June 26-27, 2009: A lecture on the Winton Triangle by Marvin T. Jones was among the presentations at the 13th Reunion of The Melungeon Heritage Association held in Logan, West Virginia. K. Paul Johnson, author of Pell Mellers: Race and Memory in a Carolina Poquosin and a consultant to the Melungeon Heritage Association, invited Jones and Bertie County’s Dr. Arwin D. Smallwood, Associate Professor, The University of Memphis Department of History and a native of Bertie County’s Indian Woods community.

Dr. Smallwood presented an extensive and exciting history of the Tuscarora people who are among the ancestors of the Winton Triangle community. Both Jones and Smallwood have been invited to speak at next year’s MHA conference in Tennessee.
