How do we know this was an Indian Community? Those listed in the out of print book, Indians of North Carolina, are denoted as being there: Graham/Hatten/Holden of Holden's Beach, etc, whose descendants started the Lott - Fayard Indian School once they received bounty lands in Indian Territory (currently MS).

"On GEDmatch, you can compare your genome to one collected from so-called Anzick, DNA collected from a Native male from a burial in western Montana. I compared my grandmother's kit to this sample, and she matched a segment on chromosome 10. Then I looked to see who else matched her on that segment. I looked at the family names in their trees: Norfolk people -- Batchelor, Deanes, Tucker. Same families from that 1732 Norfolk list I posted....that Western Branch area of Norfolk''' was definitely an Indian community.''' It was not just the Basses descended from that one marriage to Mary Tucker and associates." ~~~~Justin Petrone, FPOC, 6/29/18
