I have asked an 85 year old grandaunt about what she recalls.
My greatgrandmother Mary Coleman was born about 1897-died about 1971 in Halifax County Virginia. She married Ben Lacks. He was a mulatto. Mary Colemans mothers name was Ellen Coleman. Ellens Coleman husband was John Coleman. Maiden name was Rice. All born in Halifax County. She stated, there was some indian in the family but she does not recall what was said regarding that. I am also related to a Sam Collins and I believe a Drewie Collins. This type of research is new to me. It takes awhile to catch on. I will be in Halifax County for Christmas to visit relatives. Maybe the court house or vital statistics has some pertinent info.
I copied the above post from Native Lady to the “Saponi in Halifax County” thread so we can see her earlier statements about her interesting family tree. That thread is here:
