Albinism.

In the 1860 slave schedule of Wilson township, Wilson County, Larry Dew described two teenaged boys he enslaved, aged 16 and 19, as albino (and mulatto).

Twenty-three years later, Theophilus Barnes reported that a black woman on his farm had four children with albinism — two boys and two girls.

Wilson Advance, 30 November 1883.
