Indiana ancestors
"More than 163 families descended from white women, 38 descended from freed slaves, 15 from American Indians and nine from white men who married or had children by free African-American women.
Heinegg states that the majority of the remaining families descended from white women, since they first appear in court records in the mid-18th century, when slaves could not be freed without legislative approval, and there is no record of such emancipations. Light is also shed on the origins of the Lumbees, Melungeons and other mixed-race groups."
