I will tell how it was in Missouri The state of Missouri said indians could not own land and indians could not stay in the state==so the indians changed their names==called them selfs black dutch or dark French or black Irishor maybe hill billies now there was no lndians in the state maybe that was the way it was in Kentucky== SHADOW BEAR

I have heard it both ways SB. Some claim that Native Americans did not call themselves blackdutch or black irish or anything else. Others claim the opposite. It is rather confusing.

Also, I have a record stating that an ancestor of mine was "black dutch" from the continent of Europe. I guess maybe it is possible that those groups were indeed "black dutch" or "black Irish" and not Native American.
