Is is anyone aware of any free negroes or other persons of  color in the

In 1736 the Richmond County court discharged James Talent, a white servant, 
from the service of Anthony Morgan because he was a "Mulatto." [Orders 
17:394].

On 20 April 1775 a white woman named Mary Scandling was discharged from her 
indenture to George Jones by the Halifax County, Virginia court because 
George was a "free Mulatto." In February 1777 the court bound Mary's 
daughter Macklin Scandling to George Jones.

On 19 November 1778 George deposed that he had been riding on a horse with 
Mary Scandling when they met Lucretia Macklin on the road. Lucretia insulted 
him, tried to strike him with a stick about the size of his arm, and struck 
Mary Scandling instead--resulting in Mary's death soon after [Halifax County 
Pleas 1774-9, 109, 193, 379]. (George Jones and Lucretia Macklin, a "free 
Mulatta," were both from York County).

Thomas Day, the North Carolina cabinetmaker, employed white carpenters (as 
well as slaves) in his factory from 1823-1858, and John DeBaptist employed a 
white clerk (in his business in Fredericksburg) who ran away with his wife 
according to an ad De Baptist placed in a Delaware newspaper on 17 July 
1790.
