For your consideration - The Cantleys have Melungeon blood that has been classified as
Black Dutch. Also, there are many stories in families with Melungeon blood concerning
"Indian Princesses". Guess it was better to be Indian than Melungeon. The
Melungeon blood could acount for the high cheek bones and dark complexion - My
gggrandfather was James Allen Cantley s/o James Ellison Cantley & Virginia Green -
Allen Ellicot was James Ellison's brother, I believe.
