"1850 - 1880 Hancock County, TN Census

This study is limited to the Tennessee Melungeons of
Hawkins/Hancock County (with what can be learned
specifically about them in the counties from which their
ancestors came, and the counties to which members of their
families moved). It does not use the term 'Melungeon'
generically to describe tri-racial or possibly tri-racial
settlements in the remainder of Tennessee's counties, much less
all over the Upper South.

TO BE DONE:

Generally speaking, we all need to do a
lot of Grayson Co., VA (organized 1792
from Wythe and Patrick), research on these
TN Melungeon-related lines."
