Hi Shawn,
This might be a wild goose chase, however it might turn out to be something... There's a story in my family that my great-great grandma, Susan Latta - a white woman living in Orange County North Carolina, ran away with a black man sometime after 1880.No one knows where they went or if they had any children.There were two black men that worked on her farm, William Cameron and James Forsythe.We know of them because they were listed on the US Census Household record for 1880.At the time William was 21 and James was 14.I'm not sure if this information will help you, but wanted to offer it just in case.
