It is believed that the first black baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was Elijah Abel, who was baptized in 1832. He was ordained an Elder and a Seventy and served three times as a missionary.
Elijah Abel's children were some of the only exceptions to the ban on blacks in the Mormon Priesthood. His son and grandson were ordained as elders in 1900 and 1935.
In 1860, it was estimated that 60 of the 60,000 Mormons were black.

Why did the Presbyterian or Mormon church not admit people of color prior to the 20 first centery?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has always accepted people of color into it's membership. It did not allow black men of African descent to be ordained to the priesthood for a period between the 1840's and 1970's. The church has never given an official reason. I cannot speak for the Presbyterian church.
