In May 1992 the Charlottesville "Daily Progress" carried an article about
a recently deceased UVA professor whose will, it was revealed, stipulated
that his heirs would be disinherited if he/she married a person who was
more than 1/120 black.  I don't know how many generations you'd have to go
back to ascertain that, and I don't know if his heirs had to provide such
documentation.
