*The names Bullard and Ivey could have been White or Lumbee Indian. However, the name Ivey was included in those "riotiously assembled" in a petition of complaint by Archibald McKissack, Justice of the Peace. Note that four new "Lumbee" names, Bell, Hunt, Ransom and Revels, are added although deeds indicate that Ransom had long been in the area.
Note that Lumbee settlers commonly had the typical or median amount of land, 100 to 200 acres, commonly given in Bladen (Robeson) land grants to White settlers. Simon Ransom, with 875 acres, and James Lowry, through whose hands about a thousand acres passed, were wealthy in land holdings. Many early Lumbee settlers were not "poor."
This list is abstracted from among Robeson County records in the North Carolina Archives, Raleigh, N .C.
