I am trying to find early references to children of mixed race appearing in
the population of Virginia.  That is, when did people begin to talk about
this as an issue.  I know that even in the 1600s enslaved African females
were coming ashore pregnant from having been raped by ship's crew but, other
than the reference, no discussion of what this meant.  Testosterone being
what it is, and availability and the inability to say no being what it must
have been, mixed race children had to have been a social factor very early.
But I haven't found the references.  Many thanks to any list member who has
guidance to hand.
