Free African Americans of North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina, from the Colonial Period to about 1820
|
The NGS Monthly rarely mentions new books, but made an exception in October 2022 for "Paul Heinegg and the research he’s conducted over more than two decades, culminating in the recent publication of his sixth edition of the three-volume set, Free African Americans of North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina, from the Colonial Period to about 1820." What stands out is that while you can buy the book, FREE AFRICAN AMERICANS OF THE COLONIAL SOUTHEAST, or consult his website - for free! http://www.freeafricanamericans.com.

Valorie, I had overlooked your post about this earlier this month. Paul Heinegg’s web site is great, and I found a lot of information on Edward Mozingo, who married my Bayly ancestor’s sister Margaret in Old Rappahanock Co., Virginia before 1685. Kathryn Schultz

Following many records other than census; one can find many early (1600 – 1800) descriptions evolve from Negro/Free Negro/F.N. to Mullato to swartly to white. Swartly meant dark complexion, for example “swartly Irish”. FYI – Abraham Lincoln – Father was a “swartly German, his mother was Melungeon.

I also suggest a look into the Moor presence in the early Colony areas. A good reference book is “Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America”. Also studies in the North American Indian History. I recommend the book: “A New Order Of Things: Property, Power, and the Transformation of the Creek Indians” (1735-1816). Arab-Moors were often considered and confused as Black, etc.
