I'm pretty sure they are apart of the Hairston family.

They are "hairstons" I dont think they are from the hairston family.

They are. Go to 00:57 -- and they talk about it.



The Hairstons traces the complex lineage and fascinating legacy of one of America's largest families. Henry Wiencek explores the lives of black and white members of the Hairston clan, as they have accepted each other as one family, easing the historical divide between the races, and reveals how Southern families have been affected by slavery's legacy and by the burden it continues to carry. Visiting family reunions, interviewing family members, and exploring old plantations, Wiencek combs the far-reaching branches of the Hairston family tree to gather anecdotes from members about their ancestors and piece together a family history that involves the experiences of both plantation owners and their slaves. He expertly weaves the Hairstons' stories from all sides of historical events like slave emancipation, Reconstruction, school segregation, and lynching. For example, from a black Hairston, Wiencek learns of a slave who burned rail fences to cook a hog for his starving comrades; white Hairstons record the incident as an act of slave indolence, a way to hinder the next day's work.

As Wiencek tells the stories of individual Hairstons, he uncovers the layers of a shared history at times painful, shameful, extraordinary, and joyful. Beautifully describing the land of the South and faithfully recounting what he has been told, Wiencek testifies that he "heard history not as a historian would write it but as a novelist would imagine it." The dynamic stories in The Hairstons are not solely one family's legacy but a record that reflects America's complicated process of healing and understanding the mark of slavery. --Amy Wan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

When they go into detail, they say their people are from the Hairston plantation but doesn’t sound like they are actual Hairston descendants. They said their great great grandfather was an overseer there by the name of Cheatham from Ireland and he had relations with a Hairston slave by the name of Hodge.

Don't know. Don't trust those companies with my DNA. I'm dark AF like Lance Gross with 4C hair I'd say it's definitely less than 10 and likely closer to 5. My parents are dark as well. I'm told we orginated in the Congo region by my great grandmother.

But these muhfukkas on stage are 58% Afro 41% Euro according to their DNA results.

You can be really dark skin with black features and still have way more than 10% non-black ancestry. Phenotype doesn't always correlate to genotype.

If you're a native black american then chances are you're close to 20% non-black (if not more).

Only people who have less than 10% non-African ancestry are typically located in West and Central Africa.

Huh?

Being a "Hairston" - means their ancestors were enslaved on one of the MANY Hairston plantations. It also means that some - not all -- after Emancipation kept the Hairston surname.

As you know, the Hairstons had more than a few plantations -- and they (Hairstons) and their other white staff were raping and violating enslaved Black women. They also had Black people who were thankfully not violated -- but the history of the Hairstons is they all stayed around eachother -- and how all the descendants of those who were enslaved -- still get together to this day. The Hairston's have a unique story - have had issues and reunions after Emancipation -- that is why the family is known.

Check out the book to learn more.


The Hairston family was one of the largest slave owning families in colonial and pre-Civil War Virginia. Starting in 1730, when Peter Hairston and his four sons arrived from Scotland, the Hairstons amassed a vast tobacco farming empire that eventually encompassed 45 plantations and farms in four states. Eleven of those plantations were in southern Virginia. By the Civil War the Hairstons had substantial landholdings in the Virginia counties of Henry, Pittsylvania, Patrick, and Franklin, in the North Carolina counties of Stokes, Davie, and Davidson, and in Mississippi.

At one time the Hairstons -- or "Harstons" as the white side of the family pronounces it -- were the Rockefellers of the old South. They owned not one but dozens of plantations, and thousands of slaves. The descendants of those slaves are now a huge family scattered across America. And yet they still have a powerful connection to each other, and to the plantations where their ancestors toiled. A Family In Black And White
