This is a good question. My Dad said we were Dutch Irish. From what i have read and heard, here is what I know.

The Dutch Irish were actually Scots Irish immigrants, who came to the new world through Philadelphia. They eventually settled in Pennsylvania Dutch Country....hence, Dutch Irish. Some were indentured servants. After earning their freedom or just leaving, they settled in the central and southern mountains of Appalachia.

While I grew up in Detroit, my folks grew up in the Western NC mountains.
