Which area were driggers associated with?
Driggers Driggers is a surname. It arrives from Celtic descent, and is thought to be a name given to "Dredge Diggers" and slowly changed to Driggers. It is also believed to be a branch of the "Rodriguez" surname in the Southern United States, beginning with Emmanual Rodriguez. Emmanual Rodriguez is believed to have been an African settler in Virginia. Today in the Southern United States, Driggers can be found in descendants of tri-racial isolate groups such as the Brass Ankles, Lumbee, and Melungeon as well as distinct Native American groups in the Southeast such as the Catawba.
Vinland Vinland, Vineland or Winland (Old Norse: "Vínland" ) is the area of coastal North America explored by Norse Vikings, where Leif Erikson first landed in c. 1000, approximately five centuries prior to the voyages of Christopher Columbus and John Cabot. "Vinland" was the name given to North America as far as it was explored by the Vikings, presumably including both Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence as far as northeastern New Brunswick (where the eponymous grapevines are found).
