Is that the same dialect used by the hoi toiders?

It's similar. One of the theories behind the Lumbee people is that they descended from the Lost Colony, so that could be the connection.

This is another classic Robeson County story that still gets talked about all the time.

And with that, I'll let the thread return to its intended purpose. DF07 and I just had to make sure you #youngbloods knew what was up when you went down east.

My wife works with an organization that has a TON of members with the last names Oxendine and Locklear. All seem to be from the eastern part of the state. Very interesting!

They are, without question, Lumbee Indians. Any Chavises?

Yes! And there are quite a few Lowery. Most are Locklear, then Chavis, then Oxendine, then Lowery.

Then Hunt.

Maybe some named Quick.

 

[deacfan78]

Yes. Quite a few Hunt's as well. Any other names?

Watch this video, they do a good job of explaining it:

The way I understood it when I watched the video a while back is that it's like an average or a limit, somehow. The other sets made sense that way at least.

I could be totally wrong but if they said... 0+1-1+1-1+1-1 etc., it would vary between 0 and 1 and they'd call it 1/2. Somehow the way they add the sets oscillates or averages out to be -1/12 while the actual number, if you add up a finite number, would be an extremely large finite number. If you take infinite numbers, they call the average -1/12.

Just watch teh video, it's really interesting/good and I believe they post links to the more complicated versions of the proofs if you're interested in that too.
