    1. [BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA] BLACK DUTCH SEARCH RESULTS "THE TRAIL OF TEARS" WEBSITE
    2. A paragraph from website: http://www.peaknet.net/~aardvark/thetrail.html Those of us who evaded the rolls were accepted by neither the whites nor the "papered" Indians. Still others claimed to be "Black Dutch," Spanish, Creole, or Black. (My own granfather later lied to the census taker, saying he was one sixty-fourth. At that degree, he could still live and own land on the reservation. He was "enrolled" at that number. Granny claimed to be Black Dutch). Many others fled to Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana, even into the swamps of the Okeefenokee.
