The ethnicity for Benjamin Bolling shows Melungeon. Where is the truck-racial heritage coming from if he’s not a descendant of Pocahontas? Is this just a matter of the profile not being updated?

written by the 3rd son, who presumably knew who his siblings were.

It’s been stated multiple times in this profile that Benjamin was not the son of John and Elizabeth. What’s right? I’ve read that the dna tests prove he isn’t a descendant of Pocahontas
