@IllmaticDelta Do you know what happened in NC in 1835? I know in 1817 Virginia instituted the black codes that stated all free people of color that continued to reside in the state risked enslavement. That's when you saw a mass exodus of Virginia's free black families into the free territories like Ohio where branches of my family relocated. It appears some of them also went into Robeson County but whatever happened in 1835, instead of leaving, it appeared to cause them to have to 'pass' as Lumbee.

Me:


...the only big event that I can think of that happened in NC in 1835 was:

1835 Revision of the North Carolina State Constitution disenfranchises free blacks.

LibGuides: Quakers, Slavery, and the Underground Railroad: Timeline

Following the Nat Turner Slave Rebellion of 1831, the state legislature passed amendments to its original 1776 constitution, abolishing suffrage for free people of color. This was one of a series of laws passed by North Carolina whites from 1826 to the 1850s which the historian John Hope Franklin characterized as the "Free Negro Code," creating restrictions on that class. Free people of color were stripped of various political and civil rights which they had enjoyed for almost two generations. They could no longer vote or serve on juries, bear arms without a license from the state, or serve in the state militia.[16] As these were obligations traditionally associated with citizenship, they were made second-class citizens.

In 1853, the North Carolina Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the state's restrictions to prevent free people of color from bearing arms without a license. Noel Locklear, identified as a free man of color in State v. Locklear, was convicted for the illegal possession of firearms.[17][18][19] In 1857, William Chavers from Robeson County was arrested and charged as a free person of color for carrying a shotgun without a license. Chavers, like Locklear, was convicted. Chavers promptly appealed, arguing that the law restricted only "free Negroes," not "persons of color from Indian blood." The appeals court reversed the lower court, finding that "free persons of color may be, then, for all we can see, persons colored by Indian blood".[20]

Yea, the ones that migrated north to Ohio like you pointed out, didn't take on an Indian identity (they stayed black) even if the claimed to be part Amerindian; the ones who stayed in NC did because it offered them an easy way out of the Southern Jim Crow system

Hamilton McMillan (August 29, 1837 - February 27, 1916)

single handily invented this "tribe" of Indians so they would vote for him/democrats

@IllmaticDelta Another Lumbee DNA cousin of mine.

Would've loved to be a fly on the wall when she told her parents her results.

She is an exact quadroon by ancestry. It's funny, on their maternal lines they seem to mostly be descended from pawgs who were ready to risk it all for brehs and mixed guys.

That's an interesting point. At least on 23andme, most ADOS I have seen average around 1 percent Native, while it looks like some Lumbee have none.
