THE THURMOND HERITAGE FARM FAMILY NOTES INCLUDED THOSE OF MIXED RACE WHICH INCLUDED INDIAN BLOOD LINES OF THE 5 MAJOR TRIBES:
THURMOND WHICH MEANT THOR'S PROTECTION WAS USED AND ADOPTED NOT ONLY BY THE OLD DIXIE SOUTHERN COLONIES FOR THEIR OWNED SLAVES BUCKS AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN BUT ALSO THEIR BEAUTIFUL INDIAN WOMEN WHO SERVED AS HOUSE SLAVES AND THE INDIANS FOR CULLING TOBACCO CROPS.
FROM FAMILY RECORDS THE THURMOND'S NOT ONLY SETTLED IN NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA BUT ALONG MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN MISSISSIPPI, ARKANSAS, AND LOUISIANA. THERE WERE THURMONDS COMING OVER FROM EUROPE YET MIGRATING WITH THOSE OVER INTO MINNESOTA AND IOWA IN THE INDIAN TRIBES. ALL ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI STATES WE FIND THURMONDS AND THURMANS.
THERE WERE THE UP COUNTRY THURMONDS AND THURMANS BOTH OF THE SAME FAMILY AND FOLLOWED BACK TO ENGLAND AND UP TO NORWAY. NORWAY HAD A QUEEN IN THE ORIGINAL THURMOND CLAN. THE ORIGINAL INDIAN TRIBES FINALLY CHANGED THEIR NAME TO WHITE. THURMAN WHITE. THURMOND WHITE. RED WOLF WAS A CHIEF AND THE F. TRIBES ALL HAD THURMONDS INCLUDING THE SEMINOLE, CHEROKEE, CHEYENNE, SHAWNEE NOT NECESSARILY REGISTERED WITH THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS AS IT WAS CONSIDERED BLASPHEMY TO REGISTER SINCE THE THURMONDS OR PURE BLOOD WERE ASHAMED OF THEIR MIXED RACE FAMILIES OF INDIANS AND BLACKS. FAMILY TOTEMS AND RECORDS WERE KEPT BY THE INDIAN SIDE AND SOME SYMPATHETIC WHITE GRANDMOTHERS IN THE FAMILY BIBLES. ONE SUCH LEATHER BOUND BOOK WAS SOAKED IN A FLOOD AND ONLY BITS AND PIECES REMAINED. THIS ESTABLISHED RECOGNITION AS A HOLY BIBLE FOR A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED NAME OF THURMOND IN ALL THE FIVE (5) TRIBES UNDER AND WITH INCLUDING THE NAME OF WHITE IN THE CHEROKEE INDIAN TRIBE ACCORDING TO THIS BOOK AND THE FAMILY BIBLES OF SARA HEATH HARE AND THE JESSIE LEATHERWOOD FAMILY MARRIED/MARKED INTO THE BLACKS. THEREFORE THE NAME BLACK AND WHITE IS SYNONYMOUS WITHOUT HE NAME THURMOND OR THORMAN OR THURMAN WHICH TRACES BACK TO THURBER AND FOLLOWING THE NATHANIEL BURTON THURMOND BACK TO CHARLES FALCONER/FAULKNER PAST THE MISSISSIPPI FAMILY. MIDLAND FAMILIES CAME DOWN WITH THE TRIBES FROM UP COUNTRY TO MIDLAND THE SOUTH WAS A FRONTIER UNTIL EARLY IN THE 1800'S. THE COLONIES TO THE NORTH HAD AN UPPER CLASS AND THE SOUTH WAS FAST TO CREATE THEIR OWN WHICH OF COURSE WOULD NOT INCLUDE THE MULTI-RACES. JOHN LOCKE IS MENTIONED IN THE FAMILY NOTES AS DRAWING UP LAWS FOR KING CHARLES ii THE PLANTERS IN THE FAMILIES HAD OVERSEERS WHO WOULD OVER SEE THE INDIAN AND SLAVE PLANTATIONS. THE THURMONDS FROM EUROPE WERE SERIOUS ARISTOCRATS AND SETTLED MANY FARMS AND PLANTATIONS FROM CANADA TO LOUISIANA PURCHASE OR ALL CONSIDERED LOUISIANA AT ONE TIME. THIS LINGERED AND MET THE SOUTHERN AND EAST FAMILIES WHO INTERMARRIED. ALTHOUGH IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT STROM THURMOND CLAIMS ALL THE RELATIVES WHO WERE THURMONDS, THURMANS, ALTHOUGH TRACED BACK FAR ENOUGH ALL THURMONDS ARE RELATED DOWN TO ENGLAND FROM GERMANY, SWEDEN, AND NORWAY! THE FAMILY HAD A QUEEN AND A PRINCESS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND A MOUNTAIN PASS WAS NAMED AFTER THE FAMILY AND THE PRINCESS IN THE MOUNTAIN PASSES WHICH WAS KEPT IN FAMILY FOLKLORE. A FAMILY CREST AND A TOTEM WAS MADE WITH A PHOENIX AND THROUGHOUT GERMANY A DOUBLE LION HEAD. THIS EVOLVED IN A SPLIT FAMILY CREST WITH THE RICHMANS AND BOLTONS IN ENGLAND WHO INTERMARRIED WITH THE THURMONDS. THE MONEY AND THE FAMILIES INTERMIXED WHIT HE IRISH AND SCOTTS WHILE IN EUROPE. ALL THE FAMILIES PURE BLOODS IN ENGLAND DID NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE FAMILIES OF THE NORTH FROM SWEDEN AND NORWAY AS THEY CONSIDERED THEM VIKINGS AND HEATHENS THUS THE NAME HEATH IN ENGLAND!
