I believe there was some discussion awhile back re the Monacans of Amherst County area. Below is what appears to be their official Nation website with a very interesting history, and if your ancestors there were named Hughes, Evans, Johns, among others, they married Native women. To know of the history of a county from different points of view is to know the life and times of our ancestors, and the historical aspect of all this genealogy is what fascinates me.
