Their names were Anthony and Isabella. They came to Virginia in 1619 and were sold at Fort Monroe to Captain William Tucker (who they named their son after). They got married in 1624 and had William baptized on January 3rd, 1624 in Jamestown.
There are a lot of different answers. There was about 7 William tuckers. 1: A freeman who was the first African American born in the American Colonies. 2: A twentieth century guitar player. 3: New Zealand's first art dealer. 4: Civil War Confederate Brigadier General. 5: A modernist British sculptor. 6: A professor of psychology. 7: A settler of Hawkes Bay. AND MY DAD!!!!
First, it should be noted that the term "African-American" is fairly recent. Back in the time of the colonies, the word used was "Negro." One of the first Negroes we know about was Phillis Wheatley, a slave who was taught to read and write by the family in Boston who purchased her. She went on to become a well-respected poet, beginning in the 1760s. Another well-known Negro was Crispus Attucks, a free man who was killed in the Boston Massacre. Another black man who lived around that time and became prominent was a Mason and an abolitionist named Prince Hall. But unfortunately, since most of the slaves who were brought to the colonies were not well-known, and even most of the free black men and women were rarely mentioned by the press, it is difficult to know who was living in the colonies and who was not. Thus, it is also difficult to accurately answer this question.
That was Virginia Dare, born on 18 August 1587 on Roanoke Island. Well actually Virginia Dare was the first English child born in North America but the question is Who was the first African American child born in the colonies and it was William Tucker
unfortunately nobody can answer this question. people with dark skin pigments or (black) did not come only from Africa. many blacks have origins from Australia and other places around Egypt. however the main stream theory is pointing towards Africa.

William Tucker's parents were the slaves Anthony and Isabella. Their last namesare unknow. They came to Virginia in 1619 by the English Sea Captain, William Tucker. Anthony and Isabella got married in 1623 and had William Tucker in 1624.
Agustin, son of slaves Agustin and Francisca, was the first documented African-American, born in St. Augustine in 1606 (before Jamestown was even founded). Others have answered William Tucker (born free in Jamestown in 1923) which ignores the fact that the British colonies were preceded on American soil by Spanish colonies.
