Curtis Christy,
But what about my basic question concerning your stated speculation about the origins of the exonym "melungeon"? All I asked of was the implication which is seemingly being ignored if you are using the Goins surname as an integral prop for your Angolan speculations while refusing to assess the appearance of the surname among the other similarly situated multi-ethic enclaves where "melungeon" was not commonly used? As I stated, it seems to me a bit naive to assume a unique status for those individuals referenced by the exonym "melungeon" and surnamed Goins while you dismiss with indifference similarly situated isolate communities in other locations where the Goins surname was common.
The question you are seemingly attempting to avoid is still concerning the origins you insist for the exonym "melungeon"; not the origins of the surname Goins. The only significance of that particular surname rests in your usage of it to connect with the alleged clan of Angolan descendants who became known "melungeons".
