"Since the late twentieth century, the researchers Paul Heinegg and Dr. Virginia DeMarce have conducted additional historic research in censuses, land deeds, court records, etc. to document that many multi-racial groups, later sometimes called tri-racial isolates, who during the nineteenth and early twentieth century were found in frontier areas, were descendants of families of free people of color formed in colonial Virginia. [9] At the time, most colonists were indentured servants from the British Isles. Beginning in the early 17th century, colonists imported African indentured servants and slaves. In the early period, the working classes of indentured servants, slaves and free workers lived and worked closely together, leading to marriages and unions.[4] The historian Ira Berlin has described the first generation of African-descended people in Virginia as the "charter generation." He has noted that some were the multiracial descendants (usually men), who were the children of Portuguese and Spanish men active in the slave trade, and African women in the slave ports. Some of the men arrived as free laborers, having accompanied Europeans. Others were imported as slaves.[10]"

This should be removed as well, as Melungeons have never been found in slave or servant records.  This is in  a section for the Origins of "Melungeons"  yet this section is not discussing "Melungeons".  Since Melungeons have never been found in slave records, it makes no sense why this is even in a article on Melungeons.  Unless someone can find a slave record for Melungeons then it should be removed and anything pertaining to slaves.  This mentions slaves and indentured servant and leads towards African americans, however the original slaves in Virginia was Native Americans, Irish, Portuguesse, people from India, etc etc. Either way it does not pertain to Melungeons as Melungeons was never slaves. 

I looked at he Virginia DeMarce source used, only thing is says about Melungeons is they was mixed race, then it discusses indians, then it mentions the Melungeons being Saponi indians.  http://www.genpage.com/DeMarce.pdf

So not really sure why the actual Melungeon section of that source was not used and instead something was used in replace of what the source says on the Melungeons.  What that sources says is  "Saponi, who appeared in Orange county, Virginia, on the lands of Governor Spotswood as late as 1742-43- including the Bowling and Collins names later found among Tennessee Melungeons."  This is speaking about the Saponi indians.  Then it mentions tri-rcial groups in reference to white, black, and indian mixture in equal portions.  

I looked at the Paul Heinegg source, could not find the word Melungeon used at all,  so clearly that can't be used as a source to this article. http://www.freeafricanamericans.com/

So clearly this stuff needs to be removed and the Demarce reference needs to be re worded to the "exact" way the source states in relation to Melungeons.
