The Jackson Whites are not lore, they are real. They are running around on their ATV’s up on Stag Hill as we speak. Now they like to pretend they are an Indian tribe, for the possible casino in the future, but they are real live hillbillies that exist 20 miles from Times Square. They were in the news a few years back when they sued Hollywood for the movie “Into The Furnace”. They did not like how they were portrayed by Woody Harelson, they also somewhat forgot about the First Amendment in the process.
I know they exist but there is lore surrounding them
I knew one when I lived in upper Nyack
Down south he’d be redbone or high mulatto
But some are pretty white looking
They claim to be Hessian and Indian ....and escaped Yankee property slaves mixed
I have a friend in Suffern..he’s sort of an authority on them or thinks he is
