Hi Everybody! Some of you on this list may be interested in learning more about a fascinating group of people called Melungeons, especially if your family comes from northeast TN, southeast KY, northwest NC or southwest VA. If you have any questions about the article below, please write to me directly at [email protected] Also visit the Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc. at: http://pluto.clinch.edu/appalachia/melungeon/ Thanks! -Kay ****** Recent books and documentaries on Appalachia's mysterious Melungeons have led many people to search for their Melungeon roots. A genealogy workshop at Berea College may provide help for those who are seeking information about their families and possible Melungeon connections. "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" will be held on the Berea College campus on Saturday, June 26. This event will feature sessions on beginning, intermediate, and Internet genealogy, as well as specific sessions to explore Native American and African-American connections. There will also be chat sessions for various family groups, a showing of a documentary film about the Melungeons, and a panel discussion featuring Brent Kennedy, Manuel Mira, and others.. The Melungeons are a multi-racial and multi-ethnic people who were first documented in the Appalachian mountains at the end of the 18th century. Since that time, they have become a part of Appalachian folklore - "sons and daughters of the legend." Prior to the Civil War, some were classified as "free persons of color." More recently, they have been identified by anthropologists and sociologists as "tri-racial isolates" - an amalgam of European, Native American, and African-American ancestry. They faced discrimination, both legal and social, and tended to settle in isolated communities such as Newman's Ridge in Hancock County, Tennessee, or Stone Mountain, Virginia. Over the years, Melungeons kept to themselves -- or moved to other areas where their heritage was not suspect. Oral history among Melungeon families was often not shared with succeeding generations. "Melungeon" had become an epithet, even if no one knew where the word originated. Jean Patterson Bible wrote in 1975 that generations of intermarriage has resulted in near racial dissolution: "They'll be gone in a generation or two, except for an occasional dark-complected [sic] child as a reminder of the past." Instead, many Melungeon descendants are coming to recognize and embrace the diverse heritage that is theirs. They've been encouraged and inspired by Dr. N. Brent Kennedy, author of the 1994 book The Melungeons: The Resurrection of A Proud People; An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America. Kennedy, in researching his own family background, concludes that the Melungeons were descended from groups of Spaniards, Portuguese, Turks, Berbers, Moors, Jews, and others who arrived on these shores between the arrival of Columbus and the establishment of Jamestown. Generations of intermarriage with Europeans, Native Americans, and African-Americans resulted in the people now known as Melungeons. Participants may pre-register before June 1, for "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" by sending a check or money order to: Melungeon Roots, P.O. Box 4042, Wise, VA 24293. Admission to the event is $5 for each pre-registered participant (before June 1), and $10 for those who register after June 1 and for on-site registrants. On-site registration begins Friday, June 25, at 7:00 pm at the Alumni Building on the Berea campus. The Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc. will hold a mixer on Friday night at the Alumni Building from 7 to 9 pm. Workshops will begin on Saturday morning at 9:00 am at Phelps-Stokes Hall, with welcoming remarks by Audie Kennedy, president of the Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc., and Gordon McKinney of the Berea College Appalachian Center. Workshops will be held in the Frost Building and Phelps Stokes chapel. Chat groups will be running all day at various locations on campus. Throughout the day, "Melungeon Roots" will feature "how-to" genealogy sessions as well as sessions on Native American, African-American, and Portuguese-American genealogy. A panel discussion with a question-and-answer session will close the workshop. "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" is sponsored by the Appalachian Center at Berea College, continuing the college's long tradition of commitment to Appalachia and to diversity. The event is organized by the Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc. (MHA), a non-profit organization formed in 1998. MHA was an outgrowth of the highly successful First Union: A Melungeon Gathering held in Wise in 1997. In 1998, MHA sponsored Second Union, an even larger gathering which featured sessions and lectures on history, social issues, and medical issues, as well as genealogy. The gatherings are only a part of the work of MHA. The organization is also dedicated to several other tasks, including continued research and writing, telling the story of the Melungeon people, and contributing to the mosaic of a past that has been hidden too long. At the same time, MHA plans to collect and preserve the research and artifacts of the past, forming the basis of a Melungeon Research Center to give these materials a permanent home. MHA's mission is to document and preserve the heritage and cultural legacy of mixed- ancestry people of the Southern Appalachians. While the focus will be on those of Melungeon heritage, they do not restrict themselves to honoring only this group, but believe in the dignity of all such mixed ancestry groups. MHA is committed to preserving this rich heritage of racial diversity and harmony. MHA plans to hold Third Union in the summer of 2000. In the meantime, "Melungeon Roots" is the first of several planned smaller events which will focus on individual aspects of Melungeon heritage. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: MELUNGEON ROOTS "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" will be held on the Berea College campus in Berea, Kentucky, on Saturday, June 26. This event will feature sessions on beginning, intermediate, and Internet genealogy, as well as specific sessions on other aspects of Melungeon genealogy. To register, send five dollars per registrant to Melungeon Roots, P.O. Box 4042, Wise, VA 24293.

Hi, Myrna. Saw your query on the list mailing. I have some Clark Co. marriage records, etc., and have the following information regarding this James Patton who married a Elizabeth Dinwiddie. According to the marriage records, he did marry this Elizabeth Dinwiddie but not in VA - in Clark Co., KY. They have the wrong marriage date, though. His will was probated in October of 1823, as follows: shows wife as Elizabeth (James evidently was married only once), sons Mathew and John, and daughter Polly Patton Halley (husband Henry Halley (or Holley), married May 8, 1806, Clark Co., KY), Other heirs:l. Polly Patton, daughter of Deceased son Mathew, 2. Children of his son John: James, Elizabeth, Sarah Ann, Richard, John William, Polly, Nancy, and Mathew T. 3. Children of his daughter Polly Patton Halley: James P, Richard S, Elizabeth, Sibel, Polly, Matthew, John & George. Here are other Patton marriages for Clark Co, KY: John Patton m. Louvin Ann Foxworthy on Feb l4, l828 John Patton married Sibbea Halley on December 20, l805 (or Sibel). Probate record for him shows probate date as June 20, 1823, wife Sibel, children: James H., Elizabeth, Sarah Ann, Richard H., John W., Nackey D., Mathew Thomson. Robert Patton married Nancy Black on Feb 20, 1806 William Patton married Anne Harrison on Dec 22, 1808 Evelin Patton m. Richard Wills on October l9, l796 Jane Patton married Original Williams on March 25, l808 Julia Patton married William Robertson on November 25, l850 L. H. Patton married George T. Fishback on June l4, l836 (Lumia, I think) Polley Patton married Henry Halley (Holley?) on May 8, l806 Polly Patton married Phineas Skinner Sary Anne Patton married James Dunn on October 27, l827 I thought I would list this together so we can trace some of them to show a possible connection to Charles Patton and Ann McCoy and their known children of Hughes Patton (who married l. Delila Shepherd 2. Polly Ann Ross), Thomas Patton (who married Polly Abney), Lois Patton (who married William Dewitt), and Jane Patton (who married Original Williams shown above). I have a strong feeling that at least some of these other Pattons tie into our Pattons in Clark Co., KY. Let me know what you think. Joan

Hello everyone, Does anyone now where the Red River Historical Society, in Powell County, will be meeting at for their next meeting. I have never been to one of their meetings, and I thought I would like to go. I am the new CC for Powell County. I figured it would help me with updating the site, by meeting the people of Powell county. If anyone knows the next meeting place, date, and time, please let me know.

Several of my Pattons lived in Powell County - namely, Sarah Ann Dewitt, daughter of Lois Patton and William Dewitt, who married l. Francis Marion Patton 2. William Francis Patton and 3. Green Berry Patton, Sr. Sarah and William Francis had one son William Henry Patton. Sarah and her third husband Green Berry Patton, Sr. had two sons - Green Berry Patton, Jr. and John Bell Patton who married Sarah Roberts.
