If you’ve ever met any Melungeon people, from way back in the hills of SW Virginia, NE Tennessee and the extreme NW corner of North Carolina, they’ll tell you the same thing. There are a few “mystery” people who turned up in James Cittie (Jamestown), too.

James Kennedy wrote a fascinating history of the “Shipmate / accursed soul” people.

I am fascinated by the Melungeons. I wish I knew more. My paternal grandfather's family came from that part of the country, central Tennessee. He was sort of a strange looking man, dark hair, light eyes, tall and thin. He died at about 90+ and only had a couple of gray hairs in his head. I have always wondered if he was one of them but he died in about 1959 and I had never heard of Melungeons until a few years ago.
