Hiram Revels

Revels lived his entire life as a black man. He never claimed Lumbee ancestry, nor is it in any of the scholarly biographies of Revels. There really is no serious debate on this among the experts.Verklempt (talk) 21:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

He could not have claimed to be Lumbee, because there was no such thing as a Lumbee Indian at that time. I do not know what he self identified as, but there have been several instances where he was called a Croatan. One of which is in the Mcpherson report, which you already know about Verklempt. Another is, "REMARKS OF HON. JOHN D. BELLAMY, OF NORTH CAROLINA, IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1900." In part he stated,"...One of them filled the position of United States Senator from one of our sister Southern States..."

Regardless, Hiram, like Henry Berry Lowrie, should not be listed because our people were not known by the Lumbee name anyway.--Roskerah (talk) 04:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Henry disappeared almost 70 years prior to our people being called Lumbee. Every book, newspaper, and magazine associated Henry with the Tuscarora Nation, of which the Lumbee people of today primarily descend. Never the less, Henry should not be listed as a Lumbee. I say we remove him completely from the list, or at a minimum, add text to explain this situation more clearly. --Roskerah (talk) 04:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Just because her last name is Locklear does not make her a Lumbee. She was born in Westwood, CA.

No one said it does. It is sourced in the article that she claims Lumbee ancestry. That's far more relevant than your opinions about her ancestry based on where she was born. Sundayclose (talk) 23:49, 18 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
