Answer 1

In January 3 1624, the first African-American birth was recorded. William Tucker, the first Black child born (recorded) in the American colonies, was baptized in Jamestown, Virginia.

Two of the first Africans to be brought to North America in 1619 were simply called Anthony and Isabella they were married and in 1624 gave birth to the first Black child born in English America naming him William Tucker in honor of a Virginia Planter. After 1619, all Africans brought into the colonies were sold as slaves.

Answer 4

It's more likely a white person, born in Africa would be referred to by their country of origin instead. For example, "white South African" or "white Ugandan" or "white Kenyan". The idea of saying "white African-American" gives the PC crowd a bad case of heartburn.
