Thank you LaRee for your remarks, I finally went out and ordered her book WHEN SCOTLAND WAS JEWISH, but I think I better take up Kevin's advice and get a copy of Pat Spurlock Elder's work, MELUNGEONS.
I have quite a few ancestors who were at Fort Blakemore, including John Blakemore and his daughter Elizabeth who later married Elmore Douglass. So I have Blakemores, Douglasses, Cockrells, Coles, Cockes or Coxes ALL potentially in the same area of Fort Blakemore at the very same period of time.
So of course, I am very interested in the Melungeons, due to the statement that they FIRST arrived along with brothers, John & Joseph Blakemore and their families.

Maranda, it is my experience that almost everything ascribed to the epithet "melungeon" should be considered with a grain of salt; Hirshman's writings and Donald Panther-Yates's writings especially.
