STOKES COUNTY COURT.
… On Wednesday there was a case which excited considerable interest, the case of the State vs. Enoch Going. The State was represented by Mr. Solicitor Masten, and Going was defended by J.R. McLean and A.H. Joyce, Esquires. This was an indictment against the said defendant, who was charged in the bill as being a free negro, for migrating into this State from Virginia, contrary to our Act of Assembly. The defendant, through his counsel, denied that he is a free negro, and alleged that he is of Indian extraction. The Jury, on the testimony before them, acquitted him.

My paternal lines are 100% Native American from Columbia South America. These results were of a Y DNA test taken by my brother. My paternal ancestors were slaves in South Carolina and my paternal grandfather and his siblings were raised as orphans. We still don’t know which tribe buet they may have been Seminole.
