If you are related to the WHITE family, they are known to be descended to Abigail GRUBB who was meludgeon. They are known to be connected to the local tribes in that area of VA. They were also connected to the French trappers who initially came into the area. I think that is the history. Do a google search and there will be more. (I don't know if I have Meludgeon spelled correctly.) Jeff Carr of TX

My dad was related to Abigail. I think you are right except that terms like "Melungeon" are specific to an area (that one I think Tenessee) and are pejorative.
