Hi Louise,
I just don't know.I have heard many reasons why the early Bazemores were counted as mulattos and then later white.Some have told me yes the Bazemores were early free mulattos, some have said that that many of the Bazemores came from Barbados and were dark complected, some have said the census are following different lines, and some have told me that some of early Bazemores were American Indian and that back then, they had no way to record the Indian population living in the area, so Indians were counted as mulattos.Whichever is true, we Bazemore descendants certainly have a rich and proud history.
