"Fraunces was nicknamed "Black Sam", leading to the assumption by some that he was black. After extensive research by Fraunces Tavern Museum, however, no primary source that substantiates the belief that Samuel Fraunces was of African descent has been uncovered, while there is evidence to believe otherwise. Other than the appearance of the nickname, there are no known references where Fraunces was described as a black man. In the Federal Census for 1790, he was listed as a free, white head-of-household. He was also a member of the elite Trinity Church in New York City and a registered voter."
