For the 1880 census, enumerators asked residents questions across several categories, including occupation, health, education, and nativity. Listed by column number, the following information was gathered:
1.Number of dwelling home, in order of visitation by the enumerator
2.Number of family, in order of visitation by the enumerator
3.Name
4.Color
Enumerators were to mark "W" for White, "B" for Black, "Mu" for Mulatto, "C" for Chinese [a category which included all east Asians], of "I" for American Indian
Apparently, James Evans brought (not bought!) Mary Hoggard from North Carolina and married her in Missouri where they raised their family. This makes sense, since this part of Missouri would have been “Free.”
This photo speaks volumes of the kind of dilemma a black mother married to a white man found herself in during the 19th century. This couple were married in Clinton County, Missouri, went by the surname Evans, and would have approximately 3000 descendants today.
◾The children are mulatto but 100% passable. The time, right around the Civil War. The choice the children had was really no choice. Quite simply, either they turned their backs on the mother and leave the state or be classified as Negro and endure Jim Crow for the rest of the lives.
The mother is clearly not thrilled with the photograph. I think she was forced to sit for it by her husband. She appears to be thinking it’s not a very good idea, that the photo could prove an embarrassment to her children. Indeed, it could prove an embarrassment to all her descendants 200 years into the future. -

Your opinion is inconsequential like trying to pass a mutt for a purebred.
The English term "mulatto" is derived from the Spanish and Portuguese mulato. The origin of mulato is uncertain. The term may derive from mula (current Portuguese word, from the Latin mūlus), meaning mule, the hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey.

What race is mulatto?
Mulatto (from Spanish mulato, small mule) is a word referring to a person who is born to one Black parent and one Caucasian parent. The term may be considered offensive or rude to some, because of its origin.
Historically in the context of slave societies of the Americas, a quadroon or quarteron was a person with one quarter African and three quarters European ancestry (or in the context of Australia, one quarter aboriginal ancestry). The terms are now archaic.
Similar classifications were octoroon for one eighth black (Latin root octo-, means "eight") and hexadecaroon for one sixteenth black. -
