<i>Mongrel Virginians: The Win Tribe</i>, by A.H. Estabrook and I.E. McDougle, typescript corresponding to pp16-19 of book, w/ hand-written pseudonyms

11 All these people lived on or near [obscured, handwriting illegible] Mountain, about seven miles west of [obscured, handwritten above]Ab Courthouse in [obscured, handwritten above]Ab County. Their children intermarried with each other, with a few of the white families nearby and a few matings, of an illegitimate nature, took place with the negroes, some who were slaves and some free, the latter being spoken of as "the free issue." The early mixture of the Indian and the white and their settlement on [obscured, handwritten illegible] Mountain, in an isolated area, caused them to be separated socially from the white folks of the country who looked down upon them because of the mixture. It has also been said that the negroes have always looked down upon the mixture, especially in the earlier period when there were slaves in the state. This race feeling [strikeout]has[end strikeout] caused further segregation until after a period these [obscured] and [obscured][handwritten beneath]Browns and Jones came to be considered a separate group and the name [obscured, handwritten above]Win weas[strikeout] given to them. Althought[sic] the family group might be considered as the descendants of one William [obscured, handwritten above]Brown, who lived at one time in [obscured, handwritten above]Ab County, Virginia, and later went away, the Indian-white [obscured, handwritten]Brown and [obscured, handwritten]Jones.
