I would like to interject my family research into this discussion.

While this particular set of ancestors were not FPOC's and did not become 'free' in the State of Virignia they did become FPOC's in Canada due to the Simcoe Act and Canada's process of gradual emancipaption ..... another story.

This statement ..... "On page 37: "The children belong to the master of the woman that bears them; and such as are born of a Negroe and an European are called Molattoes; but such as are born of an Indian and Negroe are called Mustees." .... and the statement that of the Pamunkey Indians who mixed with AA's seems to fit my personal genealogy.

This set of ancestors were slaves belonging to the family of Rene LaForce of Goochland Co., VA. They had been slaves to the LaForce family from ca the 1730's-1740's. The LaForce's and my ancestors, 13 in number, migrated in 1779 from Goochland Co., VA to a part of western VA, which becomes Bourbon Co., KY. The slaves were the children and grandchildren of what I suspect to be a 'dower' slave of Agnes Moseby LaForce named Betty/Bess.

They remained slaves of the LaForce family until 24 June 1780 and the British/Shawnee raid on Martin's Station during the Revolutionary War. The LaForce slaves along with the other captives from Martin's Station, said to be 400 in number, were then marched to Ontario, Canada. The slave family was then split/divided among the British Loyalists and their Shawnee allies.

Here is a transcribed account from the Draper Manuscripts that I believe concurs with the above statement's of the children of mixed heritage (Indian & AA) belonging to the slave owning family and that these children are of possible Pamunkey heritage as that was the predominant tribe in their Goochland county surroundings.
====================================
From the Draper Manuscripts:

Rev. John D. Shane's Interview with George Bryan (Draper MSS 22C16[25])

"A Mr. Laforce, came out in 1779. An Indian had a wife of the Mulatto woman Hannah belonging to Mrs. Laforce. She, Agnes LaForce came to Riddle's
Station just before it was taken. On their way out, her husband,Rene
LaForce, died at the Big - or Flat Lick, (known by either name,) 7 miles
this side of Cumberland ford. The Indian's children [Kandis, Job, Grace,
Rachel, Patrick?] had pretty blue eyes, skin neither black, red, nor white,
kinked hair - &c. They were taken prisoner. One of the children now lives in Missouri."
========================================
Hannah the mulatto woman mentioned above as belonging to Mrs. LaForce was the daughter of Betty/Bess.
