. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
Many Goin researchers have their own ideas about the church, the cemetery, and
the graves, one man even calling my ancestors liars, however my family was
there and took part in the decision making. My great grandfather even attended
the church a couple of times. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
The cemetery and church site are now seriously overgrown to the point of being
impassible. If I could gain access to the cemetery through the thick underbrush
I’m sure I could stand within a fifty-foot radius of where the graves are
located. If anyone goes to the site do not expect to see any left over
gravestones, as I remember none being left behind when I used to camp
there. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
Even though this is an oral history of the church and cemetery my ancestors had
no reason to speak anything but the truth and the empty graves speak for
themselves. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Eddie Goins, a well-recognized Goin researcher, suggested that I
write this down before the information is lost forever. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">On October 10, 2009 there was a ceremony at Pleasant Point
Cemetery, in Claiborne County, TN, to recognize Thomas and two other
Revolutionary War soldiers, Harmon Hopper and John Owsley. Three stones
were placed in the cemetery to honor these three men. The men are not
buried under these stones, but memorialized there. However, I have seen
Thomas listed on Find A Grave as being buried in Pleasant Point Cemetery. My
cousin, Troy, and I attended that ceremony to see if we might gain some
information about Thomas. At that time we suspected this Thomas was
related to our Thomas Goin(g) of Randolph County, NC, ca. 1729-1797, but we
were not sure. On that day we had hoped to gain some insight into his
connection with our ancestors. We visited with one of his descendants who
was there, but she wasn’t sure if there was a connection. Since then, my
Y-DNA and other documents have proven that he was the son of our Thomas
Goin(g). Roger had been somewhat involved in planning Thomas’ memorial
ceremony. I recently asked him to explain the placement of his memorial
stone in Pleasant Point Cemetery. He summarized it an article entitled
“Thomas Goin Burial”.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

gravestone for Thomas Goin at Pleasant Point Cemetery, Claiborne County,
Tennessee. However, a local DAR chapter without mentioning that it was only a
memorial stone erected this stone. Although several Goin folks are buried there
Thomas is not one of them.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

Thomas was one of the founding members of Big Barren Primitive Baptist Church.
This church was located between the Old Knoxville Road and Big Barren Creek. It
was a log and plank structure. The church building became untenable for church
services and was later used as a barn by John Keck who lived nearby. The church
records indicate that Thomas, his son Levi and Levi’s wife were buried in that
cemetery. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">In 1935 during the clearing for Norris Lake the Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA) posted a notice in the Claiborne Progress for interested
parties to meet at the cemetery at a certain date and time. Catherine Goin
Edmondson (Thomas 1, Levi 2, Sterling 3, Catherine 4) her son Dewey and grandson
Ernest met with the “TVA MAN” at the appointed date and time. There were no
stones marking the graves only slight depressions remained to indicate that the
ground had ever been disturbed. The TVA crews had already relocated many of the
marked graves from the newer part of the cemetery located down on the creek
bottom. When informed that little could be recovered from the older graves my
great grandmother (Catherine) told the TVA MAN to just “leave ‘em be”! </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The TVA listing for the removals from that cemetery do not list
Thomas, Levi or his wife as being removed and reburied. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">This story was passed down to me by my grandfather, Dewey, and
my father, Ernest who stood with Catherine by their ancestors graves on that
day in 1935. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "&quot" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Thomas’s new stone was placed in an open area of the cemetery
over some older unmarked graves. If anyone had the remains exhumed for any
reason (DNA, etc.) it would not be his remains under the marker. I requested
through my SAR chapter president, but to no avail, that a note be added to the
back of the stone that it was a memorial stone only and that he was not buried
at that location. I dropped out of SAR, who worked closely with DAR on this
project, over the lack of frankness about the stone. I wish them the best of
luck in future endeavors, however I hope that they are more informative on
future memorial gravestones. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"></span></div>

“Colored !! Did he enlist?!!!” The pension was approved (“4<sup>th</sup>

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;">Another
Confederate veteran, Thomas R Goin, who died 12 Oct 1862, is commemorated in
the Weldon Confederate Cemetery on a marker for those who died at the Wayside
Hospital there. His compiled service record indicates he was in Company I of
Holcombe's Legion, raised in Spartanburg, NC, where his widow Mary Ann Goin
received her widow's benefits; a letter from the Quarter Master's clerk
indicates that he was found laying outside one morning, having apparently been
too ill to reach the hospital from the train (<a href="https://www.fold3.com/image/271/85406866" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; margin: 0px;">https://www.fold3.com/image/271/85406866</span></a>).</span></div>

Goins-Walden Cemetery at Fort Bragg
<br />
<br />
This Indian cemetery is located on the reservation and are the ancestors of the Goins and Waldens living in the Moore County and surrounding areas today. It is noted by the Fort Bragg Cultural Resources Department as being an Indian graveyard, on what was once Edmund Goins property near the Silver Run Creek.<br />
<br />
L. H. Goins (1849-1921)
<br />
D. H. Goins (1829-1899)
<br />
P. A. Goins (1807-1898)
<br />
Rovenia Goins (1881-1904)<br />
Sarah M. Goins (1842-1905)
<br />
Lucy Goins (1820-1902)
<br />
Martha A. Walden (1885-1921) wife of E. L. Walden
<br />
<br />
There are tombrocks with Indian markings and a number of marked graves without inscriptions. The size of the burying ground is approximately one acre and contains nearly fifty graves.

Linda:
Thank you so much for your kind assistance in allowing us access to our family graveyard on Ft Bragg (Goins Cemetery). My wife JoAnne and I enjoyed meeting you and we are greatful that you would take the time to accomodate us and allowing us to visit the cemetery. You really went over and above what is normal.
<br />
<br />
We received the two papers you sent and we are all of us going through them searching for clues. My cousin, Tracy Hutchison has a website where she has put pictures of the cemetery and it also contains all the Goins information we have for our branches of the Goins Family. <br />
<br />
Having been in the military myself, I hope that you will share this e-mail with your immediate superior so he/she will realize what a fine job you are doing and how well you represent the US Army and Ft Bragg. I was so pleased to see the care that the cemetery received and how nicely it is maintained. <br />
<br />
An old Marine is greatful to his Nation.

have confirmed she was Ada Cornelia Goins, and I know her parents and her
husband, and she is a totally separate lady.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ada Lily Goins appeared to be WHITE, but she told her granddaughter
that she had INDIAN ancestry.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I checked the census period of 1880 to 1920 specific to
Cabarrus Co NC and found only the family of Daniel Goins and Melissa in
1910.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">No one named Goins was earlier
there.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">At the end of this report is the
census page of Daniel and Melissa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">1910 census: Concord, Cabarrus, NC:</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ada GAINS is listed as a live in servant for a lady named:
Isabellw Elkins b. 1867 NC, married to Martin Monroe Misenheimer b. 1849
NC.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">They married 9-9- 1899 Cabarrus,
NC.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Isabelle (Belle) was the daughter of
Willis Elkins and Matt.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In the 1870</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">census Willis Elkins is in Cabarrus NC.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ada Goins told her grand daughter about this Mrs. Belle
Misenheimer, and how she worked in the house for her, because Ada’s parents had
died, and she and her brother Lloyd Goins had been farmed out as servants, but
Lloyd had run off and was never seen again.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ada grew up and found a job in a textile mill and roomed
with another girl, then met and married her husband William Bunyon
Simpson.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">They married, and lived, and
died in Union, Monroe Co NC.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I would ‘think’ that Ada must have been a local Cabarrus
orphan, and this is how Belle found her and took her as a servant.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">However, it is possible that Ada was from a
different area, and perhaps somehow Belle was told about the girl, etc.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">But, I would agree with you, the best place to start is
LOCAL.</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I believe in today’s day and age it is not only disturbing but shocking that the paper genocide of the Virginia Indians which began with Walter Ashby Plecker is being resurrected via the internet. Plecker who was head of the Virginia Registrar’s Offiice for thirty four years believed there were no true Indians left as they all had been ’tainted’ by the African blood. There are some who apparently believe that Walter Plecker was appointed by the Governor of Virginia and therefore simply doing his job but this is ridiculous when one reads the many letters he wrote, the many threats of imprisonment to doctors, nurses, midwifes and clergy and his many speeches. In 2004 <strong>STYLE WEEKLY</strong> published an article; <strong>The Black & White World of Walter Plecker</strong> (1)<strong> </strong>and wrote;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“In 1932, Plecker gave a keynote speech at the Third International Conference on Eugenics in New York. Among those in attendance was Ernst Rudin of Germany who, 11 months later, would help write Hitler's eugenics law.<br /><br />In 1935, Plecker wrote to Walter Gross, the director of Germany's Bureau of Human Betterment and Eugenics. He outlined Virginia's racial purity laws and asked to be put on a mailing list for bulletins from Gross' department. Plecker complimented the Third Reich for sterilizing 600 children in Algeria who were born to German women and black men. "I hope this work is complete and not one has been missed," he wrote. "I sometimes regret that we have not the authority to put some measures in practice in Virginia."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Plecker’s work appears to be gaining strength by adopting the idea that the ‘one drop’ of African blood invalidates any claim to Native American ancestry. In other words if there is any trace of African ancestry they are no longer “Indians” but become Free African Americans. When the Native tribes mixed with the English they certainly did not become English and no one called them whites nor when they mixed with the French, Germans, etc. They were still ‘called’ Indians.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are many Cherokee living on Cherokee lands in Oklahoma that probably have more ‘white’ blood than these so called ‘Free African Americans’ yet they are, and always have been, called Native American Indians. Not so with the Virginia and Carolina Indians, even the remote possibility of ‘one drop’ and they are stripped of their heritage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Although these online records contain numerous qualifiers (2) there is no doubt the ‘African American’ ancestry will be passed down for many generations and the Native American ancestry will be written out of their history.</span><br />

Adcock<br />Amherst Virginia.<br />Dear William: I received your letter of October 30th 1929 in which you say that "We have decided to lose the last drop of blood we have in us before we will be classed as colored".In order to know upon what grounds you considered yourself white, I wrote to you twice asking you to tell us who was your mother and who was her mother. You did not reply to either letter as we certainly expected you to do if you are attempting to maintain that they are white. I did not however ask you that because we did not know but simply to see what you would say.The old birth records which we have, made by the Commissioners of the Revenue as they visited the homes of the people to assess them for taxes gives your family history clearly. The Commissioners of the Revenue knew every family perfectly well, just what they were, and where they came from.These records show that your father Elisha Willis was a colored man. The old tax records also gave him as colored. Your mother Margaret Adcock was the daughter of Belinda (sometlmes called Malinda) Branham, recorded as a mulatto, and Wiliam Adcock. Belinda your mother was a daughter of Creasy Branham.We have in our office a copy of Woodson's list of "free negroes" of the 1830 U. S. Census which gives Creasy Branham of Amherst County as a free negro.Responsible people of Amherst County, now living, make the same statement. She was generally known as "a little brown skinned negro who lived to be nearly one hundred years old".In 1899 you took out a license to marry Mary (or Polly) Branham. This license gives both of you as colored. The record of the birth of your wife Polly Branham December 25, 1875 gives her as colored and the daughter of Marshall and Arnetta Branham.With the evidence as given above I am compelled under the 1924 Act to list you and your children and all other descendants of Creasy Branham or Elisha Willis or their blood relatives as colored.I want to warn you that the Racial Integrity Law of 1924 makes it a penitentiary offense for anyone with a trace of negro to marry a white person or to register in the Bureau of Vital Statistics as white. All midwives or heads of families who attempt to register "free issues" or colored births or deaths as white, are liable to be indicted on a felony charge.<br />Yours very truly,<br />W.A. Plecker<br />State Registrar<br /><br />WAP</span></center><center><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><hr style="height: 2px; width: 1247px;" />

Kelly<br />Trustee of Schools<br />Pennington Gap<br />Lee County, Virginia<br />------------------<br />Dear Sir: Our office has had a great deal of trouble in reference to the persistence of a group of people living in that region known as "Melungeons", whose families came from Newman's Ridge, Tennessee. They are evidently of negro origin and are so recognized in Tennessee but when they have come over into Virginia they have been trying to pass as white. In a few instances we learn that they have married a low type of white people which increases the problem.We understand that some of these negroes attempted to send their children to the Pennington Gap white school and that they were turned out by the School Board. Will you please give us a statement as to the names of the children that were thus refused admittance into the white schools and the names and addresses of their parents. If possible, we desire the full name of the father and the maiden name of the mother.As these families originated out of Virginia, our old birth, death, and marraige records covering the period, 1853 through 1896, do not have them listed by color as are those whose families have lived in Virginia for a number of generations. They are demanding of us that we register them as white, which we persistently refuse to do. If we can get a statement that the School Board has refused them admittance into the white schools, we can use that as one of the grounds upon which we would refuse to classify them as white. That, of course, is a matter of history and does not involve any individual but the whole School Board, the responsibility thus being divided up while few individuals who write to us as to their negro characteristics are willing to have their names used or to appear in court should it become necessary. This makes it very difficult for us to secure necessary information to properly classify them in our office. If the School trustees will co-operate with our office and will refuse them admittance into the white schools and give us information when such refusals are made, we can withough great difficulty hold them in their place, but this co-operation is very essential.I do not know who is the Clerk of the School Board or who would be the proper one to apply to but your name has been given to me.<br />Yours very truly,<br />(signature)<br />W.A. Plecker<br />State Registrar<br />WAP:W </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Secretary of State,<br />Nashville, Tennessee.<br /><br />Dear Sir:<br /><br />Our bureau is the only one in any State making an intensive study of the population of its citizens by race.<br /><br />We have in some of the counties of southwestern Virginia a number of so-called Melungeons who came into that section from Newmans Ridge, Hancock County, Tennessee, and who are classified by us as of negro origin though they make various claims, such as Portugese, Indians, etc.<br /><br />The law of Virginia says that any one with any ascertainable degree of negro is to be classified as colored and we are endeavoring to so classify those who apply for birth, death and marriage registrations.<br /><br />We have a list of the free negroes, by counties, of the 1830 U. S. Census in which we find the racial origin of most of these Melungeons classified as mulattoes. In that period, 1830, we do not find the name of Hancock County, but presume that it was made up from portions of other counties, possible Grainger and Hawkins, where we find considerable numbers of these Melungeon families listed.<br /><br />Will you please advise as to that point and particularly which of these original counties Newmans Ridge was in.<br /><br />Thanking you in advance and with kindest regards, I am<br /><br />Very truly yours,<br /><br />W.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />August 12, 1942<br /><br />Mr. W. A. Plecker,<br />State Registrar<br />Bureau of Vital Statistics<br />Richmond, Virginia<br /><br />My dear Sir:<br /><br />The Secretary of State has sent your letter to my desk for reply.<br /><br />You have asked us a hard question.<br /><br />The origin of the Melungeons has been a disputed question in Tennessee ever since we can remember.<br />Hancock County was established by an Act of the General Assembly passed January 7th, 1844 and was formed from parts of Claiborne and Hawkins counties.<br /><br />Newman's Ridge, which runs through Hancock county north of Sneedville, is parallel with Clinch River and just south of Powell Mountain. The only map on which we find it located is edited by H. C. Amick and S. J. Folmsbee of the University of Tennessee in 1941 published by Denoyer-Geppert Co., 5235 Ravenswood Ave., Chicago, listed as [TN 7S]* TENNESSEE. On this map is shown Newman's Ridge as I have sketched it on this little scrap of paper, inclosed. But we do not have the early surveys showing which county it as originally in. It appears that it may have been in Claiborne according to the Morris Gazetteer of Tennessee 1834 which includes this statement: "Newman's Ridge, one of the spurs of Cumberland Mountain, in East Tennessee, lying in the north east angle of Claiborne County, west of Clinch River, and east of Powell's Mountain. It took its name from a Mr. Newman who discovered it in 1761."<br /><br />Early historians of East Tennessee who lived in that section and knew the older members of this race refer to Newman's Ridge as "quite a high mountain, extending through the entire length of Hancock County, and into Claiborne County on the west. It is between Powell Mountain on the north and Clinch River on the south." Capt. L. M. Jarvis, an old citizen of Sneedville wrote in his 82nd year:<br />"I have lived here at the base of Newman's Ridge, Blackwater, being on the opposite side, for the last 71 years and well know the history of these people on Newman's Ridge and Blackwater enquired about as Melungeons. These people were friendly to the Cherokees who came west with the white imigration from New River and Cumberland, Virginia, about the year 1790...The name Melungeon was given them on account of their color. I have seen the oldest and first settlers of this tribe who first occupied Newman's Ridge and Blackwater and I have owned much of the lands on which they settled.. They obtained their land grants from North Carolina. I personally knew Vardy Collins, Solomon D. Collins, Shepard Gibson, Paul Bunch and Benjamin Bunch and many of the Goodmans, Moores, Williams and Sullivans, all of the very first settlers and noted men of these friendly Indians. They took their names from white people of that name with whom they came here. They were reliable, truthful and faithful to anything they promised. In the Civil War most of the Melungeons went into the Union army and made good soldiers. Their Indian blood has about run out. They are growing white... They have been misrepresented by many writers. In former writings I have given their stations and stops on their way as they emigrated to this country with white people, one of which places was at the mouth of Stony Creek on Clinch river in Scott County, Virginia, where they built fort and called it Ft. Blackamore after Col. Blackamore who was with them... When Daniel Boone was here hunting 1763-1767, these Melungeons were not here."<br /><br />The late Judge Lewis Shepherd, prominent jurist of Chattanooga, went further in his statements in his "Personal Memoirs", and contended that this mysterious racial group descended from the Phoenicians of Ancient Carthage. This was his judgment after investigations he made in trying a case featuring the complaint that they were of mixed negro blood, which attempt failed, and which brought out the facts that many of their ancestors had settled early in South Carolina when they migrated from Portugal to America about the time of the Revolutionary war, and later moved into Tennessee. At the time of this trial covered by Judge Shepherd "charges that Negro blood contaminated the Melungeons and barred their intermarriage with Caucasians created much indignation among families of Phoenician descent in this section."<br /><br />But I imagine if the United States Census listed them as mulattoes their listing will remain. But it is a terrible claim to place on people if they do not have negro blood. I often have wondered just how deeply the census takers went into an intelligent study of it at that early period.<br /><br />I have gone into some detail in this reply to explain the mooted question and why it is not possible for me to give you a definite answer. I hope this may assist you to some extent.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br /><br />Mrs. John Trotwood Moore<br />State Librarian and Archivist</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">August 20, 1942<br /><br />Mrs. John Trotwood Moore<br />State Librarian and Archivist<br />State Department of Education<br />Nashville, Tennessee<br /><br />Dear Mrs. Moore:<br /><br />We thank you very much for your informative letter of August 12 in reply to our inquiry, addressed to the Secretary of State, as to the original counties from which Hancock County, Tennessee, was formed. We are particularly interested in tracing back, as far as possible, to their ultimate origin the melungeons of the Newmans Ridge section, especially as enumerated in the free negro list by counties of the states in the U. S. 1830 census. This group appears to be in many respects of the same type as a number of groups in Virginia, some of which are known as "free issues," or descendants of slaves freed by their masters before the War Between the States. In one case in particular which we have traced back to its origin, and which we believe to be typical of the others, a slave woman was freed with her two mulatto sons and colonized in Amherst County in connection with a group of similar freed negroes. These sons were presumably the children of the woman's owner, and this seemed to be the most satisfactory way of disposing of them. One of those sons became the head of one of the larger families of that group. All of these groups have the same desire, which Captain L. M. Jarvis says the melungeons have, to become friends of Indians and to be classed as Indians. He referred to the effort which the melungeon group made to be accepted by the Cherokees, apparently without great success. It is interesting also to know the opinion expressed by Captain Jarvis that these freed negroes migrated into that section with the white people. That is perfectly natural as they have always endeavored to tie themselves up as closely as possible either with the whites or Indians and are striving to break away from the true negro type.<br /><br />We have a book, compiled by Carter G. Woodson, a negro, entitled "Free Negro Heads of Families in the United States in 1830," listing all of the free negroes of the 1830 census by counties. Of the names that Captain Jarvis gave, we find included in that list in Hawkins County, Solomon Collins, Vardy Collins, and Sherod (probably Shepard) Gibson. We find also Zachariah Minor, probably the head of the family in which we are especially interested at this time. We find also the names of James Moore (two families by this name) and Jordan and Edmund Goodman. In the list for Grainger County we find at least twelve Collins and Collens heads of families. This shows that they were evidently considered locally as free negroes by the enumerators of the 1830 census.<br /><br />One of the most interesting parts of your letter is that relating to the opinion of the Judge mentioned, in his "Personal Memoirs," who<br /><br /><br />Page 2<br /><br /><br />Mrs. John Trotwood Moore, con't<br />August 20, 1942<br /><br />seemed to have accepted as satisfactory certain evidence which was presented to him that these people are of Phoenician descent from ancient Carthage, which was totally destroyed by Rome. We have in Virginia white people, descendants of Pocahontas, who married John Rolfe about 1616. About twelve generations have passed since then, and we figured out that there was about 1/4000th of 1% of Pocahontas blood now in their veins, though they seem to be quite proud of that. If you go back to the destruction of Carthage in 146 B. C., or to the destruction of Tyre by Pompey in 64 B. C., when all characteristic features of national life became extinct and with it racial identity, you will see that the fraction of 1% of Phoenician blood would reach astronomical proportions and be totally lost in the various mixtures of North Africans, with which the Carthaginians afterwards mixed. The Judge also speaks of the inclusion of Portuguese blood with this imaginary Phoenician blood. It is a historical fact, well known to those who have investigated, that at one time there were many African slaves in Portugal. Today there are no true negroes there but their blood shows in the color and racial characteristics of a large part of the Portuguese population of the present day. That mixture, even if it could be shown, would be far from constituting these people white. We are very much afraid that the Judge followed the same course pursued by one of our Virginia judges in hearing a similar case, when he accepted the hearsay evidence of people who testified that they had always understood that the claimants were of Indian origin, regardless of the documentary evidence reaching back in some cases to or near to the Revolutionary War, showing them to be descendants of freed negroes.<br /><br />We will require other evidence than that of Captain Jarvis and His Honor before classifying members of the group who are now causing trouble in Virginia by their claims of Indian descent, with the privilege of inter-marrying into the white race, permissible when a person can show his racial composition to be one-sixteenth or less Indian, the remainder white with no negro intermixture. We have found after very laborious and painstaking study of records of various sorts that none of our Virginia people now claiming to be Indian are free from negro admixture, and they are, therefore, according to our law classified as colored. In that class we include the melungeons of Tennessee.<br /><br />We again thank you for your care in passing on this information and would be delighted if you ever visit in Virginia and in Richmond if you will come into our office. Miss Kelley and I would be greatly pleased to talk with you on this and kindred subjects and to show you the work which Miss Kelley is doing in properly classifying the population of Virginia by racial origin. She is doing work which, so far as I know, has never before been attempted.<br /><br />Very sincerely yours,<br /><br /><br />W. A. Plecker, M.

I recall that he was interested in an article on the Melungeons that appeared perhaps two years before his death (May 10, 1929) in the Dearborn Independent. I do not have the article but I think it was written by a North Carolina writer. I am sorry I cant be more definite but if there is a file in the State or Public Library it might interest you.<br /><br />We have Carter G. Woodson's "Free Negro Heads of Families in the United States in 1830", but I have never made a study of it.<br /><br />Virginia is fortunate to have you and Miss Kelly doing such an important piece of research. I wish Tennessee could borrow you. Anyhow, what you are doing will be, in effect, for all the Southern States and there was never a time when it was more needed.<br /><br />If I am in Richmond at any time I shall certainly be pleased to stop by your office and talk with you and Miss Kelley.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Local Registrars, Physicians, Health<br />Offices, Nurses, School Superintendents,<br />and Clerks of the Courts<br /><br />Dear Co-workers:<br /><br />Our December 1942 letter to local registrars, also mailed to the clerks, set forth the determined effort to escape from the negro race of groups of "free issues," or descendents of the "free mulattoes" of early days, so listed prior to 1865 in the United States census and various types of State records, as distinguished from slave negroes.<br /><br />Now that these people are playing up the advantages gained by being permitted to give "Indian" as the race of the child's parents on birth certificates, so we see the great mistake made in not stopping earlier the organized propagation of this racial falsehood. They have been using the advantage thus gained as an aid to intermarriage into the white race and to attend white schools, and now for some time they have been refusing to register with war draft boards as negroes, as required by the boards which are faithfully performing their duties. Three fo these negroes from Caroline County were sentenced to prison on January 12 in the United States Court at Richmond for refusing to obey the draft law unless permitted to classify themselves as "Indians."<br /><br />Some of these mongrels, finding that they have been able to sneak in their birth certificates unchallenged as Indians are now making a rush to register as white. Upon investigation we find that a few local registars have been permitting such certificates to pass through their hands unquestioned and without warning our office of the fraud. Those attempting this fraud should be warned that they are liable to a penalty of one year in the penitentiary (Section 5099a of the Code). Several clerks have likewise been actually granting them licenses to marry whites, or at least to marry amongst themselves as Indian or white. The danger of this error always confronts the clerk who does not inquire carefully as to the residence of the woman when he does not have positive information. The law is explicit that the license be issued by the clerk of the county or city in which the woman resides.<br /><br />To aid all of you in determining just which are the mixed families, we have made a list of their surnames by counties and cities, as complete as possible at this time. This list should be preserved by all, even by those in counties and cities not included, as these people are moving around over the State and changing race at the new place. A family has just been investigated which was always recorded as negro around Glade Springs, Washington County, but which changed to white and married as such in Roanoke County. This is going on constantly and can be prevented only by care on the part of local registrars, clerks, doctors, health workers, and school authorities.<br /><br />Please report all known or suspicious cases to the Bureau of Vital Statistics, giving names, ages, parents, and as much other information as possible. All certificates of these people showing "Indian" or "white" are now being rejected and returned to the physician or midwife, but local registrars hereafter must not permit them to pass their hands uncorrected or unchallenged and without a note of warning to us. One hundred and fifty thousand other mulattoes in Virginia are watching eagerly the attempt of their pseudo-Indian brethren, ready to follow in a rush when the first have made a break in the dike.</span></div>

ABOUT THIS PROJECT<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #666666; line-height: 22px;">The Shawnee. The Quapaw. The Delaware. The Kickapoo. The Coushatta. The Cherokee and all allied tribes of Texas in 1821. Native Americans should be honored for their contributions in history. This project honors not one misrepresented Native American hero in history, but we follow in the footsteps of many brave Native Americans who helped make Texas what we are today. Without them, the geography of the United States might look quite different today.</span><br />

Bragg Military Base, North Carolina. Several headstones were engraved with ornate symbols. There is no doubt the language is Cherokee, but it is an old form of Cherokee that is not used anymore. The meanings of the Native American symbols are lost to us, but we believe the language is much older than the stones. This was the homeland of William Bill Goyens of Nacogdoches. We were on sacred ground. </span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Previous biographers of Goyens often posed the questions in their essays: "How did he know how to speak Cherokee?" "How could he be an Indian agent under Sam Houston? "When and how did he come to Texas." We have solved these mysteries and have the documents which explain an intriguing period of Native American history.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">My father and I set out to answer the questions many years ago. The winding journey encompassed 25 years.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">No one suspected that the stars aligned on a fateful day in Alabama, March 1814. Stars aligned for the State of Texas, as Goyens, Chief Bowles, the Old Settler families and Sam Houston would be instrumental in Texas' Battle for Independence.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">When the documents-- collected from over four states-- were presented once more in the oldest town in Texas, the scholars shook their heads in dismay and said. "How Unfortunate." Unfortunate??? There has been no effort to correct the misrepresentations on Bill Goyens or the portrait of Chief Bowles depicted in a statue in Nacogdoches as being lowly and stooped, lorded over by Houston and his treaty. No mention is made of the honor and loyalty of the Quapaw, the Kickapoo, the Delaware, the Coushatta and other Allied tribes and their role in Republic of Texas history. It is a travesty . . . .but it is not unfortunate, <i style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">yet</i>. It will be unfortunate if nothing is done. And that's where your support comes in. Our nation is much more diverse than the text books reveal. To expound on Native American contributions to our history is not unfortunate. To celebrate the First Nation's heroes is not unfortunate either. The Native American children and future generations should not be denied their role models and their heroes. </span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">This film is being made because it is the right thing to do. For the Cherokee peoples and their allied tribes: the Shawnee, the Kickapoo, the Quapaw, the Delaware, the Coushatta and for Native American tribes as a whole. Thanks to a discussion with a Sundance Film Festival director, we understand the budget requirements to produce a quality documentary and once we've reached this financial mark, we will initiate production under a professional director. We have a business plan. We have a budget which we hope this project will help in funding the production phase. We will launch our full-length, professionally directed documentary in the Indigenous People Films category at a future Sundance Festival which will be determined by the production process. We are experienced in accountability for funds since we've worked with grants and every penny of these funds will be used in the making of a quality documentary. </span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Thank you for supporting this film. </span></div></div><div class="NS-projects-faqs" id="project-faqs" style="border-bottom-width: 3px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div id="biography" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: right; color: #666666; float: right; font-size: 14px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><img alt="Cyndie.large" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/avatars/2334461/Cyndie.large.jpg?1332960841" /> </span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Cyndie Goins Hoelscher has spent the past 25 years researching the diverse community of Moore County, North Carolina and migrations to Texas.

<br />
From: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butts_County,_Georgia">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butts_County,_Georgia</a><br />
<br />
History<br />
<br />
Butts County was formed on December 24, 1825 as the sixty-fourth county in Georgia from portions of Henry County and Monroe County. It was named by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_General_Assembly">Georgia General Assembly</a> in honor of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Butts">Samuel Butts</a>, an officer who was killed in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creek_War">Creek War</a> in 1814.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butts_County,_Georgia#cite_note-3">[4]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butts_County,_Georgia#cite_note-NGEButtsCo-4">[5]</a> A year later, Jackson was created as the first city in the new county and became the county seat. Other towns followed, including Indian Springs (1837); Flovilla (1883); Jenkinsburg (1889); and Pepperton (1897). Indian Springs later became unincorporated and Pepperton was merged with Jackson in 1966, leaving 3 incorporated cities in Butts County. In recent years, Indian Springs has again become a tourist destination including many historic sites, shops, eating establishment and the famous Indian Springs Hotel as its centerpiece.<br />
<br />
Much of Butts County and its cities were destroyed by the army of General <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_T._Sherman">William T. Sherman</a> in its infamous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman%27s_March_to_the_Sea">March to the Sea</a>during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War">American Civil War</a>. Butts County struggled for decades afterwards to become economically stable again. The arrival of the first railroad train on May 5, 1882 started the resurgence and growth followed. In 1898, caught up in the post-reconstruction fervor that had infected most Georgia counties, Butts County erected a monumental courthouse as a sign of its new prosperity. This building is still in use as a courthouse to this day. The construction of the Lloyd Shoals dam in 1910 created Jackson Lake, a prime recreational lake located primarily in Butts County.<br />
<br />
Progress milestones in Butts County include the first telephones in 1884; first waterworks in 1905; electric lights on February 19, 1907; and traffic lights in 1926.<br />

The notes about visuals represent points in the presentation where books, articles, artworks, photographs, or parts of a videotape were shown to the audience. I have made a few minor updates to the text. Please note: This essay has received only minor updates since 2002.

<br />
The Lumbee Indians, with a 1990-census population of 40,500, are the ninth largest tribe in the United States--behind such tribes as the Cherokee (308,000), the Navajo (219,000), and the Chippewa and Sioux (103,000 each). They live primarily in Robeson County, in the southeastern part of North Carolina [Visual 1]. Over 90% of the Lumbee on the tribal roll live in eighteen communities in Robeson and adjoining counties [Visual 2]. The main Robeson County communties are Pembroke, Red Banks, Maxton, Moss Neck, Wakulla, and Rennert. Over the years, the Lumbee have migrated to other areas, primarily for employment. Thus there are sizeable settlements in Cumberland, Sampson, Hoke, Scotland, and Columbus Counties; in Greensboro, Charlotte, Detroit, Baltimore, Claxton, Georgia (between 1865 and the 1920's, to work turpentine and cotton), and a spurious group in Shasta County, north central California called the United Lumbee Nation which claims Lumbee origin. Robeson County is a triracial county. In 1900, Indians were 9.6% of the population. Lumbee people have tended to have large families; and in recent years, Lumbee people who migrated out for work have been returning home. Also, more Indians have been willing to identify as such on the federal census. As a result, in 1990 the county (which is the state's largest, with 949 square miles) was 38.5% Indian, 36.1% white, and 24.9% black. If current population trends continue, Indians will be 50% of the county's population by 2010.<br />

<br />
The Robeson County Archaeological Survey (1988) established that Indian people have lived in Robeson County for 14,000 years. The earliest written record (from the early 18th century) refers to the Cheraw tribe being along Drowning Creek (the upper Lumber, or Lumbee, River), so recent federal recognition bills have sought to rename the tribe "The Lumbee Tribe of Cheraw Indians" because of the belief that they developed from this Siouan tribe. Noted anthropologist John Reed Swanton, in a 1933 federal report, surmised their descent from the Cheraw, with contributions of blood from the Keyauwee, Eno, Shakori, Waccamaw, and Cape Fear Indians. The other widely known theory about Lumbee origins is that the Lumbee are descendants of Sir Walter Raleigh's 1587 Lost Colony at Roanoke Island, Virginia (now North Carolina) and their friendly Indian neighbors. According to Governor John White, Raleigh left the Colonists to return to England for supplies. When he got back, the Colonists had left; but carved on a tree was an inscription suggesting they had gone to Croatoan, an island belonging to the friendly Indian, Manteo's, people. John Lawson's history of North Carolina (1714) mentions his encounter with some Hatteras Indians on Roanoke Island who said their ancestors were White, could "talk in a book" (read), and often had grey eyes. From this, and from the facts that (1) 41 of 95 Lost Colonists' names appeared among the Lumbee and (2) they spoke Elizabethan dialect, state representative and local historian Hamilton McMillan wrote a pamphlet suggesting that these people, previously referred to as free persons of color, were Indian. In 1885, a state law was passed designating the tribe Croatan Indians and setting up separate schools for them. In 1887, another state law appropriated funds and land for a Croatan normal school (now University of North Carolina at Pembroke). The "Lost Colony Theory" of the tribe's origin was accorded further credence when, in 1891, Stephen B. Weeks published an article in Papers of the American Historical Association espousing and documenting the theory from maps and historical accounts.<br />

<br />
Thus Hamilton McMillan's 1885 law gave the Lumbee their first name--Croatan Indians. It also gave them state recognition. Unfortunately the name Croatan came to be used as a racial slur. In 1911, a state law changed the name to Indians of Robeson County. In 1913, another state law changed the name to Cherokee Indians of Robeson County, and in 1953, still another to Lumbee Indians. In 1933 and 1934, federal bills were introduced to name the tribe Cheraw Indians and Siouan Indians of the Lumber River--more about this later. The name Lumbee comes from the Lumber River which, tradition has it, the Indians called Lumbee. This tradition fits with other rivers in the region--the Wateree, Pedee, and Congaree, all Sioux names. In 1956, a federal act named the tribe "Lumbee Indians." Unfortunately, its termination-era language did not afford the tribe true federal recognition. One phrase it contained was, "Nothing in this Act shall make such Indians eligible for any services performed by the United States for Indians because of their status as Indians, and none of the statutes of the U.S. which affect Indians because of their status as Indians shall be applicable to the Lumbee Indians."<br />
<br />
Why the emphasis on a proper name? The Lumbee, since 1888, and still unsuccessfully, have sought true federal acknowledgment—more for the pride of Indian identity than for monetary benefits. Identity has been a dominant theme of Lumbee existence, as the remainder of this presentation will show. Adolph Dial and David Eliades, in their history of the Lumbee, The Only Land I Know, stated, "The central fact of Lumbee history is that the people are Indian in origin and social status." Hamilton McMillan wrote that when European settlers reached the Lumber River in the 1730's, they found a "large tribe of Indians, speaking English, tilling the soil, owning slaves and practicing many of the arts of civilized life." Adolph Dial, in his 1993 book, The Lumbee,states that his people "have lost or forgotten the language and many other aspects of their ancestral culture. In the eyes of many non-Indians, the Lumbee consequently appear to be less 'Indian' than some other groups (p. 22)." The strength of stereotypical views of Indians, and the power, during several periods of Lumbee history, of prejudice against any nonwhites, have caused the Lumbee to investigate their origins, seek a good tribal name, fight for federal recognition, and assert--sometimes violently--the fact of their Indianness. Again, to quote Adolph Dial, the Lumbee "refuse to accept others' narrow definitions of Indianness. They know that the way a person looks or behaves does not make him or her a Lumbee. Instead, they know that their Indianness lies in what they share--a love of their Robeson County home, a special history and heritage, and, perhaps most important, a certain way of viewing the world born from their unique past (p. 23)." I will elaborate in a few minutes on these characteristics Adolph names. But what convinces me--besides knowing the people and seeing the strength of their belief--(having lived in Robeson County for 4 1/2 years and returned frequently for visits) is the sheer volume of writing about the Lumbee. I listed, in my book, a selection of over 1,400 items, ranging from brief newspaper and magazine articles to literary works, scholarly journal articles, government reports, theses and dissertations, videotapes, and books. The archaeological evidence is strong. Also, many noted anthropologists, including John Reed Swanton, William Sturtevant, Raymond Fogelson, Guy Benton Johnson, Karen Blu, Gerald Sider, and Jack Campisi define the Lumbee as Indian. William Sturtevant, general editor of the Smithsonian Institution's revered Handbook of North American Indians, testified at a 1988 Congressional hearing on one of the many recent federal recognition bills. He said, "It is clear that the Lumbee have those characteristics that identify an Indian tribe (p. 86)." He adds, "Anthropologists over the last 100 years have agreed, everyone that has looked at the Lumbee case, that they are an Indian tribe . . . . I think one could say that anthropologists, as a profession, view the Lumbee as an Indian tribe (p. 22)." Gerald Sider, in his 1993 book Lumbee Indian Histories,states, "None of the 'reasons' usually given for contestibility of Lumbee identity could withstand even a few hours' close examination; all are social and cultural conditions that are widespread among Native Americans" (p. xxii). I will elaborate in a few minutes on the characteristics anthropologists name.<br />

<br />
First I want to tell you a little more about Lumbee history. Lumbee people have suffered many of the same discriminations African-Americans have endured in the South. I will mention just a few. The earliest was the revised North Carolina Constitution drafted in 1835, which stated that no free negro, free mulatto, or free persons of mixed blood shall vote, bear arms without a license, or serve in a militia. These restrictions, in Robeson County, came to be applied to the Lumbee. Not until 1868 and 1875 were voting and officeholding restored. Between 1887 and 1941, a series of state laws was passed setting up separate schools for the Lumbee in Richmond, Scotland, Sampson, and other neighboring counties. There were even laws establishing separate quarters in the county jail, county rest home, and state hospital for the insane. In 1917, a state law decreed that the mayor of Pembroke (the Lumbee population center) would be appointed by the governor (thus always white). This was not repealed until 1945. In 1937, an article in the Robesoniandescribed the new Rowland movie theater. It had 478 seats (338 for whites). Whites sat on the main floor, Indians and blacks in separate sections of the balcony. Whites and Indians went in separate main entrances; blacks went in a side entrance. Indians did not serve on juries for forty years--they were deliberately not chosen until a letter of complaint was sent to the Robesonian and a petition given to the presiding judge in 1937. Not until around 1950 would North Carolina colleges (other than University of North Carolina at Pembroke) accept Lumbees as undergraduates. Not until 1953 could UNCP graduates attend North Carolina graduate programs. In 1934 the first Lumbee ran for public office (constable of Fairmont). In 1954, the first Lumbee was elected as a county official (Lacy Maynor, judge). In 1958, the first Lumbee was elected county commissioner. In 1963, the first Lumbee was elected to the Robeson County Board of Education. In 1973, Henry Ward Oxendine became the first Indian legislator in North Carolina. Not until 1989 did an Indian become Superior Court judge in North Carolina (Dexter Brooks).<br />
<br />
Now, I would like to describe some incidents from Lumbee history showing activism. It has taken activism as well as persistence, help from the churches, sympathetic political leaders, and pressure from organizations outside the county to achieve the gains just mentioned.<br />

<br />
[Visual #3] Perhaps the most significant and influential is the Henry Berry Lowry period, 1865-1874. At first the Lumbee sided with the Confederacy. But the Confederacy started constructing Fort Fisher to protect the important merchant port of Wilmington. A yellow fever epidemic in 1862-1863 killed many slaves working on the fortifications. Slaveowners complained, so free persons of color, like the Lumbee, were conscripted. Many, including Henry Berry Lowry, hid in the swamps to escape conscription. They could be, and were, shot for evading military service. Union soldiers who escaped from Confederate prisons, and runaway slaves, did the same. This period was known by the Lumbee as "the starving times." The Lumbee were plundering white plantation storage bins and smokehouses to stay alive--sharing with poor blacks and whites as well. A group of white men called the Home Guard enforced conscription (sometimes viciously), dealt with the stock-plundering, saw to it that Indians didn't have firearms, and flushed out escaped white soldiers. Over a complicated series of accusations and incidents regarding thefts and conscription, the Home Guard shot Henry Berry Lowry's father and brother while he watched from hiding. Henry Berry and a group of supporters promptly stole a large quantity of rifles (purchased for the local militia) from the Lumberton courthouse and began an eight-year war to avenge the deaths. Henry Berry Lowry's tri-racial band also, Robin-Hood-like, robbed plantations, often showing up at dinnertime and dining with their hosts before carrying off the plunder in a mule and wagon. They stole two safes (one from the Sheriff's office and one from a large company), leaving them empty on the main street in Lumberton. Henry Berry Lowry escaped from jail twice. He and his band were outlawed in 1868--meaning anyone could kill them for the reward. The reward for Henry Berry Lowry climbed to $12,000, the largest offered in the 19th century except for Jesse James and Jefferson Davis. Federal troops and federal detectives were brought in. Henry Berry Lowry and his band killed 18 men, including the county sheriff. These men were leaders of posses sent to hunt them down, members of the Home Guard that killed Henry Berry Lowry's father and brother, and bounty hunters. The band's escapades received coverage in the New York Times and in Harper's Magazine [Visual #4]. The New York Herald sent correspondents to Robeson County, and an edited collection of their reports was published in book form in 1872. Henry Berry Lowry was never captured. He disappeared in 1874. Henry Berry Lowry inspired five books, three plays, the outdoor drama Strike at the Wind!,and a movie script. The period accounts for a selection of 60 entries in my bibliography.<br />

<br />
Another significant incident of activism that received widespread publicity was the Lumbee routing of the <a href="http://www.uncp.edu/nativemuseum/klan/index.html">Ku Klux Klan</a> in early 1958. An Indian woman living in a white neighborhood started dating a white man. The Klan planned to show power to the Lumbee and advertised a rally at a farm near Maxton. Lumbee leaders made public statements of resentment, and local officials tried--unsuccessfully--to get it called off. On the night of the rally, 150 Klansmen showed up--as did 1,500-3,000 white, Lumbee, and black spectators--some armed. When the speech started, there was a war whoop. Shotguns fired, the stage light bulbs were shot out, and the loudspeaker was disabled. The Klan members ran. No one was hurt except one photographer, who was grazed when his camera was hit. The news coverage, which included this photograph in Lifemagazine [Visual #5], was so great that the Lumbee, for a time, operated a public relations office in Pembroke to handle inquiries.<br />
<br />
Robeson County, until March of 1988, had five--sometimes six--school districts, which helped to perpetuate segregation. A law referred to by Indians as double-voting allowed town school district members to vote for county school board members (the county school district was 60% Indian) but not vice versa. Thus it was almost impossible for Indian school board candidates to get elected. The Lumbee struggle against this policy finally resulted in a successful class action suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1975.<br />
<br />
In 1970, Robeson County imposed an HEW-mandated school integration plan. The plan bused Indian students long distances, displaced Indian teachers, grouped Indian and black students together (resegregation), and--most importantly--took Indian children away from their hard-earned home-area schools. Five hundred Indian children sat in at their old, community schools from August, 1970 through June, 1971--the longest school sit-in in U.S. history.<br />
<br />
[Visual #6] Old Main, the first brick building on the University of North Carolina at Pembroke campus, constructed in 1921, was scheduled for demolition in 1972 to allow the construction of a performing arts center on the site. Indians protested, because the building was for them a symbol of Indian heritage and achievement. The school was built, through much local expense and labor, to serve as a teacher-training school for the Lumbee. Lumbee protests against the demolition involved rallies, petitions, poems, fliers, threats to leave the Democratic party, and involvement of the National Congress of American Indians. The building was burned on March 18, 1973 (possibly by local Indians). As a result of Lumbee influence, federal and state funds were allocated to renovate Old Main; it was rededicated in February, 1980. It now houses UNCP's American Indian Studies program as well as the <a href="http://www.uncp.edu/nativemuseum/">Native American Resource Center</a>, an Indian museum.<br />
<br />
On February 1, 1988, two Tuscaroras (a much smaller Indian group in the county) took employees of theRobesonian newspaper hostage for ten hours. They did so in protest of numerous problems and racial injustices in the county: police brutality against Indians; the killing of Jimmy Earl Cummings, a Lumbee, by white Sheriff's deputy Kevin Stone with few repercussions; out-of-control drug trafficking; seventeen long-unsolved murders of minorities; poor jail conditions; documented inequities toward minorities in the court system; and Indians and blacks clustered in low-paying jobs. The incident and its aftermath received massive publicity. As a result of this attention, dramatic changes occurred in the county's attention to race relations.<br />
<br />
[Visual #7] In 1988, Lumbee activist Julian Pierce, an attorney who established Lumbee River Legal Services and worked to create a nonprofit health consortium for the poor (among his many achievements) started a campaign against white Robeson County district attorney Joe Freeman Britt for a newly-created, supposedly minority Superior Court judge's position. There had never been a Lumbee Superior Court judge in the county. Pierce was murdered on March 27, 1988. When the election was held, Pierce's name was still on the ballot; and he outpolled Britt. Britt filled the position, so a third minority judgeship was created in 1989. Lumbee attorney Dexter Brooks was appointed to it.<br />

<br />
Here are just a few examples of Lumbee achievements. In 1971, the Lumbee Bank (now Lumbee Guaranty Bank) became the first Indian-owned bank established in the United States. Brantley Blue was the first Indian appointed to the Indian Claims Commission. Lumbee professor and historian Adolph Dial was one of only five Indians to serve on the American Indian Policy Review Commission. Dial also started the American Indian Studies program at UNCP and served on the North Carolina legislature. Lumbee attorney Arlinda Locklear was the first Indian woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. [Visual #8] The Lumbee have had their own weekly newspaper, the Carolina Indian Voice,since 1973. Lonnie Revels has served on Greensboro's City Council. There have been two Lumbee college presidents--Joseph Oxendine (who served from 1989-1999, was, oddly enough, only UNCP's second Indian chancellor) and Dean Chavers (who served as president of Bacone College, Muskogee, Oklahoma). Lumbee artist Lloyd Oxendine is curator of American Indian Community House Gallery/Museum, the first gallery of contemporary Indian art in the United States. Rose Marie Lowry, in 1990, was elected the fist Indian president of the North Carolina Association of Educators. Dr. James G. Jones, who has an endowed professorship at East Carolina University's medical school, was the 1988 Indian Physician of the Year and has been president of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Dennis Lowery, who runs Continental Industrial Chemicals, Inc. in Charlotte, with around 167 employees and $59 million in annual sales, was the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce's 1993 Entrepreneur of the Year. His is supposedly the nation's largest Indian-owned corporation. James Thomas is managing partner in Maguire-Thomas, which was the nation's largest commercial contractor in 1992. His personal net worth was over $40 million.<br />

<br />
Here are some characteristics of the Lumbee that have been noted in the literature and that I have observed--followed by some themes that appear in the scholarship as well as in literary works, art, and music concerning them:<br />
<br />
(1) The first and foremost, as we have seen, is <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2104437978466596073&postID=9083221518500945503&from=pencil"></a>Indian identity and heritage. Karen Blu expressed this well, near the close of her book: "Their identity has done more than allow the Lumbee to survive--it has been an active, motivating force enabling them to flourish" (The Lumbee Problem, p. 235).<br />
<br />
(2) <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2104437978466596073&postID=9083221518500945503&from=pencil"></a>Robeson County as Home : Lumbee people who move away, however long they have been away, still consider Robeson County "home." They ask each other, "When have you been home?" They return home--when the job situation there is better, or because they finished their degree, or because they didn't like wherever they had moved as much as "Old Rob." There is even an annual Lumbee Homecoming festival in Pembroke. This began in 1970. One function of the festival is to help Lumbees outside the county maintain the tribal affiliation required by tribal membership guidelines.<br />

[Visual #9] Agriculture is probably still the chief economic activity. There are 1,500 farms, and 72% of them are less than 180 acres. The important crops are tobacco (59% of crop income), soybeans, cotton, corn for grain, and wheat. [Visual #10] The climate is humid subtropical--long, hot summers and short, mild winters. There are violent rainstorms in summer and sometimes tornadoes in spring (I remember well the 1984 tornadoes which hit Red Springs and did $10 million in damage). Robeson is a sunny county; there is sunshine over 50% of the day in winter and 70% in summer. The county is rural; 77% of housing units are classed in rural areas. [Visual #11] The Lumber River (which the Indians called Lumbee, meaning "black water") is officially designated a small blackwater stream. It runs for 58 miles through the county. Its tributaries (including Big Swamp, Ashpole Swamp, and Back Swamp) drain most of the county. It's called a blackwater river because the water is tea-colored; it absorbs tannic acid from the vegetation in and around the river as it moves slowly through the swamps. The river is mostly narrow, slow, and meandering--rarely over 10 feet deep. It rises in the Sandhills of Moore County and moves southeast through Richmond, Hoke, Scotland, Robeson and Columbus into South Carolina, where it becomes the Little Pee Dee. It was designated a North Carolina Natural and Scenic River in 1971. In 1989, a 115-mile section was named a state park. In September 1998, 81 miles of the river were added to the national Wild and Scenic Rivers system. [Visual #12] Laurel oak is the most common vegetation along the river--but there is also a lot of gum-cypress swamp, with cypress trees, tupelo gum, swamp gum, sweet gum, and willow oak. Fish are plentiful, as are beaver.<br />

[Visual #14] There is very close, frequent contact--some of my friends saw or talked to their mothers or siblings every day. There seemed to be a high tolerance of the behavior of people in the family, because they were family (this was noted in a doctoral dissertation). Often, family would give other family members land for a trailer or house and even help them build it (we see this often in mountain people, as well). Family would sometimes move in with other family members for awhile, or take care of their children for awhile. There are a few common surnames that are distinctly Lumbee--some were on the list of Lost Colonists. Oxendine, Locklear, and Brayboy are perhaps the most unusual. It is important for Lumbee people to connect each other up with their family, and many are related (however far back). Adolph Dial was fond of saying that when two Lumbee meet, within about five minutes they will have connected each other to someone they know or to distant kinsmen. I've witnessed these exchanges many times.<br />

One study has documented Lumbee Methodism back to 1787. Church membership and participation are very strong forces in Lumbee life. The Lumbee created two Indian church conferences--the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association (founded around 1880) and the Lumber River Conference of the Holiness Methodist Association. Bruce Barton documented 104 Lumbee churches in 1984; there are undoubtedly more now and have been more in earlier years. Ministers are highly revered. [Visual #15] Prospect Methodist Church, with 603 members in 1990, is purportedly the largest Native American church in the nation. When a sizeable number of Lumbee people move to another city, they often tend to settle in a particular section or neighborhood. They also establish a Native American church; this happened in Baltimore, Greensboro, Fayetteville, Charlotte, and Claxton, Georgia. The churches have been a strong force in community outreach, helping meet basic survival needs and achieve social justice. Lumbee ministers have started a couple of gospel television programs (and one entire station). The lead singer of the Lumbee gospel group Carla and Redemption is an announcer on a gospel radio station.<br />

The Lumbee strove long and hard (as we heard in a recent speech at Appalachian State University by Rosa Winfree) to establish their own schools public schools; to establish what became University of North Carolina at Pembroke (originally a teacher-training or normal school for the Lumbee) [Visual #16, Visual #17], to gain admission to other colleges in the state and then to graduate programs, and to gain representation on the county school board. The Lumbee were instrumental in the long struggle to merge the county's five school systems (1988), so that resources would be pooled and education improved for all races. As individuals, they strive to get college degrees for themselves, to keep their children in public school, to see that they get what they need from the schools, and then to send their children to the best college they can afford, taking advantage of programs for gifted minority students.<br />

It also appeared frequently in the newspaper articles (especially the Carolina Indian Voice) that I looked at for my book and in materials produced by the Title V Compensatory Indian Education Program. It is exemplified by the awards given out during Lumbee Homecoming each July 4. The list of firsts I went through earlier is actually much, much longer. The Lumbee have, for many years, recorded firsts--from the minor (such as the first Indian licensed chiropractor in North Carolina-1993) to the very significant (establishing the first Indian-owned bank in the nation, 1971; and the first Native American legislator in North Carolina--Henry Ward Oxendine in 1973). They also celebrate the wide range of areas in which Lumbee people have excelled. I mentioned several earlier, and will mention more as I continue.<br />

It includes a sensitivity to insult, a quickness in reacting to it, a willingness to stand up for themselves, and a tendency to settle issues, when necessary, with fighting or violence. This "meanness" is usually only manifested when there are attacks on the Lumbees' Indian identity (as we saw during the Henry Berry Lowry era, the Ku Klux Klan routing, and theRobesonian hostage-taking). It is usually aimed only at whites. There has, of course, been Indian meanness against other Indians--fights, cutting, shooting, or verbal threats. The characteristic of "meanness" goes back as far as 1753, when a military surveyor stated that people living on Drowning Creek shot at him for coming onto the land they were occupying, incomprehensibly to him, without paying rents or having patents.<br />

<br />
First, I intend this discussion to be a survey, highlighting the types of literary works that have dealt with the Lumbee and the themes these works illustrate. For critical analysis, I recommend three excellent articles (The Lumbee Indians: An Annotated Bibliography items 352, 382, and <a href="http://linux.library.appstate.edu/lumbee/7/384.html">384</a>) by Robert W. Reising, an English professor at University of North Carolina at Pembroke who teaches a course dealing with Lumbee literature.<br />
<br />
Over the years there have been more literary works involving the Lumbee written by non-Lumbees than by the people themselves, although this trend appears to be changing.<br />
<br />
The first theme I want to discuss, analyzed in depth by Reising's article in MELUS, is Henry Berry Lowry. Three Carolina folkplays featured this Lumbee folk hero. Paul Green's 1922 play, The Last of the Lowries,was the first play produced by the Carolina Playmakers. This group was founded at UNC-Chapel Hill by Frederick Koch to produce folk plays generated by his playwriting course. The Carolina Playmakers performed folkplays throughout the state and region. Two other Carolina folkplays dealt with Henry Berry Lowry: One was William Norment Cox's The Scuffletown Outlaws (1926). Cox grew up in the Robeson County town of Rowland. The other was Clare Marley's Swamp Outlaw (1939). Marley taught for some time in Robeson County schools. A 1940 novel by John Paul Lucas and Bailey T. Groome, The King of Scuffletoun,was based on stories told to Groome by Henry Berry Lowry's brother, Sinclair. A 1974 novel by Jeff Fields called A Cry of Angels has a major character, Em Jojohn, a Lumbee, who late in the novel recalls Henry Berry Lowry by using his formidable fighting abilities to resolve a political situation in Quarrytown and end the oppression of the town's residents of all races.<br />
<br />
Another trend in Lumbee literature has been pageants or plays dealing with Lumbee history which were written more for performance than as literary works. [Visual #18] The first was a pageant written by Dakota Indian linguistic anthropologist <a href="http://voices.cla.umn.edu/authors/EllaDeloria.html">Ella Deloria</a>, called The Life Story of a People. It had a cast of 150 Lumbee people and was performed--with very favorable and enthusiastic response and lots of local and regional press coverage--in 1940 and 1941. Deloria, who was the aunt of Vine Deloria Junior, was employed by the Farm Security Administration to spend time living in the Pembroke community, study the Lumbee, and write and direct a community pageant about their origins and heritage. Her advisor at the time was Franz Boas. The pageant ranged from aboriginal times, through the Henry Berry Lowry period, to the present. The last surviving daughter of Henry Berry Lowry attended one of the presentations, and one of Henry Berry Lowry's rifles was used as a prop. Incidentally, people have searched through the years for a copy of the script, but it has never been uncovered. I have even corresponded with Vine Deloria Junior about this. He made several unsuccessful trips to Robeson County searching for it. A copy of a portion of a rough draft of the script has been discovered and can be viewed, or a photocopy obtained, from the Dakota Indian Foundation (see item <a href="http://linux.library.appstate.edu/lumbee/8/DELO001.htm">DELO001</a>). <br />
<br />
Kate Rinzler, who was in Robeson County working, I believe, in an educational position, perhaps funded by Title V Compensatory Indian Education, produced a two-act documentary in 1988 called "The Miracle of Maxton Field"--based on interviews with people who witnessed the 1958 Ku Klux Klan routing. She also produced a children's play, again based on oral history and set in the 1920's, called "Going Seining," about Indians seining for subsistence.<br />
<br />
The idea for an outdoor drama based on Lumbee history surfaced as early as 1963 in a proposal from University of North Carolina at Pembroke chancellor English Jones. Originally, Paul Green was involved in writing the script, but finally only Randolph Umberger's name appeared on it. The first performance of Strike at the Wind! was July 2, 1976. The play deals with the Henry Berry Lowry era, features many Lumbee actors, and was performed each summer in an amphitheater in the Lumbee settlement of Red Banks. (There was a hiatus in its performance for a couple of years; but the play <a href="http://linux.library.appstate.edu/lumbee/8/JAEN004.htm">resumed production</a> in summer 2006.)<br />
<br />
The most recent pageant was spearheaded by Scott Meltsner, a recent graduate of Brown University, and funded by North Carolina Arts Council, with contributions from several Robeson County entities. Called the Robeson County Indian Play Project, it used group scripting by Barbara Braveboy-Locklear, Karen Coronado, Hayes Locklear, Hatty Ruth Miller, and others. Twenty Lumbee actors performed the play, called "Listen to the River," in April 1993.<br />
<br />
Another trend which I noticed immediately was the use of Lumbee characters, themes, and settings as an element of local color. It also seems that many of the writers who employ the Lumbee in their work have North Carolina, or even Robeson County, ties. Here are some examples. (1) Waldron Bailey's 1916 novel, The Homeward Trail (see item <a href="http://linux.library.appstate.edu/lumbee/7/285.HTM">285</a>),set near the end of the Civil War. In this work, a young mountain boy falls in love with the daughter of Henry Berry Lowry, who by then is the 50-year-old chief of a Croatan Indian settlement. Bailey was a North Carolina businessman and outdoorsman. (2) Gerald W. Johnson, also a North Carolinian, wrote a 1930 novel, By Reason of Strength (based on his own family's migration from Scotland to America). In a minor episode, the main character, Catharine White, goes to Scuffletown (an old name for Pembroke) and uses medicinal herbs to treat a smallpox epidemic among the Croatan Indians. (3) A 1964 young adult novel by Gwen Kimball, The Puzzle of Roanoke, involves a teenaged library assistant who helps a wealthy man establish a connection between the man's great-grandmother and John Cheven of the Lost Colony. They visit the Robeson County farm of a Lumbee actor in The Lost Colony. (4) North Carolina writer Manly Wade Wellman wrote a 1951 juvenile novel, The Haunts of Drowning Creek,in which two boys take a canoe trip on Drowning Creek (the upper part of the Lumber River) hunting confederate gold and run into some Lumbee Indians. [Visual #19] (5) A 1990 Harlequin Historical novel, Stormwalker (by two writers, Dixie Browning and Mary Williams, who have lived in North Carolina), features one of the first Lumbee, an Indian named Stormwalker who is the son of a Hatteras chief and a White woman and was born on the island of Croatoan.<br />
<br />
We have seen the trend of literary works reflecting or dealing directly with events in Lumbee history. There have been poems and songs with do this, in addition to the longer works already discussed. The Ku Klux Klan routing quickly inspired a couple of poems--one called "The Charge of the Lumbee Indians." It also inspired a ballad by folksinger <a href="http://www.sisterschoice.com/malvinamain.html">Malvina Reynolds</a>, called "The Battle of Maxton Field," which she performed on an album and which, I am told, was also performed by the Limelighters. Another example is on your handout--the poem "As the Wind Changeth--A New Name." This poem was written by a Lumbee using the pen name The Diamond Kid. His real name was Carlee Hunt. Submitted to the Robesonian newspaper on February 14, 1934, it gently pokes fun at tribal leaders' search for a name that will convince others of what his people had known all along--their Indian heritage and identity. "Hamilton Mac" is Hamilton McMillan, the state legislator who got the Croatan bill passed in 1885. "Cherokee" was the name passed into law by North Carolina in 1913. "Dr. Swain" refers to John Reed Swanton, the anthropologist whose 1933 federal report said the tribe was descended from Siouan tribes, most prominently the Cheraw and Keyauwee. Some copies of his report include a handwritten note that "an accurate designation would be 'Siouan Indians of the Lumber River.'" This note caused a flurry of activity in the U.S. Congress. Two factions among the Lumbee were battling for federal recognition. A bill was introduced to recognize the Indians as Cheraw--but it was superseded by a bill, and hearings, for the name Siouan. At the same time, a different faction wanted to introduce a bill for federal recognition (they already had this as state recognition and tribal name) as Cherokee Indians of Robeson and Adjacent Counties.<br />
<br />
We have already seen the trend of writing projects--funded by Title V Compensatory Indian Education or other agencies--which produce literary works by or about the Lumbee. This trend seems to be increasing. Some of the writing produced by these projects illustrates themes noted earlier: (1) Robeson County as home, and (2) Indian identity.<br />
<br />
[Visual #20] Barbara Braveboy-Locklear, who for several years administered the Indian Education Resource Center for the Robeson County schools and is now a private consultant on topics involving the Lumbee and other North Carolina tribes, has been involved in several of these projects. Her credentials are numerous, and her knowledge level extensive. She has been speaking and writing about her people for many years. In 1992 she conducted a writing workshop for 18 Native American women, funded by Z. Smith Reynolds and the North Carolina Writers' Network. A selection of the materials they wrote was published in Pembroke Magazine, a literary "little magazine" published annually at University of North Carolina at Pembroke. One of your handouts is her essay, "Land of the Lumbee." Note the many references to the Robeson County landscape--the river, the swamps, the plants used for food and medicine, and the wildflowers among the cornfields (I've seen this many times). Notice also her statement, "I do not care to live any other place." This is a deep, abiding belief for many Lumbee people.<br />
<br />
Another project, called Lumbee Voices, collected poetry and prose written by 41 Lumbee high school students. The project was conducted by Ben Turner, a recent graduate of Appalachian State University, and Jeff Currie as part of their Indian literature course at UNCP in 1993. They edited the writings, grouping them into categories such as Stereotype, Identity, Heroes, Nature, and History. You have one fine example, "The Indian Way," as a handout.<br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2104437978466596073&postID=9083221518500945503&from=pencil"></a><b>Lumbee Art</b><br />
<br />
Attention for Lumbee artists has been relatively recent, and only a handful have received the notice they deserve, particularly beyond the local or state level. Lumbee art has been nurtured by these factors: (1) the annual selection of a painting by a Lumbee artist for auction to raise funds for Strike at the Wind.Gloria Tara Lowery's painting, "Spirit of a People" (depicting Henry Berry Lowry) was auctioned by $10,000. (2) the commissioning of artworks by Title V Compensatory Indian Education and, occasionally, by Lumbee individuals. (3) exhibitions sponsored and publicized by the Native American Resource Center, an excellent museum at University of North Carolina at Pembroke--particularly since Dr. Stanley Knick has been curator.<br />
<br />
The Lumbee artist who has gained the most acclaim, over the longest period of time, has been <a href="http://www.genelocklear.com/">Gene Locklear</a>. [Visual #21] Locklear, who grew up on a farm in Pembroke, played professional baseball for ten years--first minor league with the Cincinnati Reds, then major league with the San Diego Padres and New York Yankees. He retired from baseball in 1979 to pursue an art career. His work is in the White House, Smithsonian Institution, various art museums, governors' mansions, and the personal collections of 150 pro athletes, celebrities, corporate CEOs, and political and other public figures. His specialties are Native American themes (as you just saw) and sports art. He was the NFL Super Bowl artist in 1988, and in 1992 was commissioned the Official Artist of the NFL. In the last few months he did a life-sized poster of Michael Jordan and presented it to him. His work has been immensely popular in Robeson County and elsewhere--in fact, Title V Compensatory Indian Education and others have commissioned his work, including a large painting called "Henry Berry Lowry and the Lumbee River." It does, however, evoke stereotypes of Plains Indians.<br />
<br />
Another example of Gene Locklear's work is the poster of Harold Collins on the table. Collins commissioned the poster. [Visual #22] Collins is an amazing guy, both personally and athletically. He's a powerlifter who runs a gym in the town of Pembroke. His nickname is Chief Iron Bear. He twice won the American National Powerlifting contest; he won a gold medal at the 1993 World Powerlifting Championships, and in 1994 was the world bench press champion, pressing 705 pounds. The photograph you saw was from April, 1994, when Collins placed in the Guinness Book of World Records for pulling five tractor trailer cabs (weighing 86,560 pounds) 51 feet at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was a new world record for pulling weight without assistance. Collins travels around the country and the world talking about the importance of fitness (especially to youth) and about his Native American identity. He does a great deal of work for charity. In January he did another truck pull to raise funds for St. Jude's Children's Hospital.<br />
<br />
Lumbee educators like Barbara Braveboy-Locklear and Hayes Locklear (who now has a florist shop and sells Lumbee arts and crafts), as well as museum curators, are being called upon by the public and the artists and craftspersons themselves to help find, make accessible, support, and develop Lumbee arts and crafts. One approach they are taking is to encourage artists and craftspeople to incorporate themes and materials that research and oral history confirm as being Lumbee. [Visual #23] Hayes Locklear, for instance, designed the regalia you see in this photograph of Miss Lumbee, Miss Indian USA, and Little Miss Lumbee. He studied written records back to the 1800's and concluded that at that time, Lumbee women's clothing would have basically been European style. The hair would have been worn much like Navajo women, with a bun at top and bottom. The quilt he incorporated into the dress is the Pine Cone pattern (unique to the Lumbee). He used other Robeson County materials as well--a chinaberry necklace; a ball of cotton twine in the pocket; and a headdress resembling a war bonnet worn by the Pamunkey, Piscataway, and Catawba in earlier periods but revived by the Lumbee during the Red Man Lodges of the 1930's and 1940's (there are existing photographs which show this). This candidate for Miss Indian USA, for her talent, tied tobacco and talked about its importance to Lumbee women. Artists and craftspeople, with this kind of encouragement from educators, are working with gourds (which documentation shows were used by the Lumbee as utensils in the past), weaving baskets, and making jewelry from natural materials such as chinaberries and pumpkin seeds. Educators such as Hayes see that the accelerated move, in recent years, for federal recognition, and the research it has necessitated, have caused an inner seeking among Lumbee artists and craftspersons. They are rediscovering and reviving Lumbee ways and traditions, especially the natural environment of Robeson County, and incorporating this into their work, rather than echoing stereotypes of Plains Indians, as was widely done ten years ago.<br />
<br />
Another trend in Lumbee art--which we saw in literature as well--is the use of events from Lumbee history. There are many paintings dealing with Henry Berry Lowry. These can be seen at the Native American Resource Center at University of North Carolina at Pembroke, at the Indian Education Resource Center just down the road from UNCP, in local newspaper articles, and even reproduced in restaurants in Robeson County. There are also paintings dealing with the election of the first Lumbee sheriff, the important figures in Lumbee education, and [Visual #24] the Ku Klux Klan routing. Notice how this painting incorporates the photograph we saw earlier from Lifemagazine.<br />
<br />
Another Lumbee painter who has received attention since about 1989 is Karen Coronado. [Visual #25] Her work was featured in a one-woman show called "The Spiral Dance" at UNCP's Native American Resource Center in late 1994. Her 31 works included acrylic and oil paintings, painted gourds, and works incorporating leather and bone. Her style is contemporary. The exhibition received very favorable comment and lots of interest from students, the general public, and art professors--even though the general public in Robeson County has been slow to accept contemporary art. Coronado was one of eight women chosen from 500 emerging Native American women artists for inclusion in a 1992 book called Women in American Indian Society. The book, by Rayna Green, was published by Chelsea House.<br />
<br />
Hatty Ruth Miller's work, like Karen Coronado's, is contemporary. She is 45. Her mother is Lumbee. She spent half her life in California and half in Robeson County, where she now lives and works for the Public Defender's Office. She is self-taught. Her paintings are sold at Mother Earth Galleries (Hayes Locklear's florist shop, which I mentioned earlier). Hayes notes that he has received more negative comments about her contemporary style than about other Indian works he sells--but he has also sold more of her works than anyone else's. Here is a quotation from Miller: "In the process of my work, I aim to evoke the seemingly silent memories of my ancestors. Our past, from the beginning of time, can seem to be held in a closed box, where no light exists and one cannot see or touch it; yet we know it is there. When in truth, I believe that our ancient past exists in unspoken memories and is brought to life in the color, tone, texture, and shape of our lives."<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://linux.library.appstate.edu/lumbee/images/miller-4.jpg" /> </div><br />
This first painting evokes Native American images through the feather in the woman's hair and the sharp, gaunt angles of her face. To me, it speaks more strongly through the words written underneath--"I walked across a frozen lake"--about a woman who, after emotional pain, is willing to transcend the numbness which follows pain and open her heart and feelings to a man once again. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://linux.library.appstate.edu/lumbee/images/miller-2.jpg" /> </div><br />
The second painting suggests Native American regalia with the bold design behind the Indian's head. It also makes me recall a statement by Adolph Dial: The Lumbee know that the way a person looks or behaves does not make her or him Indian. But for the Lumbee, the central fact of their history is that they are Indian in origin and social status. This painting of Hatty's, to me, represents this centrality of Indian identity for the Lumbee; this shows the way they view themselves. <br />
<br />
The painting (again by Hatty Ruth Miller) I have here [Visual] resonates both Robeson County and Lumbee themes in several ways. The dark blue recalls the Lumber River; the brown vertical, the flatness and clay soil of Robeson County; the white spots, the bright sunniness of Robeson County's climate; this green shape, a turtle--frequently seen in the Lumber River; the red vertical, Indianness; the cross shape, the importance of church to the Lumbee; the circle, the interconnectedness of things in Native American spirituality.<br />
<br />
The range of Lumbee arts and crafts extends far beyond painting. The works of many of theartists I'm going to list can be seen at the Native American Resource Center at UNCP, and at the Indian Education Resource Center. Timothy P. Locklear and Harold B. Locklear are working in ceramics. Evelyn White is carving in soapstone. Mike Wilkins does wood and soapstone carving. Mary Bell makes baskets. <a href="http://ncarts.org/ncfha/brook_fa.html">Lela Brooks</a>, of the Saddletree community, at age 85, recently won a North Carolina Folk Heritage award for intricate crocheted works, such as tablecloths, that she has been making since childhood from white cotton tobacco twine.<br />
<br />
Another area of artistic representation of the Lumbee is photography. The Lumbee have been of interest to photographers since 1929, when the Robesonian reported that Doris Ulmann visited Pembroke to photograph the area's Indians. Ulmann is best known for her photography of Appalachian people, and her portraiture of the New York literary, theatrical, and medical community. You have already seen a photograph by National Geographic photographer Steve Walls. It was part of a photographic essay on Lumbee elders in a magazine called Northeast Indian Quarterly. Roger Manley, who writes about and photographs outsider art (among other things), did a wonderful series of 49 photographs of Lumbee people and their ways called "Scattered Feathers." These were on exhibit at the Native American Resource Center in January. In 1994, Mark Wagoner did a series of photographs called "Pathmakers: North Carolina Native American Women of Distinction." Some of these were published in the 1995 Pembroke Magazine I mentioned earlier. A very significant exhibition, from which there are four items on loan on the table, is called "Recollections: Lumbee Heritage." It showed at Charlotte's Mint Museum of Art between January and March of 1995, and then at University of North Carolina at Pembroke. For this exhibition, photographs taken between 1870 and 1945 were collected from Lumbee people by the Museum staff. The photographs concentrated on Lumbee family life, social gatherings, farm work, and religious and spiritual ceremonies. Then, Lumbee photographer David Oxendine made parallel photographs of these same themes in 1994. The Mint Museum staff, the Native American Resource Center, and Barbara Braveboy-Locklear did field research to document the early photographs that were submitted. There were a total of 40 photographs. Barbara gathered oral histories to expand upon the photographs through panels that accompanied them and through gallery walk-throughs which she led.<br />

<br />
I will discuss music only briefly and am consciously omitting (but not denying the importance of) the music and dance of pow-wows.<br />
<br />
Church and gospel music have long been important among the Lumbee. A masters thesis was done in 1943 on Lumbee singing conventions, which were gatherings of groups of singers from the area churches of one denomination to sing religious music. The records of the singing conventions of the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association were meticulously kept in ledger books by their secretary, Lacy Maynor.<br />
<br />
Now I want to turn to another type of music which I'll call educational music. [Visual #28] Willie French Lowery recorded an album in the 1970's called <a href="http://www.willielowery.com/index.html">Proud to Be a Lumbee</a>. Willie spent many years singing this and other songs about Lumbee history for school children in Robeson County. He also won an award for the album from the North Carolina Federation of Music Clubs. He earned the Raleigh News and Observer's "Tar Heel of the Week" tribute in 1979, after he had written the score for the outdoor drama <a href="http://www.strikeatthewind.com/index.html">Strike at the Wind!</a>. In 1993 (the more recent photos you see) he started a studio, Soundsation, in which he and others will record gospel, country, or rock music. Lowery produced another album--consisting, once again, of educational songs aimed at young people, called A Tribute to Old Main. Here is part of a song from that album, called "Wheel of Life," which mentions the process, and people involved, in constructing the first school building which evolved into University of North Carolina at Pembroke.<br />
<br />
Gospel music is very popular among the Lumbee, and there are a number of groups which travel to various churches, community centers, and events to sing free of charge. A studio was recently established, Triple R in Pembroke, to record tapes for these groups to sell so they could recoup a little of their traveling expenses. Some groups, such as the Pierce Family, have been singing for many years and have recorded several albums and tapes. One of the Pierces wrote the song "Thinking About Home" a few months before Julian Pierce's death. It includes a verse about death and family members dying--so the Pierces recorded an album with this as the lead song, dedicating the album to Julian. The photograph of Julian you saw earlier was from that album. Here is a song from one of their tapes, Exquisite. The song is called "I want Us to Be Together in Heaven." It's very representative of their music and that of other Lumbee gospel groups.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have been researching the Going/Goin/Goins family, off and on, since the late 1970’s or early 1980’s.<span> </span>I have corresponded with many researchers about our family – Warren Tyndale Faulkner, Leon Meyers, Arlee Gowen, Cyndie Goins Hoelscher, Jack Goins, Tracy Hudgins (formerly Hutchison) and most recently, Sandra Loridans, Dianne Thurman and Beverly Nelson – just to name a few.<span> </span>For the past 10 or 15 years my cousin, Troy Goins, and I have worked together and made many research excursions to the areas surrounding Claiborne County, TN, Randolph County, NC and most recently several counties in Virginia.<span> </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Our most distant, proven ancestor is Thomas Going, c. 1729-1797, of Randolph County, NC.<span> </span>We believe Thomas must have come to North Carolina from Virginia.<span> </span>Most of the Virginia counties that we’ve researched were along the North Carolina border trying to see where he may have lived prior to settling in Randolph County.<span> </span>A few years ago we located his will, dated February 7, 1797 (Randolph County Will Book 2, p. 37) which listed our Burton as one of his children.<span> </span>P. G. Fulkerson wrote that Burton <i>“came to Lonesome Valley </i>(in Claiborne County, TN)<i> from N.C. about 1835.”</i><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Troy and I have long believed that Thomas Goin (old Tommy), the American Revolutionary War soldier of Claiborne County, TN, was an older son of our Thomas Going in North Carolina, an older brother to our Burton.<span> </span>There has been much research on “old Tommy” of Claiborne County but no one had been able to locate his father.<span> </span>We attended the memorial service for Thomas Goin on October 10, 2009 at Pleasant Point cemetery, in Claiborne County, Tennessee, hoping to meet some of his descendants who might have a genealogical link to our Goins line, but we struck out.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">On one of our excursions in February 2010 Troy and I went to the library and state archives in Nashville, TN to do some research on our genealogy.<span> </span>We ran across a book that had a chapter on the Goins family.<span> </span>It was by Beverly Nelson in Littleton, Colorado and had our Thomas Going in it!<span> </span>I found her phone number online and called her to order a couple of her books.<span> </span>She only had two left and I ordered them both for Troy and I.<span> </span>Bev has done extensive research on the Goin(s) family and also written articles for the Gowen Research Foundation newsletter.<span> </span>She believed, as Troy and I did, that “old Tommy” and our Burton were brothers, sons of Thomas Going of Randolph County, NC.<span> </span>Over the next few weeks she kept urging me to contact Jack Goins of Rogersville, Tennessee and participate in the Goins Y-DNA project.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I finally decided to order my Y-DNA test kit in March 2010 and got my results back in April.<span> </span>Sure enough – I was a match with several of “old Tommy’s” descendants – including Pat Goin Jones and Sherry Goin whom I had met in June 2010 at the Melungeon Historical Society conference in Sneedville, Tennessee.<span> </span>When I forwarded my Y-DNA results to Bev Nelson she was beside herself.<span> </span>Later, in August, she located Wilson Goin’s Civil War claim which listed Sterling Goin as Wilson’s second cousin.<span> </span>(Tracy Hudgins had sent me a copy of Wilson’s Civil War claim a year earlier but I had not made the connection between Wilson and Sterling.)<span> </span>Bev is a descendant of Sterling so she immediately made the connection.<span> </span>She put this information alongside my Y-DNA results and called it the “smoking gun” in solving the mystery of “old Tommy’s” father – our Thomas Going of Randolph County, NC!<span> </span>Combine the DNA results and Wilson’s Civil War claim – that’s pretty conclusive evidence.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Troy and I decided to focus our attention on finding Thomas Going’s parents and his place of birth.<span> </span>We had assumed he was born and raised in Virginia.<span> </span>We had seen where some of “old Tommy’s” descendants believe he was born in Brunswick County, VA so we decided to make that one of our stops.<span> </span>We had planned on returning to the state archives in Raleigh, NC after visiting some of the southern Virginia counties surrounding Brunswick County.<span> </span>After visiting with Bev we decided to also swing on up to Fairfax County, VA on that trip.<span> </span>We weren’t just grasping at straws when we decided to go to Fairfax County.<span> </span>When I visited Bev in her home last September she had shared some information she had found on a John and Mary Keife Gowen, with a son Thomas.<span> </span>It was a deed where they were buying land in Fairfax County.<span> </span>She had suggested that we try to locate the original deed.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In October 2010, on our way to Virginia, we visited Granville County, NC because we had seen where a Thomas Going had paid taxes there in the 1750s and 1760s.<span> </span>We found the records but weren’t able to make a concrete connection with him.<span> </span>We spent a couple of days in Mecklenburg, Lunenburg, Brunswick and Greensville counties in Virginia and did find some information on the same John Gowen which Bev hoped we would find in Fairfax County.<span> </span>From there we headed to Virginia Beach, but not for genealogy purposes.<span> </span>We had to give our wives a break from the research (which they are not interested in) in order to preserve their sanity.<span> </span>From there we had to move on to Raleigh, NC because our time was running out.<span> </span>On our way to Raleigh we did have the opportunity to visit a couple of libraries in Southampton County, VA.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">On October 15, 2010 Troy and I got to see the ACTUAL will of our Thomas Going that he had written in February of 1797!<span> </span>It is in the state archives in Raleigh, NC.<span> </span>I can’t describe the feeling of looking at a document that one of your ancestors had written 213 years earlier!<span> </span>I took a picture of it and then got an official stamped copy of it.<span> </span>We never made it up to Fairfax County on that excursion. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In December of 2010 Pat Goin Jones, Sherry Goin, Troy and myself started planning a trip to Fairfax County, VA for the summer of 2011.<span> </span>I had learned of the Genealogy Jamboree that was scheduled for Cumberland Gap, TN so we planned our Virginia trip to coincide with the Jamboree.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In June of 2011 we spent a couple of days at the Genealogy Jamboree in Cumberland Gap before heading to Fairfax County, VA.<span> </span>It was a very informative genealogy seminar and among the speakers were Jack Goins, foremost Melungeon researcher and Roberta Estes, foremost DNA expert.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>Our first stop in Fairfax County was the courthouse and I immediately asked for John and Mary’s deed that was dated 1740.<span> </span>She told us their records only dated back to 1742 and my heart sank!<span> </span>However we were able to locate it in about 10 minutes, along with three other deeds for John.<span> </span>The indenture had taken place in 1740 but wasn’t recorded until 1743, thus they had a copy of it.<span> </span>There was also a deed for a Thomas Going dated 1743.<span> </span>It’s not likely this was our Thomas as he is suspected to have been born around 1730.<span> </span>However it may be another ancestor that we haven’t connected with yet.<span> </span>The next day we went to Prince William County, VA and found more information on John and Mary Gowen.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>We returned from that trip with nearly 500 pages of information from the various Virginia counties.<span> </span>We now have the task of going through all of it and sorting it out.<span> </span>We have no concrete evidence as of yet, but we believe this Thomas, son of John and Mary Keife Gowen, may be our Thomas Going of North Carolina.<span> </span>If we can prove this we will have gone back two more generations because one of the deeds listed William Gowen as the father of John Gowen.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>In future articles I will trace our family movements from Randolph County, NC to Claiborne County, TN and points beyond.<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><br />

David Gowen was head of Wythe County, Virginia household of 8 "other free" in 1810. He was about seventy-six years old on 26 February 1834 when he appeared in Hamilton County, Tennessee Court to apply for a pension for his services in the Revolution. He testified that he entered the service in Halifax County, Virginia, moved to Grayson County, Virginia, for three years, then to Wythe County for ten years, then to Grainger County, Tennessee, for fourteen years and lived in Hamilton County for one year. His younger brother Laban Goens testified on his behalf [M805-362, frames 27-30].<br />

when the charter of the Virginia Company of London was revoked by the crown. Prior to that date the<br />
colony had been run as a private corporation with final authority resting in the hands of the stockholders;<br />
afterwards, it was a royal colony with all the trappings and institutions of government that such a status<br />
required. The Grand Assembly, begun in 1619, evolved into the House of Burgesses by 1642, governors<br />
and lieutenant governors were sent to the colony as the king’s viceroys, regular courts were established,<br />
and a complex system of government was developed to lead and protect the growing colony.</td></tr>

That question has plagued me for decades and caused years of research. Unfortunately, I have not found a definitive answer because there is no reliable trail of deeds, wills, tax lists or other documents to point us in the right direction. I will attempt to answer that question by giving you my best guess based on the information I have collected to date. I freely admit that I cannot prove my theory with documents but it is my hope that the theory is someday proven or disproven, through research, newly found documents and DNA. In analyzing my “best guess” we will look at some of the available information and the surrounding circumstances and see if we can draw some reasonable inferences from that information.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The most well-known location where the people who came to be known as “Melungeons” lived is Hawkins and Hancock Counties in Tennessee. These two counties had a large population of mulatto/fpc people and many descendants of the original settlers still live in the area.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is important at the outset to consider a couple of questions. Was it an historical and geographical accident that these people migrated to and lived in the same area of Tennessee? Was it just a coincidence? I think not. Several of the families moved into the area together, as a group. Some of the families or the ancestors of those families had been acquainted at some time and location prior to moving to Tennessee. Sometimes the group would split and go in different directions only to meet again at a new location. Sometimes, a family would drift off from the group and in a short time become “white” on documents and lose their connection to the group. Members of the group, and their ancestors, tended to intermarry within the group as the group slowly migrated westward. Continuous intermarriage within the group was the primary force that retained and preserved those characteristics in the individual which led to them being called “Melungeon” or listed as mulatto or fpc on documents.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Let’s begin our discussion of the Moore family in Rockingham County, North Carolina, with John Moore and try and establish some relationships. We know for a fact that John had five sons and I will suggest that he had a father, Charles, and probably three brothers, James, Andrew and Ephraim.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The most valuable document in researching these Moores, and the most well-known, is John Moore’s Revolutionary War pension application. The pension application was made by John in 1834 in Floyd County, Kentucky, and, after his death, by his wife, Sally. From that application we learn that John was born in May of 1758 in Orange County, North Carolina, that he married Sally Goodman in March of 1784, in Rockingham County, and, they had five sons, Joel, Andrew, Obadiah, Edmund and John Jr.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">John would have been about 26 years of age at the time of his marriage and Sally, who was born about 1765, was about 19 years of age. We know John lived for most of his adult life in, first, Surry County, and then across the county line in the north-west corner of Rockingham County in an area which came to be known as Goinstown. The Moores lived along Hickory and Buffalo Creeks of the Mayo River just south of the Virginia line.</div><h6 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #0a0a0a; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Goinstown.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #474134; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-90" height="350" src="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Goinstown.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; height: auto; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Goinstown" width="513" /></a><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

These two people are Charles and probably his wife. Charles may have had two wives because a Charles Moore married Elizabeth Going on August 28, 1795, in Henry County and our Charles is the only Charles Moore in the area at the time. Charles is listed on the 1830 Rockingham census as a “Free Colored Person” aged 55-100 years, living alone and he then disappears from the record. Since Charles was listed as a free colored person then he would have inherited those characteristics from his parents, he did not get them through his marriage. He probably died sometime between 1830-1833 and John and Sally then moved to Floyd County, Kentucky. If Charles was John’s father, and I think he was, then Charles was probably born about 1735-1740 and he would have been well into his 90’s at the time of his death.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It appears from available records that Charles Moore was the first of these Moores to be a land owner in the Goinstown area. On 30 November 1778, Charles received a land grant from the State of North Carolina for 100 acres on Fish Pot Branch in Surry County (later Stokes) bordering the Guilford County line (later Rockingham County). Fish Pot Branch was described in another land grant as, “Water of Mayo River”. Charles Moore’s chain carriers were George Gibson and James Jackson. In 1781 John Moore and James Moore entered military service from their home in Surry County and returned to their home in Surry after their service. John did not marry until 1784 and there is no document showing that John, James or Andrew Moore owned land until after 1784. John and James, unmarried, were probably living with their father, Charles Moore, when they entered and returned from the Revolutionary War.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">John and Sally’s oldest son, Joel Moore, moved to Russell County, Virginia, in the early 1800’s with James Moore (probably his uncle). Joel and James Moore, and Charles, Thomas, James, David, John, and Reuben Gibson are all living in Russell County, Virginia, by 1802, and included on the Lower District tax list. Joel Moore was about 16 or 17 years old at that time. In 1803 members of the Moore and Gibson families began attending the Stony Creek Baptist Church which was located in Russell county at the time. Joel Moore and John Gibson remained in what would become Scott County, Virginia, while James Moore, Charles Gibson and others moved over to Hawkins County, Tennessee. Joel Moore married Juda Gibson about 1807, probably the daughter of John Gibson and John’s wife, Juda Hogg. The Hogg family were neighbors of the Gibsons back in Caswell County.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">John Moore’s other three sons, Andrew, Obadiah and Edmund, moved to Floyd County, Kentucky about 1816-1818. John, Sally and son, John Moore, Jr. and his family, moved to Floyd County, Kentucky, in the fall of 1833.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Andrew and Obadiah both received land grants on Bull Run in Floyd County and were listed as fpc on the 1820 census. Listed between Andrew and Obadiah as fpc, on the 1820 census, was James Steel. His surname was probably Casteel because Obadiah married Mary Polly Casteel in 1818 in Floyd County. Also in Floyd County in 1820 was Valentine Collins, Zachariah Gibson and Martin Gibson. It appears these Moore, Gibson and Collins families moved into Floyd County at about the same time. Soon afterwards members of the Bunch, Branham, Goodman and Mosley families moved into Floyd County and eastern Kentucky.</div><h6 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #0a0a0a; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Obadiah-Moore-headstone.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #474134; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-91" height="384" src="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Obadiah-Moore-headstone.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; height: auto; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Obadiah Moore headstone" width="288" /></a><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

James Moore may have married a daughter of Charles Gibson. James and Charles Gibson lived next to each other on Newman’s Ridge in Hawkins County. In 1833 James Moore applied for a Revolutionary War pension while living in Hawkins County and Vardy Collins was a witness to the application. Like John Moore, James entered the military in 1781 from Surry County, North Carolina, served under Captain Humphries, was discharged several months later and returned to his home in Surry County. James stated in his 1833 application that he was 70 years old so he was born about 1763. James was probably John’s younger brother.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Andrew Moore may have been, like James, a son of Charles and brother of John. But, it is possible that here were two Andrew Moores related to Charles. In 1778 several of our related families traveled to Wilkes County, North Carolina, to survey land for land grants. Joel Gibson, from Orange and Rockingham Counties, surveyed land on Cranberry Creek of the New River and his chain bearers were John Hall and Joel Moor (I have no other information about this Joel Moor and this survey occurred about eight years prior to the birth of John and Sally’s son, Joel). Joel Gibson’s land was adjacent to William Nall’s land. Abraham Rowland received a land grant and the prior occupants of the land were William Nall and Micajah Bunch. Benjamin Cleveland received a land grant and the prior occupant was also Micajah Bunch. Owen Sizemore received a land grant during this time period. Ambrose, Charles, David and George Collins, David and Mary Gibson, and Micajah and Julius Bunch all owned land in Wilkes County in 1778. Micajah Bunch was living along Cranberry Creek in 1780. Micajah Pennington received a land grant on Elk Creek of the New River and Andrew Moore was a chain carrier. Andrew Moore and Joel Gibson then returned to Goinstown but they and Micajah Pennington and the Collins families are all living in the 10th District of Wilkes County by the time of the 1790 census.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">An Andrew Moore was living in Montgomery County, Virginia, in 1782, along with Ambrose, Lewis, John, George and David Collins. The Moore and Collins families were old friends from back on the Flatt River. Andrew Moore is then listed on the 1782, 1784, 1785 and 1786 Surry County, North Carolina, Tax Lists. In 1786 he is listed in Captain Hickman’s District as is Joel Goodman, John Gibson and several Riddle families. Andrew bought land in Surry County in 1785 and sold it in 1787. The land would have been close to the land received by Charles Moore in 1778 by a land grant. Andrew Moore is then in the 10th Company of Wilkes County, North Carolina, in 1790, living next door to Dorothy Gipson and David and Martin Collins. Andrew had one male and three females in his household. Several other Gibson and Collins families are in Wilkes County at that time as the group was migrating west. An Andrew Moore and George Gibson are living in Lee County, Virginia, in 1803.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Andrew Moore is listed on both the 1782 Montgomery County, Virginia, tax list and the 1782 Surry County, North Carolina, tax list. These two counties were not that far apart so it is possible that the two tax lists are referring to the same Andrew, if the lists were recorded at different times of the years, or, there were two Andrew Moores.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">There is another group of Moores in the Goinstown area that are part of the Moore family. Ephraim Moore and his two sons, Jeremiah and Shadrach, are listed on the 1813 and 1814 Henry County Tax Lists for “Free Negroes and Mulattos”. A Christopher Moore and Hosa Moore are on the 1814 list but I do not know who they are and they disappear from the record. About 1815 Ephraim and his family moved to Cumberland County, Kentucky. On July 18, 1816, Shadrach Moore married Priscilla Bunch in Cumberland County. The Bunch families had been living in Cumberland County for several years prior to the Moores moving there. Priscilla was the daughter of either Julius or Israel Bunch and a granddaughter of Micajah Bunch.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We must stop here and ask a couple of questions. Was it just an historical accident that Shadrach Moore met and married Priscilla Bunch in Cumberland County? Was it just a coincidence? Why did Ephraim and his family move to Cumberland County? None of the other mulatto families moved with him. Did Ephraim move to Cumberland County because the Bunch family had settled there? Was Ephraim’s wife a Bunch who wanted to see her family? We don’t know the answers to those questions but it is reasonable to assume that the Moores knew the Bunch family from Goinstown and the Flatt River. If the two families knew each other then a marriage between a descendant of Micajah Bunch and a descendant of Ephraim Moore makes perfect sense.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ephraim died between 1820 and 1830 and during that time Shadrach Moore, Julius Bunch, Israel Bunch, Clayborn Bunch and James Bunch moved to Greene County, Indiana. They were all listed as ”Free Colored Persons” on the 1830 Federal Census.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Some of Ephraim Moore’s descendants moved south to Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Two of those descendants have completed DNA testing which shows a close match to the descendants of John Moore, Sr. I am a descendant of both John Moore, Jr., and his brother Andrew Moore, due to close family member intermarriage. The DNA test results show that my line and Ephraim Moore’s line are closely related.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">About the same time that Charles Moore and Thomas Gibson moved to the Goinstown area other mulatto families began arriving: Jesse Goins (probably the first Goins to settle in what would become known as Goinstown, moved from the St. James District of Orange County), Randolph Riddle, Micajah Bunch, Joel Gibson, Hezekiah Minor, Benjamin and Malachi Branham and others. Some families stayed and others stayed briefly then moved on.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">At the time of John Moore’s marriage to Sally Goodman there were three Goodman families in the Goinstown area. Charles Goodman is listed on the 1787 Henry County Personal Property Tax, List B. Charles Goodman and his wife Jane Goodman are listed on the 1762 Granville County tax list in Smith’s Creek District and described as mulatto. Charles and Jane were probably living in the same area in 1771 because they are listed on the Franklin-Warren county tax list. They then disappear from that area.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Joseph Goodman is listed on the 1782 Henry Co., Virginia, Personal Property Tax List. He then disappears from the Goinstown area. In 1790, Joseph Goodman received a land grant in Washington Co., North Carolina, now Tennessee. In 1791, in Washington Co., Joseph Goodman deeded land to David Denham. David Denham was born in 1754 in Louisa Co., Virginia, and David entered the Rev. War from Guilford Co., North Carolina. Since David Denham was from Louisa County, the deed suggests a connection between Joseph Goodman and Louisa County. A John Goodman was a neighbor to the families in Louisa. In 1813, in Hawkins County, Tennessee, David Denham filed a court action against Obadiah Goodman which, again, suggests some sort of a relationship between David Denham and the Goodman families.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Joel Goodman is listed on the 1786 Surry Co., census in Capt. Hickman’s District. The census for that District was taken by John Childress, the Magistrate who performed John Moore and Sally Goodman’s marriage. John and Sally named their first born Joel so Joel Goodman may have been Sally’s father, brother or other relative. Joel Goodman then disappears.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In 1839, Elizabeth Goodman, sister of Sally Goodman, and William Moseley were living in Floyd County, Kentucky, and they both gave testimony in support of Sally’s claim for Rev. War Pension benefits due to the death of Sally’s husband, John. In 1839, in Hawkins County, the following deed was executed: Priscilla, Polly and Elizabeth Goodman, all of Floyd County, Kentucky, on one part, and Joseph Goodman or Joseph Jones of Hawkins Co., land on north Side of Clinch Mountain that formerly belonged to Obadiah Goodman, deceased. The deed was signed by Priscilla, Polly and Elizabeth Goodman with Oaths from Pleasant Goodman and Edward Goodman.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">William Moseley gave testimony in support of Sally’s application that he lived in the same neighborhood as the Moores in Rockingham County, North Carolina, and knew the Moores well and knew of the marriage.

Was it just a coincidence? Was it just a coincidence that John Moore met Sally Goodman in, then, Surry County? I think not. The Goinstown area is not on a main road to anywhere, even today it is a relatively remote area. People had a reason for going there. I think all of these families had some sort of a relationship that was formed prior to Goinstown and they came to or through the area because of the other families living in the area.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Charles Moore and his sons, John, James and Andrew, lived in the Goinstown area of Rockingham and Surry Counties, North Carolina. Ephraim Moore, who may be a brother or son of Charles, lived just across the state line in the Goinstown area of Henry County, Virginia. Charles moved to that area about 1777 and he died there between 1830 and 1833. All of Charles’ descendants moved west by 1833 except for William and William’s son, Isaac, and some Moore women who married Gibson and Going men. William Moore married Margaret Peggy Gibson and Stephen Gibson, son of Champ Gibson, married Elizabeth Moore. All were listed as mulatto on the 1850 census. Also in Goinstown, Sally Moor married William Goin in 1851, Adeline Moor married a William Goin in 1852 and Julian Moor married John Going in 1858.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Let’s now take a look at where Charles lived prior to his move to Surry County.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Flatt River in Orange County, North Carolina</strong><br />
About 1749 Thomas Gibson, George Gibson, Charles Gibson, Micager Gibson and several members of the Collins family moved from Louisa County, Virginia, to North Carolina. They, and Micajah Bunch, are all listed as mulattoes on the 1755 Orange County Tax List. Fortunately, many of the early land records for Orange County still exist. George and Thomas Gibson received land grants along the Flatt River and the Collins families lived just downstream on Dials Creek of the Flatt River.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In 1774, Orange County was divided into 16 districts.

They are not listed on the 1777 Caswell County tax list or on the 1779 Orange County tax list so they had moved by then. Charles Moore, as stated above, received a land grand for 100 acres in the north-east corner of Surry County close to the Virginia line. Thomas Gibson moved to Henry County, Virginia, right at the North Carolina line, and began making improvements to the land. Thus, Charles Moore and Thomas Gibson were still neighbors. Thomas Gibson died in 1780 in Henry County and Charles More was a witness to his will. A William More was also a witness to the will and after years of research it is apparent that William was not related to Charles. William was the son of Rodeham Moore of Henry and Patrick Counties, Virginia. William received a land grant on Buffalo Creek in Surry County at about the same time Charles Moore received a land grant and the timing and proximity to Charles has led to much confusion. However, research and DNA has proven that there is no relationship between these two Moore families.<strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Even though Orange County land records are fairly complete, there is no record of Charles Moore buying, selling or transferring land nor is there any other evidence that Charles Moore was a land owner there. We have Orange County land records for George Gibson and Thomas Gibson and will records for George Gibson but, except for being listed as living next to George Gibson in the 15th District, there are no land records for Charles Moore.

My research has failed to establish any link between this Moore and Charles Moore or the Gibsons. Remember, John Moore was born in Orange County in May of 1758, so John’s parents, Charles and wife, had to have been in Orange County by that date and probably much earlier. Charles Moore is listed as a chain carrier twice in 1756 in the Flatt River area. But, I have been unable to find any other Moores in Orange County from its formation up to 1758. I spent about 25 years researching every Moore family from Bertie County to Orange County but was unable to find any link or document establishing a relationship to Charles Moore. So, where did Charles Moore come from and why was he living next door to George and Thomas Gibson?</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps Charles moved to the Flatt River from somewhere else and living next to George and Thomas Gibson was just a coincidence. Maybe, but I don’t think so. When and how did Charles get land next to George and Thomas Gibson without there being a county or state record? Why did Charles and Thomas Gibson move to the Goinstown area together after George Gibson’s death? Why was Charles a witness to Thomas Gibson’s will? On the 1755 Orange County Tax List, Thomas Gibson, a mulatto, had three “Black Polls” in his household. Perhaps Charles Moore was one of them. I have been unable to find sons of Thomas Gibson who would have been 16 years of age in 1755. I am not saying there were none, I’m just saying I can’t identify them. There seems to be some relationship between the Moore and Gibson families other than just being neighbors,.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A common practice for a young married couple was to live close to, if not next to, the husband or wife’s parents.

The bad news is the head of both families was named John, the two John’s were about the same age, the two families lived in the same area near the South Anna River, in the Hudson and Camp Creek area, one John had a wife named Anne and the other John had a daughter named Anne. Also, one of the John Moores had a son named John Jr. We must first try to separate the two families.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The first John, John W. Moore, Sr., was born about 1710 in Ireland. His first wife was Mary Jouett (per US and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900), and his second wife was Martha. He was a County Constable, an Elder in the Anglican Church (the Official Church of England), the Fredericksville Parish Clerk of the Vestry and he was a large land owner. John Moore, Sr., left a will dated 1777 naming his children: Matthew (the eldest, married Letitia Dalton in Albermale Co., and moved to Stokes Co., NC) Susannah, Martha, Ann Hammer, Edward, James, and John Jr. (Louisa Co., Will Book 2, page 244). This John did not have a son named Charles and none of his children moved to Orange County, North Carolina, by 1758. As early as 1722 John was a Reader in the Vestry of St. Paul’s Parish and Clerk of the Chapel at Allen’s Creek in Hanover County. We will refer to this John Moore as John the Anglican.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The other John Moore, the one who may be the father of Charles, left fewer records. I have been unable to find a will. He had a wife named Anne and he was an off and on Quaker.

As families continued moving north west following the James, Pamunkey and other rivers it became difficult to attend the Monthly Meeting (MM) on Cedar Creek. Several local families, the Moormans, Clarks and Johnsons were Quakers and, about 1744, established a Camp Creek Monthly Meeting (MM) on Camp Creek in Louisa County.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Camp Creek is first mentioned in the Cedar Creek Monthly Meeting books in September, 1744, and Charles Moorman and his son, Thomas, were named overseers. The Moormans lived on or near Camp Creek in Louisa. Camp Creek MM was under the care of Cedar Creek and the monthly meetings would rotate between the two locations. Early Camp Creek had no meeting house so the meetings were held at member’s houses or on member’s land. Very often the same event was entered into both the Cedar Creek and Camp Creek records since the church membership for the two locations was the same.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Louisa-map-31.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #474134; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-106" height="307" src="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Louisa-map-31.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; height: auto; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Louisa map 3" width="495" /></a></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Often, for convenience, people would attend or join the Quaker Church when a monthly meeting was established in their neighborhood. They had the choice of worshipping close to home at the Quaker MM or traveling many miles round trip to the next closest church. We do not know if John Moore’s parents were Quakers but we do know that John was a Quaker prior to 12 November 1744, because John was disowned at the first Camp Creek Monthly Meeting. The record does not say why John was disowned and there is no mention of a Moore family in the earlier surviving Cedar Creek records.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">On May 16, 1748, John Moore re-joined the Quakers and he <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">and his family</span> were received into membership at the Camp Creek MM. On that same day, at the same meeting, Samuel Bunch and his family were also received into membership. Anne Moore, John’s wife and Mary Bunch, Samuels wife, served on various church committees together. This is the same Samuel Bunch as in the famous Louisa County Concealing Tithables court case.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In 1753 John was disowned again by the Quakers for getting drunk. A link has not been established but charges were brought in the Louisa County Court against John’s neighbors, George Gibson in 1747 and Gilbert Gibson in 1748, for retailing liquor. In 1769, John Moore, Sr., requested to be taken under the care of Friends, as the Quakers were known. John Davis, Charles Moorman and Richard Blocksom were appointed to make necessary inquiries into John’s life and conversation. John Moore was required to send a letter condemning his former practice for which he was disowned and he was then received as a member (again).</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">After this brief examination of the two John Moores it seems reasonable to exclude John the Anglican as an ancestor of Charles Moore.

Anne and Mary joined the Women’s MM at the same time. In 1769 John Moore requested to be taken under the care of the Quakers and Samuel Bunch agreed to provide help. By 1783 John and family are living on the land of, and being cared for by, Samuel Bunch and family. John died sometime between 1783 and 1787 but did not leave a will. Samuel died in 1783 and left a will naming his wife, Mary, and children. One of his daughters, Ann Bunch, apparently, per Samuel’s will and Quaker records, never married because she is always referred to as Anne Bunch and there is no mention of a marriage or husband.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anne Moore, wife of John, died in 1792 and by will gave her property to her great granddaughter, Theodosia, daughter of Ann Bunch. She did not name any of her other children or grandchildren.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(Theodosia is a very uncommon name. On July 11, 1801, John Johnson married Theodosia Gibson in Louisa County. Sarah Gibson gave consent for Theodosia to marry so she was not of age to marry without parent consent. There were two women named Theodosia in the Moore, Gibson, Bunch circle in Louisa County during the time in question.)</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It appears Samuel Bunch married Mary Moore, daughter of John and Anne, that Samuel and Mary had a daughter named Ann, probably named for her grandmother, and Ann had a daughter, Theodosia, who inherited Ann Moore’s meager estate. This relationship helps explain why John Moore and family and Samuel Bunch and family joined the Quakers at the same time. It may also explain why John was disowned by the Quakers in November of 1744. A Quaker who agreed to or helped in any way with the marriage of a child to a non-Quaker was disowned. Samuel Bunch was not a Quaker until May of 1748 when he and his family became members. Samuel may have married Mary Moore sometime prior to November of 1744, started a family, then joined the Quakers with John and his family in May 1748.</div><div id="mainTitle" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(Note: Several Bunch researchers state that Samuel Bunch married Mary Hudson. I have been unable to find a cite or reason for this claim because the researchers cite each other as the source. U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, on Ancestry.com, lists Samuel’s wife as, Mary ???. Samuel’s marriage probably occurred in Hanover County and those records were destroyed. I do not have a cite either, but, I attempt to give reasons for my suggestion that Samuel married Mary Moore.)</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It also explains why Ann Moore and her daughter, Mary Bunch, joined the Women’s MM at the same time. It explains why John and Ann Moore were living on the land of Samuel Bunch in their old age. It explains why Samuel was caring for John and Ann in their old age. It explains why Theodosia, daughter of Ann Bunch, was caring for Ann Moore in her old age after John and Samuel died.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It also means that Samuel Bunch, in the 1745 Louisa County concealed tithables case, had concealed and refused to pay tax on his wife, Mary Moore Bunch, if the concealed tithable was a wife.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Did John Moore the Quaker and his family have connections to other mulatto families in Louisa? Let’s first turn our attention to the 1763 Louisa County Court case of Francis Branham vs. Sarah Gibson (there are inconsistent dates in the county record). The Plaintiff in this case, Francis Branham, is the daughter of Gilbert and Sarah Gibson and the wife of Benjamin Branham (also of the 1745 Louisa County concealed tithables case). The Defendant, Sarah Gibson, is the Plaintiff’s mother and wife of Gilbert Gibson. This is a court action between mother, Sarah Gibson, and daughter, Frances Gilbert Branham, and the main witness was Ann Moore.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Francis Branham sued her mother, Sarah Gibson, for personal property the mother would not give her. Gilbert Gibson’s mother had been living with Gilbert and Sarah and, apparently, prior to their deaths, Gilbert Gibson and his mother gave Francis certain property but after their deaths, Gilbert’s wife, Sarah, would not release the property to her daughter, Francis.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ann Moore gave a sworn statement that Francis Branham’s grandmother, Gilbert Gibson’s mother, lived with Francis in Gilbert’s house and the grandmother had come to Ann and told Ann that Gilbert had turned her (his mother) out of the house because she (his mother) would not give Gilbert a Negro wench that she had for her maintenance. The grandmother also told Ann that she had given Francis her bed. Ann made the following statement about the bed:</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“that it was a very good bed with good covering and that she was well acquainted with the family and that the plaintiffs further could if ? his for several years.” (could have been used for several years?)</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Again, we must stop and ask, “what is happening here”? Why was Ann Moore used as a witness in this case? Why did Gilbert Gibson’s mother go to Ann Moore and confide personal family information, especially information about her son throwing her out of his house? It seems apparent that the Branham vs. Gibson case is just a family fight and Ann Moore is more than just an acquaintance or neighbor. Gilbert Gibson died sometime before July 1763, and his mother had probably died before this court action or she could have been a witness. From her testimony we can infer that Ann Moore was very well acquainted with Gilbert Gibson and his wife Sarah Branham, she knew Gilbert’s mother and she knew Gilbert’s children. We can also infer that Ann had visited the Gilbert Gibson home on several occasions and had been in the home enough to became familiar with their bedding,<em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></em></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“the said Moore swears that it was a very good bed with good covering and that she was well acquainted with the family and that the plaintiffs further could if ? his for several years”</em>.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ann Moore knows quite a bit about the Gibson family and may be related, in some way, to the family.

He fathered the two children with Mary Moor and, apparently, they never married and she retained the Moor name as did the children. I have no other information about this Mary Moor but we do know, according to a 1829 Louisa County Deed, issued by Nancy and William Moore, that William moved to Todd County, Kentucky, prior to 1829, and he is listed on various records including the census in Todd County.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Todd County had a large community of former Louisa County residents.

David Moore and Garland Moore were witnesses to George Gibson’s Revolutionary War Pension Application. George fought in the war from Louisa County.

Given his age in 1850 he may have died by 1860. In 1840 there is a Hezekiah Moore listed on the Augusta County, Virginia, census with one white male, 5-10 years, one white male, 50-60 years and one white female, under 5. It appears that the 1840 Augusta Hezekiah, like the 1850 Louisa Hezekiah, does not have a living wife. The 1840 Augusta County, Hezekiah is 50-60 years of age and the 1850 Louisa Hezekiah is 70 years old. He is not on the 1830 or 1850 Augusta census. It appears this is the same Hezekiah Moore.<br />

</strong>We have been considering Louisa County as the place where the Moore family lived prior to moving to Orange County. North Carolina. There are four significant factors to consider which existed in Louisa County during the 1700s and early 1800s that are not found together in any other area during that time:</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1) Moores with a close relationship to the Gibson, Branham and Bunch families;</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2) Moores listed as fpc/mulatto: Ann Moore and family and Hezekiah Moore and family;</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3) Moores living close to other mulatto families: Gibson, Bunch, Branham, Collins, Goin, Donathan, Goodman;</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4) Moores who migrated out of Louisa County with other mulatto families.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">As previously stated I have found no records for Charles Moore in Louisa County. We know Thomas, George, Charles and Mager (Micajah) Gibson and families moved from Louisa County to North Carolina and are listed on the 1755 Orange County Tax List.

We don’t know where they lived prior to 1720 because there are few surviving records for eastern Virginia and it is difficult to make a connection.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Many of the Flatt River, Goinstown, New River, Scott County, Hawkins County, Floyd County, Cumberland County and Todd County mulatto families migrated together, intermarried and maintained relationships over the years. That pattern was present in Louisa County in the 1700’s. Almost two centuries later a descendant of the Louisa County Gibsons, John D. Gibson, was buried in the Moore family cemetery in Knott County, Kentucky.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I urge anyone who has information to help prove or disprove anything I have written to contact me.

George Moore, son of John Moore, Jr., his son Jefferson Coon Moore and John “Dee” Gipson are buried in the Triplett Cemetery, Jones’ Fork, Knott County, near Mousie, Kentucky. This older cemetery is about one mile up the hill from the Moore family cemetery pictured above. George Moore’s wife was Susannah Triplett. Dee Gipson was Vinie Gibson’s husband and his family moved to Kentucky from Tennessee. His marker reads:<br />

Myron and other descendants of John Moore, Jr., and Camm Moore have and continue to do great research on the Moore family.

John Jr., converted because he wanted to marry Elizabeth Sanders, a birthright Quaker, daughter of John Sanders. If John Jr., was the son of John the Quaker then he would have been a Quaker and no conversion would have been needed. John the Quaker was a Quaker prior to being dismissed in 1744 so John Jr., would have been a birthright Quaker or a Quaker by May 1748 when John Moore and <strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">family</strong> were received in membership.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3) John Moore, Sr., the Anglican, had a son named John who he mentioned in his will.

In 1778, Camm Moore, the son of John Moore, Jr., received permission from the Quakers to transfer from Louisa County to New Garden MM, in Guilford, North Carolina, because he was a birthright Quaker. It appears that Camm remained in Louisa County with one of his his grandfathers, John Moore, Sr., or John Sanders, and then moved to North Carolina shortly after John Sr.’s death with members of the Sanders family.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5) There is nothing in the Quaker records to suggest that John Moore, Jr., was the son of John Moore the Quaker.

The group apparently had recognizable characteristics and those markers were passed down through the generations by intermarriage within the group. A few of the most commonly reported characteristics of the group are, very dark skin, strait black hair and, in some people, blue eyes. But, where did those markers originate and how did the group first acquire those characteristics?</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Since the Moore family was part of the larger group from an early date, and since there has been intermarriage within the group starting in the mid to late 1600s, I will use them in an attempt to answer the questions. Let me begin with some Moore family oral history which may relate to the questions.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Even as a young boy in eastern Kentucky I was interested in my family history and I always wanted to know where we came from.

But, he did not know when or where the marriages took place or who did the marrying. He had no idea where the Moore family lived prior to coming to the Americas. It appears that my Moore family arrived in North America in the 1600s and they probably landed in Virginia. Other than that I know very little.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Y-DNA shows the Moores are haplogroup R1b (R-312). Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup group in Western Europe but it appears in various amounts in other areas. The Family Tree DNA report for the Moores does little to pin point the area of origination. I have just two Y-DNA matches, both of them are Moore, and both probably descended from Ephraim Moore who moved from Goinstown to Cumberland County, Kentucky, about 1815. Other than that I have no Y-DNA matches. In the Recent Ancestral Origins section I have a few -1 step mutation matches at 12 markers, but no matches at 25, 37 or 67 markers. The most interesting of the few 12 marker matches is three from Spain, with two of those from the Canary Islands. I also have two exact haplogroup matches but of unknown origin. Overall, none of the matches are significant enough to say the Moores came to America from any specific country. There appears to be something odd about the Moore DNA because of the almost complete lack of matches.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">My grandfather was correct about North Carolina, the Moores moved to Floyd County, Kentucky, from the Goinstown area of North Carolina. But, did the Moores marry Indians? If they did, it could be one factor in the “melungeon” designation.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Records become scarce as we go back in time and I have not found a single marriage record for the Moore family prior to their move to Kentucky. There are no North Carolina or Virginia marriage records that I have been able to associate with my Moore family. If the Moores did marry Indians then it probably occurred in Virginia prior to their move to Louisa County. It appears that much of the group, which will later be call “melungeons”, had already been established by the time they moved to Louisa County. They lived in the same area of Louisa, just south of the South Anna River, and they migrated south and west together. But, where were those relationships formed? Where did they live prior to Louisa County?</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The general rule for migration, in the absence of an established road to the destination, was to “follow the river”. All of the related families in Louisa lived close to the South Anna River. The North and South Anna Rivers merge to form the Pamunkey River in Hanover County and, farther downstream, the Pamunkey and Mattaponi Rivers merge to form the York River. The area between the Pamunkey and Mattaponi Rivers is known as Pamunkey Neck and was part of the homeland of the Pamunkey Indians. The York River flows into Chesapeake Bay just north of the James River. Chesapeake Bay opens into the Atlantic Ocean.</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_126" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #706752; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 550px;"><a href="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/James-River-WP.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #474134; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Modified Wikipedia Figure 1 -"Follow the River" from Chesapeake Bay to Louisa County" class="size-full wp-image-126 " height="425" src="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/James-River-WP.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #f1f1f1; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; height: auto; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="James-River-WP" width="540" /></a><br />

If more than one member of our group married an Indian during this time then the Indian spouses would share language, customs and culture with each other.</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_129" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #706752; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 550px;"><a href="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Powhattan-WP.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #474134; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Modified Wikipedia Figure 3 - Tribes of the Powhatan Confederacy" class="size-full wp-image-129 " height="392" src="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Powhattan-WP.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #f1f1f1; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; height: auto; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Powhattan-WP" width="540" /></a><br />

Our Population Finder results of the Family Finder analysis showed no matches with peoples of the American continents or with any Amerindian group. So, it appeared that my family oral history was wrong and that those characteristics that made the Moore family, “mulatto”, “Other Free Persons”, and “melungeon” did not come from being part Indian.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">However, after re-reading information provided by FTDNA, I found that Population Finder can only detect genetic ancestry if the amount is 3% or more, or 5 to 6 generations, if there has been little or no admixture with other continental groups. For the Moore and other “melungeon” families there was a lot of admixture so Family Finder may only be able to detect Indian ancestry within the last 3-4 generations. FTDNA states the following:</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Population Finder tool can detect small traces of genetic ancestry as low as 3% (about 5 to 6 generations) from a distinct Continental group.

The Tribes report identifies significant ancestral contributions to the genome from seven continental zones and the report showed my Mom has genetic contributions from three of the seven zones and one of them was, “Native American”, at 1%. Even though 1% is a small amount, it was significant enough for Tribes to list it as one of the three contributors to her DNA. The 1% is substantially higher than the one-tenth of one percent as projected above. The higher percentage may be explained by the continuous intermarriage within the group and as such, the percentage seems to be about right.</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_130" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #706752; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 550px;"><a href="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Continental-Zones-WP.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #474134; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Figure 4 - Continental Zones used in DNA analysis" class="size-full wp-image-130 " height="237" src="http://www.other-free.com/blogspot/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Continental-Zones-WP.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #f1f1f1; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; height: auto; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Continental-Zones-WP" width="540" /></a><br />

By comparing my results with my Mom’s and with the results from other testers, I am relatively certain that I received my Indian DNA from my Mother. But, how do we know that my Mom got her Indian DNA from her father, Alexander Moore? My Mom received 50% of her DNA from her father (Moore) and 50% from her mother. My grandfather Moore received 50% of his DNA from his father (Moore) and 50% from his mother and she was 50% Moore (intermarriage within the family) and 50% Mosley. The Mosley family was also mulatto and they were neighbors of the Moores in Goinstown before moving to Tennessee. They then moved to Floyd County with members of the Goodman family.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We will probably never know for sure but I have researched all lines back several generations and the Moore line is the only line with an oral history of Indian ancestry and there are numerous records which indicate Indian and/or other non-European ancestry.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Other that Native American, are there any other populations, other that European, who have contributed significant amounts of DNA to the Moore family and possibly to the “melungeon” group?

Marriages, or bearing children out of wedlock between the three groups, probably began between 1630 and 1700 along the eastern coastal area of Virginia. This group quickly developed recognizable features, characteristics and customs as their children married each other.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Africans and Europeans would have been recent arrivals to North America in the 1600s. They would have to learn new skills and adapt to a new environment if they were to prosper and survive in this new country, especially since the group tended to live in remote areas, on the frontier, and away from towns. They may have learned those new skills and new ways from the Indian women.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If the Africans and Europeans married Indians, and I think they did, and if the marriages (or civil unions) occurred in eastern Virginia, and I think they did, then the Indian spouses (usually wives) would share at least a common language and, possibly, be members of the same tribe and family. The Indian wives shared a common culture and the group may have adopted parts of that culture. The group probably learned and adopted many “Indian ways”. The Indian wives, the women, may have been one of the major reasons for the development of the group and group identity. The families may have lived close to each other in Virginia because of the close relationship between the Indian wives.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Indian language and culture was probably passed down for several generations as the group began migrating west. On the way west some group members split off while other families joined the group. One of the earliest groups to split off was Gideon, John and Hubbard Gibson, and the Paul Bunch family. About 1717-1720 they moved from, probably James City County, Virginia, to Chowan, later Bertie County, North Carolina, then on to South Carolina. I say “probably James City County” because Gideon and John were summoned to appear in court in Edenton, James City County, in 1730 and 1731 regarding money owed to the estate of Francis Lightfoot.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The larger group migrated west and a couple of centuries later the “melungeons” of Hancock County were discovered.<br />

When a large group of our Melungeon Progenitors left The Pamunkey River area of Louisa and Hanover County, Virginia they migrated to the Flat River which at that time was Granville County, North Carolina. This research is about the Flat River area and the people who lived here and the ones who stayed. Person County, North Carolina is bounded on the north by Virginia, on the south by Durham and Orange counties, on the west by Caswell, and on the east by Granville. My wife and I visited the Flat River area in Person County, North Carolina in 1997 and took the pictures that are in my books of the Flat River and the Flat River Primitive Baptist Church established in 1750. This area in Person County was then Granville County, became Orange in 1752. This was the location of the Melungeon Progenitors after selling their land in Louisa County, Virginia they migrated to this area and lived here for at least 17 years (1749-1767), they were sometimes enumerated as mulatto on land records and also on a 1755 tax list.<br /><br />In this area there is a tribe of Indians and I wrote about them in the first chapter of my book, Melungeons Footprints From the Past. In the Person County Indian Group, a school census taken in November 1936, listed 346 persons in the community representing 76 families and the families averaged 6 to 8 children. (2-May 1937 Louise V. Nunn-A comparison of the social situation of two Isolated Indian Groups in Northern North Carolina. Submitted in partial requirements for a degree of Master of Arts, Columbia University, New York, New York-.80 pages.)<br /><br />Who were the 76 families of Person County Indians and who are they today ?<br />Newspaper Article - 1948 THE INDIANS OF PERSON COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA, HISTORY OF A PROUD AND HANDSOME TRIBE OF INDIANS NEAR ROXBORO MAY BE CONNECTED WITH LOST COLONY MYSTERY; ABOUT 70 FAMILIES LIVE IN EXTENDED FARMING COMMUNITY<br /><br />By Tom MacCaughelty<br />Durham Morning Herald, March 21, 1948<br /><br />“As Indians, they never have been positively identified. Can they be, as their tradition holds, the long sought descendants of the friendly Indians who received the colonists of John White? Strangely enough, among the approximately 350 people in the scattered farming community, only six family names are represented: Johnson, Martin, Coleman, Epps, Stewart (also spelled Stuart), and Shepherd. Stranger still, three of these names correspond closely with those among the list of Lost Colonists: Johnson, Coleman, and Martyn. But theirs are common English names long familiar in North Carolina, and intermarriage with the proximity to whites would be expected to extend such names among them. (A seventh prominent name among this group is Tally.) As far back as anyone knows, these people have displayed the manners and customs of white settlers, but in this they don't differ from identified Indians.”<br /><br /><em>29 March 2003 – Courier-Times<br /><br /></em><strong>State House OKs request from<br />Indians of Person County to change official name to ‘Sappony’ </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>The Indians of Person County has been recognized under North Carolina law as the "Sappony" tribe. after the House passed a bill effecting a formal name change for the Indians of Person County, who have been officially known by that name for the past 90 years.<br /><br />Caswell County was formed from the Northern part of Orange County, North Carolina in 1777 it included part of the Flat River, it was bounded on the North by Pittsylvania & Halifax Counties, Virginia. From looking at land and tax records John Collins on the Rocky Branch was still there.<br /><br />1777 list Paul Collins 1 Martin Collins 1 Middleston Collins 1, Obadiah Collins 1, John Collins 1<br /><br />Most of the Flat River Collins began migrated to the New River area in 1767, both John Collins Sr. & Jr. were on the 1771 tax list of Fincastle County, Virginia.<br /><br />Person County was formed from Caswell County in 1791 and the Flat River was in the new county. I didn’t find any Collins on the 1800 census of Person County but did find an old Thomas Gibson, Edward Goin a family of 4 free colored, Enoch? Goin 7 free colored, Allen Goan 7 free colored. Johnson is the most popular surname on the census and is also a name among the Person County Indians.<br /><br /><strong>A Startling Discovery<br /></strong><br />I received some valuable information from Sappony tribesman Stuart who told me there was a Rolen Collins who hung out with the Person County Indians at Woodsdale, late 1800s. Stuart also told me several from their group migrated to Hawkins County, Tennessee, including his great grandfather Thomas Stewart who married Eliza Epps daughter of Peter Epps, others in this group with the Stewarts were Johnson,Shepherds, Epps and Martin. He also told me many from this group are buried in the Jaynes/Shepherd Cemetery near Rogersville. I found it listed in our cemetery books at the archive. It is located off Hwy 66 on the Webb Road in the Choptack Community near Rogersville, Tennessee. I found the cemetery and took this picture Tuesday September 7, 2010.<br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568507655347786146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrDHMjZAoj2Hh8s-A9JJsB5FXOT9R8JLVwHk3NW3NL-0tnUJ0smdljFvYHQi6j6zf3RCdSCV3QyVBdJxIlDfKVVcSKqyeXlHX6nmFZLNjLNCAWtMcl2_Fvk2Z9PQ3UZsGTC_BderrG3DtJ/s400/High+Plians+Cemetary+Person+County+NC.JPG" /><br />Thirty nine people are buried here, five in unmarked graves. 5 Shephard, 7 Stuart, 3 Martin. They migrated to Hawkins County area in 1800s, their headstones are their witness that they died in Hawkins County: John H. Stuart b 7 April 1865, died 11 June 1898; Eliza R. Stuart born 16 March 1826, died 21 May 1893.<br /><br />In my conversation with the caretaker of this cemetery, a Martin, was not aware of the Indian connection, but he did tell me years ago when the cemetery began, the land was owned by a Shephard family. I need to find someone in this area who knows about their ancient Person County Indian Ancestors.<br /><a href="http://www.ncperson.org/high_plains.htm#web_site">http://www.ncperson.org/high_plains.htm#web_site</a><br /><br />Like their website reads the Person County Indians now Sappony have never been positively identified. And their school was equally financed by Virginia and North Carolina. The first school was built on Green Martins land in 1888 and the cemetery in Hawkins County is run by a Martin 122 years later. I don’t find a connection or association between this mysterious group and the Melungeons except for the fact they lived on the same land around the Flat River in 1750. Maybe the answer to some of this will come from the Hawkins County descendants as this research continues.<br /><br />Jack Goins</div>Tracy Hudginshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10502298023195214555noreply@blogger.com9
