James Nickens,
If the fpc descendants enclaved at the locations you reference as "Malungeon Town" and "Bell's Bend" experienced a similar situation as those who migrated into Louisiana and Texas as clans of patrilinial structured families, even passable complexion would not have eliminated them from the dinigrating attitudes of the neighbors who knew their ancestral history.
