ALSO NO WOMAN would have her DOUGH BOWL that held the FLOUR for making the biscuits repairs with TIN and NAILS.... her fingers would sliced. NO REPAIRS of tin or iron pieces should be on the INSIDE or OUTSIDE. ALL WITH SUCH REPAIRS are FAKE and are treated with ACIDS etc to look OLD. THEY ARE FAKED in EUROPE.

Often Melungeon was turned into " Cherokee" by people from the area to hid their African American ancestry. My DNA doesn't lie: It regularly comes back 1 to 2 % black; so does the DNA test of my sister, my nieces and my nephews. There is now a rebirth of interest and pride in Melungeon ancestry. Evans is always listed as a common Melungeon name from Western North Carolina, where my grandmother's Evans family were living. A phony " deported from Wales" story and claims of Cherokee ancestors ( to explain my grandmother 's coarse black hair and brown skin ) was passed down about my ancestor Uriah Evans. He was born about 1840, much too late for deportation to America. Then via DNA testing, we proved his PARENTS and GRANDPARENTS were in North Carolina, so the "deportation " story ( told to conceal Melungeon ancestry, a very common practice) fell apart.

Williamson Hawkins held title to 3,000 acres of land, not 2,000. He was also the largest slave owner in Jefferson County Alabama. His son in law Alfred Hamilton Roebuck was also in the top 10.

Being a good Presbyterian publication, the paper she wrote them for originally refused to print her pieces because they were by a lady. Also being a good Presbyterian, Miss Weeden then used the name of one of her favorite white paint colors, "Flake White", and began to submit pieces under that name which were then printed by the unasiming editor.
