Title: A Free Mulo
Post by: suzilad on Friday 14 June 13 21:30 BST (UK)

I have found a relative of mine in Barbados births referred to as a free mulo.


Am I right in thinking this means mullato -- a person of mixed race.

Thanks,

suzilad

Yes I would think "Mulo" was short for mulatto and "free" in this context would mean not a slave.
