From Loren Kelly's web site -- "Phoebe A. Carney Miller and Enoch Miller were my Maternal G-G-Grandparents. They were the parents of my Maternal Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Miller Parrish. On the 1850 Delaware Federal Census they were listed as "Mulatto." On the 1870 Delaware Federal Census they were listed as "Free Persons of Color." After migrating to the wilderness of Michigan, they were listed on the 1880; 1890; 1900; and all census' thereafter as "White." By moving from Little Creek Hundred Delaware [A tri-isolate {Tri-Racial} Delware Moor Community] to Michigan they had successfully assimilated into white society." |
