According to Genealogy History & Marshall "Dancing Elk" Lucas, descendant. Wilmore Males son was listed in the Rev pension rolls as "Colored" at that time "Colored" meant a person who was Non-White and did not necessarily mean they were of Arfrican origin, Although Wm Maile was listed as Colored. His Father was married to Elizabeth Cockett, a "Welsh Woman" and was married at - St. James the Apostle. A small church a block away from "Dover Castle" that catered to The Barons. Later acoording to "Garrett County Gazette" an article from "The Bray Sale", Stated, "How remarketly the "Males" showed their Indian Heritage". Most of the mayle chirdlren were born in England and seems to be already of Indian heritage before arriving to America. There is no genealogical evidence that at that time the Mayles had any negro ancestry and it is common Knowledge that the Males marrid into the Norris (CHEROKEE - DELAWARE) and Harris ( CATAWBA- SAPONI) Families. To this day these families still exist and many still show there Indian Ancestry and follow their Native Culture.

While this is interesting if true, it needs to be backed up by citing a checkable source (and also to be cleaned up in terms of grammar and POV). Perodicticus 18:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
