Tennessee Melungeons of Hawkins/Hancock County

Research Notes
By Virginia DeMarce, Ph.D.
Past President of the National Genealogical Society

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.
