    3. This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------4B0D2344EB36B5DE084A2F75 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Margrett Black Dutch was also used by those who were of mixed Indian Blood. From about the time of Andrew Jackson till about the civil war the census listed people as either Negro or White. If you were Mixed you could not own land in most of the southern states during this period. One rule was if your skin was the shade of a paper bag, you considered non white. Hence many chose the term black Dutch. This originally referred to the Spanish who had migrated to Northern Europe. Many of their offspring had Black Hair and Blue Eyes. (Black Dutch) Later this same standard was adapted by some of the Irish, who saw "No Irish need apply". In Virginia during the same period marriages between Indian and Whites that produced an offspring who was then referred to MIDDLEN. This term was used because being poor their main meal most of the time consisted of the fatty piece of pork that others would not eat or purchase. This was eaten between two slices of bread. Middlen was a very derogatory term in most of Virginia. In losing my wife who is the Richardson in our family was always told as a child that she was a mixture of Irish, English, German and Black Dutch. We have no been able to confirm that the Black Dutch was Cherokee. Bother Maternal and Fraternal Great Great Grandmothers where full blooded Cherokee. Hope this helped.
