Hello, Listening in on the Black Dutch theme, I have to say: My father always claimed to be Black Dutch and like most I couldn't figure out what that might be. I went thru the Melungeon research a few years back, and though it is very interesting and many people descend from these people, I could never connect my Richardson's. My Samuel Richardson b.ca. 1806 in GA. had parents that were born in NC. but know no names. I am trying to find at this time Richardson in NC. 1775 - 1800 that my have migrated to GA. and a family with a son named Samuel and a son named William. If anyone has research that may have these two son's I could use any info. Thanks for any data Margrett (Richardson) McCorkle

May as well put my 1 cent worth into the "Black Dutch" pot ,,, at one time I was married into a "B.D." family and they were of German descent.

I heard they were German, too....and, I am not making this up, they were called Black Dutch because they had a lot of moles..... > May as well put my 1 cent worth into the "Black Dutch" pot ,,, at one time I was married into a "B.D." family and they > were of German descent. > Bob Hays > _________________________________ > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "margrett mccorkle" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 8:30 PM > Subject: [RICHARDSON] "Black Dutch" Richardson's > > > > Hello, Listening in on the Black Dutch theme, I have to say: My father always claimed to be Black Dutch and like most I > couldn't figure out what that might be. > > I went thru the Melungeon research a few years back, and though it is very interesting and many people descend from > these people, I could never connect my Richardson's. > > My Samuel Richardson b.ca. 1806 in GA. had parents that were born in NC. but know no names.
