There are a number of examples of white women marrying black men in colonial New England—but one really has to dig to find them. Not just because of racial taboos then and in subsequent decades, but also because those families tended to be the working poor, the least documented class.

I can’t think of any examples of white men marrying black women. But perhaps there are some of those, too.
