Black German in North Carolina may mean Black Dutch. These same names are ones
from a friend of mine that does Burleson, Conn, Hicks, Hughes, etc---except that
hers really are BAPTIST not German Baptist Brethren. Interesting that her
Shipman line comes from Cecil and Harford Co MD, migrates with the Polks and
Davis and Alexander to Burke Co NC and some to Washington CO TN I think. Please
email me about the Black Dutch--they are Welsh descendants with some of DeSoto's
and some of Prince Madoc of Wales blood. Many are blond haired blue eyed and some
of those are Native Americans. So for going on and on...email me with info on
those lines--since hers were descended from a Conn/Kohn from Hancopck MD who
married a Foutz/Pfoutz and Harmon relative I woul love to know about these
Brethren names you have..... psychic 2 door who just got out of the Guilford
and NC pages and saw this!
