>I am trying to find more information on the "Carmel Indian Settlement" in >Highland County, Ohio.... any information would be greatly appreciated... >~Sherry~ *Supposedly* they are related to the Melungeons of VA/WV/KY/TN. *Supposedly* they are mixed with remnants of the Wyandotte, Miami, Mingo, Delaware, and Shawnee Indians. *Supposedly* they came from Melungeon migrants from Magoffin Co KY in the early 1800s. There is a whole lot of conjecture as to the origin(s) of the Melungeons, and the Carmel Indians are listed as a group related to the Melungeons. Any search on the web for Melungeons generally includes references to the Carmel Indians as well. I do know that a lot of people from southwestern Virginia settled in Highland Co, and southwestern Virginia is/was part of Melungeon territory. I don't know enough about the Melungeons to make any further statements other than to say that some in my extended Surber family (Swiss German from PA to sw VA) may have Melungeon ties. Rick
