Melungeon DNA Project
The Melungeon DNA Project is a genetic study by Family Tree DNA of people with identified Melungeon ancestors (according to historic records), mostly residing in Hancock County, Tennessee and nearby areas of Kentucky. The study was started in 2005. Researchers published an article in 2012 summarizing their results. The female ancestors were shown to have had European DNA, while the male ancestors were shown to have had DNA from both African and European haplogroups.
== Background ==
The term "Melungeon" was used by others from the early 19th century to describe a group of people living in Hancock County, Tennessee, and nearby areas. It was a pejorative name. Vardy Collins is considered the patriarch of the Melungeons. Author Roberta Estes states the first mention of Melungeons was in 1810, listing them as neither Negro nor Indian, but as "foreigners."
Marriage to whites by African, Native American, or any free people of color, was prohibited by law from the mid-18th century.〔 In the mid-to-late 19th century, Melungeons were often viewed as white by their neighbors and by the law, as evidenced by their frequently serving in the military, voting, and carrying arms—all citizen obligations, and the rights of white men. While the communities stayed endogamous until 1900,〔 Melungeons of both genders increasingly married white spouses afterward.
