We-Sorts is an archaic nickname for people of "mixed-race" origins who currently claim descent from the Piscataway Native American population in Charles County, Maryland. Today, one can find many people, particularly with the surnames Proctor, Savoy, Queen, Butler, Thompson, Swann (and others) who have that heritage, with appearance suggesting a mixture of European, Native American and Black American ancestry in the minds of many.
