From Virginia and North Carolina the families crossed into Kentucky and Tennessee. The earliest known Melungeon in Northeast Tennessee was Millington Collins, who executed a deed in Hawkins County in 1802.
Several Collins and Gibson households appear in Floyd County, Kentucky, in 1820, when they are listed as "free persons of color".[12] On the 1830 censuses of Hawkins and Grainger County, Tennessee, Melungeon families are listed as "free-colored".[13][14] Melungeons were residents of the part of Hawkins that became Hancock County in 1844.[15]
