Message Board Post:
My children's ancestors moved from Sneedville, TN to Clearspring, IN about 1937 or so.
Their grandmother was Tennie (Tennessee Virginia) Collins Seal. The Collins are in the
lists of people being Melungeons. Her husband was Richard Samuel Seal(s) whose mother was
a Gibson, also a Melungeon line. I have seen the name Jim Callahan in writings too. When
was this talk given? I am not aware of other Melungeons that moved at that time. But with
other kin in the area it is not unusual. You can search the internet and find names that
are associated. I have Hancock Co. TN books if anyone needs information from them. Linda
