I was thinking more John Chavis the football coach, who looks black or white depending on the day and haircut.

So.... who are the Lumbee exactly?

they're pretty much "light skinned" afro-descendants (all their surnames still exist with the ADOS community that identifies as "black" but are from the same ancestral stock) who descend from some of the earliest free people of color from Virginia who come from white mothers + black fathers. And since they heavily come from FPOC going back to the 1600s, they went real:mjpls:to keep distance from the later, freed slaves and avoid being grouped as "black". To further this, they played the pretendian game to get their own schools in a 3 tier caste system dynamic:snoop:

Thanks.
In your Powerful Black Families thread, I posted something about Dr. Aaron Moore from Durham.
The next reply came from a poster who threw shots at Lumbee (and a stray at Stedman Graham). I didn't get it at the time, but I do now.

The matriarchs of some of those families were white women? I've read about interracial unions not being rare in certain parts of that region(before there were laws banning them), but there were several of those free Black Families started by Black men and white women?

As far as clinging to non Black blood/ancestry from centuries ago.......I think you've mentioned being in circles with descendants of gens de couleur from former French colonies.
"St. Domingue did that, so hopefully the Lumbee don't have to go through that"
Interesting how there are parallel stories across the diaspora.

thanks



that was me lol


book came out a few weeks ago, May 2020

Aaron McDuffie Moore
An African American Physician, Educator, and Founder of Durham's Black Wall Street

Below is an old article about his family doing the research for the book .
WelchStory.jpg

In Search of Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore

Eileen Welch is up-close-and-personal with the Shaw University Archives, housed on campus in the foyer of the James E. Cheek Learning Resource Center. Open to faculty, staff, students, alumni and the community for research and scholarship, the Shaw Archives holds historical, legal, fiscal and administrative records dating back to the school’s founding in 1865 as the south’s first black college.

Welch, however, is on the hunt for one name: Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore, her maternal great-grandfather. Moore is an 1888 graduate of the second class of Shaw’s Leonard Medical School; the first African-American doctor to practice medicine in Durham, NC; founder of Lincoln Hospital and Lincoln Hospital School of Nursing; founder of the Durham Colored Library, Inc.,co-founder of N.C. Mutual Life Insurance Company, and Mechanics and Farmers Bank (now known as M&F Bank).

Stedman is related to him/from that same stock.


The Benjamin and Edith Spaulding Descendants are a large extended family whose roots lead back to Colonial America.

Benjamin Spaulding (1773-1862) was of mixed-race background, born into slavery in Duplin County, NC. His wife Edith Delphia Freeman Spaulding (1786-1871) was a Native-American of Waccamaw and Cape Fear Indian ancestry from Bladen County, NC. The couple had nine children: William, Emanuel, Armstead, John, Iver, Ann Eliza, Benjamin Jr., David and Henry.

Benjamin was legally freed in 1825 by manumission papers filed in Columbus County, NC courts. Earlier census records and land deeds in indicate Benjamin was considered free for many years before that date.

Benjamin and Edith acquired land and a mill in Farmers Union, NC becoming skilled farmers and turpentine distillers. With their extended families the couple helped establish a free, independent and self-sustaining community with a school and church on their land prior to the U.S. Civil War. Post-Civil War the family entered politics as well, with their son John Spaulding (1817-1894) elected as the first county commissioner of color in Bladen County, NC in 1868.

Benjamin and Edith’s nine children raised 76 grandchildren and many extended family members as well. Step-grandson George Henry White (1852-1918) was elected to U.S. Congress in 1897 serving two terms as the sole African-American congressman of that era. After being forced out of his seat due to implementation of discriminatory "Jim Crow" laws in North Carolina, Congressman White relocated to Philadelphia becoming a prominent business leader. In 1901 he founded the town of Whitesboro, NJ as a place for settlers to have an even chance for opportunities and success. Many of our family members relocated to Whitesboro successfully replicating traditions of self-sufficiency and achievement. New York, Washington, DC and Los Angeles became additional early 20th century nexus points where Spaulding descendants made their mark.

Grandson Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore (1862-1923), with his nephew Charles Clinton Spaulding (1874-1952) and business partner John Merrick (1859-1919), created unparalleled opportunities for people of color in Durham, NC. Together they co-founded North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., Mechanics & Farmers Bank, Lincoln Hospital and other entities forming “Black Wall Street” in Durham, the preeminent African-American business center of the mid-20th century. C.C. Spaulding also had a significant role in the founding of North Carolina Central University at Durham in 1909, while Dr. A.M. Moore spearheaded the establishment of numerous Rosenwald Fund elementary schools in rural African-American communities throughout the Carolinas.

Great-grandson Rev. William Luther Moore (1857-1930) left a profound legacy within the Native-American community as a renowned educator and religious leader among the Lumbee Tribe. He founded the Croatan Normal School in 1887, now the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Rev. W.L. Moore also initiated the ongoing effort for federal tribal recognition of the Lumbee by the U.S. Government in the 1890s. Spaulding descendants continue to maintain a proud and significant presence in the modern Lumbee and Waccamaw-Siouan Indian communities in North Carolina.

Spaulding descendants have pioneered in many key areas. Their achievements in education, finance, public service, arts, agriculture, and invention have been truly remarkable.

Today some nine generations since Benjamin and Edith have come into existence with more than 5,000 descendants. Bi-annual Reunions connect cousins from all over the country, with annual events additionally held by our regional committees. Our family association (BESDA, Inc.) and non-profit foundation (BESDF, Inc.) now support many beneficial projects among our extended family.

I've never even heard of this tribe?!?:mindblown:if they have black ancestry mixed with Indian why are they causing fukking problems...:dahell: either get on board of gtfo the way!!!:pacspit:


I know a few people who are from this tribe. Back in Philly I know one woman who was married to a very light skin black man. She told me that her family was very:mjpls:But love the man who eventually became her husband. They have meet ups were young people meet other young people and the marriages are virtually all but arranged. They are very Latino looking in appearance with that tri-racial thing going on. Another dude I know from the Lumbee tribe that I thought was a Puerto Rican is married to a black Jamaican woman.

I’m sorry I’m not knocking the lumbee I’d be racist towards anyone that wasn’t native. Id understand that blacks were forced here but shyt it’s still our stolen land.

my exwife was native and they weren’t too keen on her marrying a black man...But they said it’s far better than her marry a guzack (white person)

The Lumbee are just as much black and white as they are native American so your point is moot.

It gets complicated because a name like Chavis for example is an old FPOC name from way back, from the first Africans that arrived in 17th century Virginia and gained their freedom early on. Atlantic Creoles.

A lot of families like that split, some went the faux Indian route, some married white, some stayed Black. So there’s a lot of overlap with surnames between these “native“ groups and multi-generational mixed African Americans because they’re the same people.

Basically the American version of “me no Black papi”
:mjgrin:


yea, Dr Ben Chavis comes from the same stock as Lumbee identified types; he's just part of the faction that didn't take on the Lumbee identity. I posted before because it put the situation in a better context


how the ancestors to the lumbees were thinking

They (that old issue negro stock of Virginians) didn't all try to become "Indians" though, so today you have people that are related where some identify as "Lumbee Indian", "Afram and Lumbee or Black Indian" and others only as "Afram". For example

(Afram identified but of the same stock as Lumbee identified people)


What is 'PenderROCK'?

In the beginning was the Walker Family Reunion. Then came the Wheelers. Then came the Williams. So it became the Walker+ Family Reunion.

There used to be the Jacobs Family Reunion. There was also the Merritt Family Reunion. They beget the Jacobs-Merritt Family Reunion.

The Walker+ people and the Jacobs-Merritt people are kin. They started having reunions together -- the Jacobs-Merritt/Walker+ Family Reunion.

The name became rather long and cumbersome.

Who are these people and why are they all in the same family group? They are descendants of people who have lived in Pender County since at least 1765 (Esther Jacobs was on the tax roll that year). They were colored people. They were colored beige. They were colored yellow. They were colored red. They were colored brown.

North Carolina had many clans of free colored people. Each clan was heavily interrelated and was also related to neighboring clans. So the Pender colored people are kin to the Robeson colored people and the Sampson colored people and the Brunswick & Bladen & Columbus colored people.

Some of the other people no longer identify themselves as “colored”. They have become Indian or white. The Pender people continued to be called colored or mulatto. Today, they self-identify as black and/or African American. But they’re still colored beige and colored yellow and colored red and colored brown. And they’re still trying to be free.


Half of the surnames [Jacobs, Messick, Walker, Wheeler] have lived in Pender County since the 1700s. Thus, the combined reunion was renamed the Pender Reunion Of Colored Kindred (PenderROCK).

Half of the families [West, Merritt, Williams] came to Pender from nearby Sampson County in the 1880s. PenderROCK has been strengthened by the increasing attendance of Sampson County cousins who share the same lineage

PenderROCK > 'PenderROCK'?

even Tupac's mother had connection to the same Lumbee stock

well that sounds all well and fine but the people I know who are lumbee claim That and nothing else. Same as Chippewas and Comanches and any of the others I’ve ran across to include Alaskan natives.
