I do not mean to usurp ST's answer.

However, It is thought I have Melungeon ancestors also. From my research, I think they were Portuguese sailors who were marooned in America from shipwreck. They moved inland to the mountains and intermarried with native tribes.

They often called themselves Port-o-gee and is felt it is a form of the name "Portuguese". That may be where the "gee" comes from in Melungeon. The first part may be part of the tribal name.
