Funny I have never seen 'Missy Avid' make her DNA results public, if they even exist. How does that old saying go 'What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander'.
Thank goodness this match had a GEDCOM file posted. It enabled me to do a little research into that families history. A good example of why GEDCOM files should be posted at FTDNA.
I am not going to name my match at this time. I respect the privacy of my match and his family. When the correct time comes, and I have their permission , I will in fact name names.
Here is what I know so far:
The Y-DNA haplogroup of my match is E-M2 (E1b1a).
The Surnames Berry, Broom, Cumbo, Jacobs, Kearsey, Locklear, Lowry, Oxendine and Sampson are all surnames connected to this line.
The Tuscarora Tribe is the source of their Indian blood, and came from female lines.
Were owners of slaves
There are connections to Bertie County , North Carolina.
They were in this part of North Carolina before Robeson County was formed, it was Bladen County when they first settled there.
One Generation fought in the American Revolutionary War.
In the early days they were Whigs in politics.
One generation were known hog thieves.
They are listed as FPC (Free Person of Color), Mulatto and Indian on tax records and the U.S. Census.
They were land owners.
So far that is what I have found. I'll be researching this match, until I find the common ancestor. I will be posting any new information I find.
Please note, I am not trying to say the Lumbees are Melungins, or that the Melungins are Lumbees. Two different groups with two different histories. I'm just following up on a DNA match.
