I am resubmitting my query because I believe it is unclear. My ggg grandfather Warner Pritchard b. 1800 married Sophia Goens in 1816. I'm researching as to whether the name Goens or Goins is Indian, Mulatto, or Melungeon. Bonnie Bell's Melungeon book states that people with the name of GOINS were in the counties of southwest Virginia; Giles, Lee,Russell, Scott, Washington and Wine. Has anyone heard of this name? Sincerely, DeeRandall
