Presumed to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=7933\" target=\"_blank\">part white with varying proportions of Indian and Negro blood<\/a>,** they are recognized as of intermediate social status, sharing lot with neither white nor colored, and enjoying neither the governmental protection nor the tribal tie of the typical Indian descendants. A high degree of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Endogamy\" target=\"_blank\">endogamy<\/a> results from this special status, and their recognition is crystallized in the unusual group names applied to them by the country people.<\/p>\n<p>The chief populations of this type are located and identified in Figure 1, which expresses their recurrence as a pattern of distribution. Yet each is essentially a local phenomenon, a unique demographic body, defined only in its own terms and only by its own neighbors. A name applied to one group in one area would have no meaning relative to similar people elsewhere. This association of mixed-blood and particular place piques the geographic curiosity about a subject which, were it ubiquitous, might well be abandoned to the sociologist and social historian. What accounts for these cases of social <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Endemism\" target=\"_blank\">endemism<\/a> in the racially mixed population?<\/p>\n<p>The total number of these mixed-bloods is probably between 50,000 and 100,000 persons. Individually recognized groups may run from fewer than 100 to as many as 18,000 persons in the case of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Croatan\" target=\"_blank\">Croatans<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North_Carolina\" target=\"_blank\">North Carolina<\/a>. The available records, the most useful being old census schedules,&#8217; indicate that the present numbers of mixed-bloods have sprung from the great reproductive increase of small initial populations; the prevalence in each group of a small number of oft-repeated surnames is in accord with such a conclusion.\u00a0\u00a0 The ancestors of the mixed-bloods&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/melungeon.ning.com\/forum\/topics\/1953-article-by-edward-price\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Geographic Analysis of White-Negro-Indian Racial Mixtures in Eastern United States Annals of the Association of American Geographers Volume 43, Number 2 (June 1953) pages 138-155 Edward T.
