Hi LJ,
Thanks for the information. I don't have any idea really how they connect to the
Melungeons! After hearing everyone talking about the Melungeons on the list, and I had
read some things, I decided to join
the list at rootsweb. I have never even heard of Melungeons until I started on this
genealogy. There are two people on the list that I know of that have Carden ancestors, and
I don't know if they consider
them to be Melungeons or not. I don't really have any more information on them.
The head of the group, said she had Estep and Carden ancestors. Then she mentioned that
they were called Horseshoe people. She said they were from Carter Co. TN.
That's all I can tell you. Becky C.

The Horseshoe people were the people that lived in what was called the
Horseshoe section (near Watauga Lake) of Carter Co., TN. Most of my Carden
relatives were from the Horseshoe. What information do you need on the
Horseshoe People? There is a book called "The Horseshoe People" by Dan Crowe.
I do not know if it is still in print.
How are these Carden's connected to the Melungeon's.
