There is no way of telling. There were always plenty around. Most were the children of slaveholding white men and black slave women. But not all. As related in the book, "An imperfect god : George Washington, his slaves, and the creation of America" by Henry Wiencek, it sometimes went the other way. A person was a slave if his mother was a slave. As long as all the mixed people had slave mothers, it was neat and tidy. But if a white woman bore a black man's child, the child would be free, but then how could anyone tell the slaves from the free mulattos? It wasn't terribly common, but it was common enough to be a problem for slave society.
