What separated the Melungeon peoples however, is that the word "Melungeon is of French origin, and is 1st person plural, present tense french meaning "We mix". And there were plenty of French Huguenots living in the area, living in the area, and we have documents mentioning 2 Hugeunots who were in close contact with the Saponi Indians, one a minister of the Gospel who preached at Fort Christanna where the Saponi were and the other who was mixe-blood -- part Catawba and part French Huguenot, who lived among the Melungeons. And the word Malungeon is the EXACT French word, not just "sorta close". And these Huguenot encounters with the Saponi HAPPENED. Others say well, this or that "might have happened". What separated the Melungeons from other mixed race people is the Saponi/Catawba component, and proof of genealogical records that do go back to Fort Christanna's Saponi Indian families. That's why they are called TRI-racial isolates.<br />Vance Hawkins' Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107621877990690135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356982852561903188.post-78830003510911130062016-09-10T18:40:17.878-07:002016-09-10T18:40:17.878-07:00I deleted my first comment because I didn't wa...I deleted my first comment because I didn't want to put that info out there, but there was a lot more African intermixture than has been let on.
