Hi Randye!
Sorry, I just saw your message.
Hey you must be kin to Richard Drew. [email protected]
. I have a couple of his books here on Carrier Mills, let me know who and I can do a lookup.
His line grew up in Carrier Mills. My grandfather was listed as white too. I think they are indian or portuguese back then, many people were called black. Some were but it's confusing when trying to find your roots. My grandmother was freckled and light skinned as long as I knew her. I have heard some from CM say that they knew family who passed as white and moved off, forgetting their families, I suppose running from the race and the discrimination whcih caused much grief back in the 17-1800's.
