I'd be interested in information about the mtdna - I have a line, paternal but my father's mother's, that I believe was Melungeon. They were not in Russell to my knowledge, but were in Pittsylvania and Montgomery: Velma Robison Juana Adkins Mary Miner Therese Thurman and, somewhere a Casteel, according to my grandmother. I've not found one yet. Any links or info appreciated. Laurie Morales Jim Jessee <[email protected]> wrote: Jeff, Thank you for your note. The RIN 19301 record you refer to is Johannes or John Cuntze, the father of John Counts of Glade Hollow, the founder of the Counts family in Russell Co., VA..

Your information below will be of interest to several folks on both the Jessee and Russell Co.l List so I will share this with them, and ask that they respond directly to you, as, I assume, you are not a subscriber to those lists.

So far I see nothing that bridges the Cumberland Gap to Pennsylvania in my lineage though my mtDNA says different.
