THE JACKSON WHITES

THERE IS A TOWN IN UPPER NEW JERSEY WHICH WAS FOUNDED
BY REVOLUTIONARY WAR DESERTERS. LATER ON, THIS TOWN
WAS INFILTRATED BY RUNAWAY SLAVES. THE DESCENDANTS
OF THE DESERTERS AND THE SLAVES INTERMARRIED AND FORMED
A CLOSED SOCIETY, BASED ON INTERMARRIAGE. THESE
"JACKSON WHITES" STILL EXIST TODAY AND HAVE RESORTED
TO KIDNAPPINGS OF SMALL INFANTS TO KEEP THE
GENERATIONS FROM DYING OUT. RUMORS HAVE IT, THAT
THEY MURDER, AND RAPE ANY OUTSIDER WHO TRIES TO
INTERFERE INTO THEIR ACTIVITIES.
