I’m not sure that these particular settlers had anything to do with the Melungeons. Perhaps they intermarried with them, though.
By the group W bench tribe no doubt. Bad way to go.
My mother's family came to North America from Sweden in the 1630s on the Kalmar Nyckel settling near what is now Philadelphia. A reproduction of the Kalmar Nyckel is currently moored in Delaware. Does the ship's name "Kalmar Nyckel" have anything to do with the region you mention -- Nikel Oblast?
The reason why I tell my kids that spell check is ineffective.
There's a "Moose Bite" joke in there...
Fair enough...
I don’t. I’ll have to give some thought to what book the story was in, then try a web search to see if anything is online. This could take a while. :’)
The Lumbees truly believe and they certainly don’t look all that much like the Indian Indians all around, but there are many such groups, like the “We sorts” in Southern Maryland.
Only in quite recent times did the Federal Government consent to classify the Lumbees as an Indian tribe. For several centuries those around them did not regard them as an Indian tribe, such as those of the Seneca Nation.

That was in or near the site. The artifact I read about was an engraving on a stone (if memory serves), and there may have been more than one. It was found many miles away.
I was wondering, If when John white returned and found his group amiss, did he go to the friends they referred to as Croatan? and inquire about his family? or did he siply retrun back to England. For some reason I feel inclined to believe that had they gotten help from allies they would have been able to take all their possessions, but if Indians had captured them the places would have been in a burnt ruin making sure they left no survivors( if the indians were hostile) and Taking into consideration the marking was on a tree five feet from the ground would make me think it was either a woman or a younger male, who wrote it. I wish the answer to this mysrey was found it boggles my mind when people just vanish.
