ANYTIME BEFORE 1881, VANCE CO DID NOT EXIST... AND SO GRANSVILLE WAS A LARGE COUNTY AMONGST OTHERS AND I BELIEVE MY GGGG GRANDFATHER WAS A SLAVE FOR THE DESCENDENTS OF WILLIAM EATON... YET ITS IS KNOWN THAT SLAVE MASTERS HAD SEX WITH THEIR SLAVES AND MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT HE SAW A PIC OF bEN AND HE WAS BROWN SKINNED YET HIS SON "pinky" WAS VERY VERY LIGHT SKINNED THAT HE WAS PINKISH AND MISTAKEN FOR A CAUSACIAN WHICH INFORMS ME THAT WILLIAM AND HIS SONS MIGHT HAVE BEEN SEXING HIS SLAVES AND CREATING A WHOLE BREED OF MULATTOES... FYI, I MYSELF IS A 4TH, 3RD AND 2ND GENERATION MULATTO AND HAVE MANY MIXTURES IN MY FAMILY FROM SCOTTISH/IRISH/POLISH/WELSH/GERMAN TO INDIAN/CARIBEAN/BANTUAN/and COASTAL AFRIK TRIBES...
