Know I'm Melungeon now and proud of it..just wish I could get some proof..my
family seems to come to a dead end...and for what it is worth ..I have dark
hair and very blue eyes and high cheek bones, the bump and the shovel
teeth..I had very pale skin but now seem to keep a year round tan..Egyptian
friends told me I could easily pass in the streets of Egypt as a native which
shocked others in the room because of my blue eyes. I vacation in Mexico and
they all seem to think I am Mexican and when I say I am not..they think I am
French! My family....Solomon Collins (b. ? Ava Mo) m. Sally Collins (b.? Ava
Mo). daughter- Nellie Caroline Collins (b.3/16/1885, Ava Mo) m. Thomas Martin
Collins (b.11/22/1885 Ava Mo) son of Ben Collins (b. Ava MO) and Lydia
Collins (b. Ava MO)...Isaac Walton Martin (b. 1812 Ohio) m. Nancy Unkown (b.
1813-17 Virginia), son - Christopher Columbus Martin (b. 7/29/1856, Texas Co.
Mo) m. Martha Jane Johnson (5/17/1858, Texas Co. Mo), son- Benjamin Franklin
Martin (b. 5/29/1875, Texas Co. Mo) m. Laura T. Iceman (b. 6/8/1876, Jasper
Co. Mo) ..my mother remembers her name as Hitchock??..but all proof and
records say Iceman
anxious to hear from long lost cousins, Cheri
