were all grvea a leal to look at their

brcagfcrdiag had a hrnrftrial affect
on the neurologic development of
children. This wis thought to be due
I to the foci that breast milk contains

at patients who were leas than 75

results of the study showed an asso

reduced risk ofbreast cancer Tor pre

Along the Robeson Trail
by Dr. Stan Knick, Director
PSU Native American Resource Center
Someune ulrcd me rccendy why
a lot of Lumbee people have names
thai sound like they came from Great
Britain It waa a visitor from out of
town who evidently had not had
much contact with Native Americans
and who expected that all Native
American people would have names
like the ones we see in popular
media ? you know the ones ? with
animals and birds and colors in tbem
(ix.. Standing Bear, Blackhawk or
Blue Cloud).
I tried to explain that Native
people in the East had been in contact
with Europeans for so long that quite
naturally some of the European names
came to be used as Indian names as
well. I pointed out that many other
eastern Indian groups, such as the
Cherokee, Iroquois and Choctaw, also
have many European surnames
among their people.
But the fact that Great Britain
would be the source of many of the
well-known Lumbee family names
is worth examining. ? More
specifically, many of those family
names come from Scotland Why
would that be?
During the 1700s, which is the
time when most North Carolina
Indians would have their first
opportunity to have their names (or
names given to them) written down
in lax. census and other records, a
flood of Europeans entered the colony.
People came from all of Great Britain
(England, Scotland. Ireland and
Wales) and in much smaller numbers
from Germany and France. But about
half of all the Europeans who
immigrated to North Carolina during
the 1700s were Scots.
Between 1734 and 1765 the
North Carolina colony had three
different governors who were
Highland Scots (Gabriel Johnston,
Mathew Rowan and Arthur Dobbs).
In an effort to attract inorc Scots to
North Carolina, Governor Johnston
passed a bill in 1740 which
exempted "foreign Protestants from
Publick or County taxes" during their
first ten years in the colony. Notice
of this new law was widely
distributed in Johnston's homeland,
the Scottish Highlands, and Scottish
folks poured into North Carolina
seeking a new and better life. A series
of draughts, crop f ailures and political
events had made Scotland a much
less pleasant place for the Scots
clansmen to live, and meanwhile
North Carolina was being portrayed
as "a New and Goodly Land of
Opportunity.'*
Beginning in 1732, and almost
every year thereafter, shiploads of
Highland Scots arrived in North
Carolina. Most of the land grants to
Scotsmen in what would become
Robeson County were made between
1755 and 1775. But many of these*
Scottish immigrants were Gaelic
speaking and poor (the so-called
Buckskin Scots), and found that they
lived in closer contact with the ,
Indians than with the wealthy
English-speaking landowners.
Names like Lowrie (later
spelled Lowery and Lowry), Blue,
Bell, Clark. Sampson. Brook (Brooke,
Brooks), Graham, Berry (Berrie),
Sanderson, Carter, Cummings,
McNeill, McMillan, Morrison,
Smith, Brewer. Burnett, Collins,
Cooper. Johnson. McGirt, Moore,'
Porter, Rogers, Scott, Taylor,
Thomas and Wood had all been
present in Scotland years before
Columbus. Before long these names
would also appear in the census and
tax records for Indian families in
eastern North Carolina.

Pembroke State University.

Modern medical science has developed some ?
wonderful high-tech, lifesaving devices. But for our -
everyday aches and pains, simple home remedies J
can often be just what the doctor ordered.'
Here's a cod idea for pulls and sprains that need T
cold applied to them immediately to keep swelling ?
down. Instead of fumbling with stubborn ice trays J
and ice cubes wrapped in dripping towels, use a bag |
or two of fcocen vegetables like corn or peas. They're ."J
cold, they're handy, they're sturdy and they can I*
easily be shaped to fit around whatever aches. f|
