He died by 1790 when his wife Elizabeth was enumerated as head of household in Stokes, NC; (sons Newman and William are enumerated on the same page).^[1] A possible additional son, George, was also enumerated in the 1790 census in Stokes. See below.

This is an interesting read for any descendant of the Sizemore family of the Appalachia. I am not a Sizemore, but I am of French and Indian ancestry. The French term Mélangeon, pleural of Métis has been used historically to describe anyone of mixed ancestry that includes an Indian component.

The 2,000 member “Whitetop Laurel Band of Cherokees,” founded sixty years after the Trail of Tears, and nine years before the Eastern Band of Cherokees in 1905. There are comments from many descendants of "Old Ned" Sizemore. jg [Jannie Gorman?]
