@grl8r Actually...The melungeons was started by Vardy Collins and Shep Gibson....they was NOT listed as blacks...they was listed as Indians....and if you check ANY historical documents on newman's ridge and the melungeons....you would have known this....OTHER families was called blacks...but NOT the founding 2 families of the melungeons. GRl8r...I would defiently welcome a battle of historical knowledge with on on this subject anytime.

@CrazyNative4 she was probably a Mexican girl

This is BS. The so called "melungeons" were free negroes from Louisa County, Virginia that married into white and native american families. They moved to the hills of Appalachia were they would not be discriminated against and rather then call themselves mulatto they call themselves the mysterious and exotic "melungeon". end of story. no mystery.

Goin, Goings, Goins are classic Melungeon names. And every Goins I've ever known has been a real character.
