I don’t know if Mary’s father was of the white Texadas or if he was a black man who just got their last name because they owned his ancestors (there are black people with that last name in Rapides Parish). Everybody else mentioned was listed as Negro or Colored.

Are you sure her father was part African-American? Remember Lionel Richie’s wife.
There is information about Lionel Richie’s wife’s father, however, none of that can be verified.
In which sense? He was Greek.
Btw Tracey’s father looked like a regular “black” man after all…: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DJkbGt6U8AAgBXe.jpg?format=jpg&name=small
