Comments: Great site! Although I am connected to Brent Kennedy through our mutual ancestor Solomon Mullins, I am not convinced we have Melungeon lines. My grandpa told me we were of Melungeon descent but I and my siblings have very few of the characteristics. St ll I will continue to research to see if we are of Melungeon descent.

Comments: thanks to professor kennedy's book, virginia's eugenics program of the 1930's has come to greater attention. nevertheless, this kind of racial thinking is as strong today as ever before. The Pioneer Fund, a organiztion founded in the 30's and committed o eugenics and white supremacy, has sponsored a number of popular and "scientific" works. and the authors? they are not rural neo.nazis or klansmen, but academics at respected universities. feel free to compare recent works such as Why Race Matters and Race, Evolution and Behavior with edward reuter's Race Mixture (1931).

Comments: I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder (Behcet's Disease) which is more commonly found in peoples of Mediterranean decent. I have been doing some geneology research to determine where this link might be. I found no indication on my father's l ne. However, my maternal grandmother was Lula Mae Collier McPherson. She was born in Kentucky to John and Martha Collier. They later moved to Springfield, OH. When I would query my grandmother about her 'roots' and ask where her people came from, she ould always say, "We were always there." I thought that was peculiar then but never pursued it.

Comments: THANKS for your Page! I have been looking for my GrGrGr Grandmother Jane Lee (abt 1790 or 1800) for about 15 years. This Page may put me on a new road. I have Jesse Stuart's "Daughter of the Legend" (I Love It!!), several things by Bonnie Ball and othe s. I was hoping she was a Melungeon, but finally had to give up. Jane Lee has a daughter Margaret "Peggie" Lee, "Peggie" had a daughter Matilda, my Grandfather James Harvey "Bud" Lee's Mother. These women are always listed as "Lee" and there is NEVER a man listed in the household. Very Strange! But at least it allows you to find them! Jane Lee is from my Father's side, but I find her daughter Margaret "Peggie" and "Peggies" daughter Mary living in a household on my Mothers side, (ESTEP) in 1860, Jame Estep and Lucretia Fuller. I have no idea if they were just workers, indentured servents, or slaves. Thank You and Regards, Clinton Lee

Comments: William and Mary Collins lived in Wise Co., and Montgomery Co., KY. They then moved to Missouri. At one time, William lived at Stony Creek in Wise Co. It was said that my grandmother was at Ft. Sumptner when it was fired on. I wonder if that has any significance. I have some Fox genealogy, as well as Collins family history. I'm hoping someone has Wi liam Collins info.

Comments: My Martins lived at Riner, Montgomery Co VA. The family legend is that they were part Cherokee, but wouldn't enrol because they were afraid of being removed. I don't know if they were Melungeons, but I recognize some of the physical characteristics, super titions and culture...Were the superstitions in common with non-Indians? Hoping to find clues to lead me to better answers.

Comments: I have been convinced for years that my first born father was not a full bloodied sibling of his brothers. He was dark, especially in the summer, brown eyed and black hair. His brothers were light complected and blue eyed. I have now found cousins of his, that we never knew, that are also dark. I have also found out about Meludgeons. Thank you, it explains a lot of questions I have had all these years.
