Patricia,
Sorry I can't speak to the question you raise. Jewel Moore MASON m. a MONCURE from Blackstone, Nottoway Co. VA, That's how she comes to the name Jewel Mason MONCURE.
I know nothing of the Moncure family except what I've learned from the VA MASON family. Many families migrated west and south from VA with all the variations that comes with migration and slavery. I can say with surety that the VA connection from the 1900's is not interracial and I can't speak to any other Moncure connections outside of VA. May well be that there are black VA Moncures, but I just don't know...
I began this surname list to find my VA MASON family who I'm amazed to report are alive and well and prospering. The Moncure family in Blackstone still runs an insurance agency there and may have connections to a Moncure family buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, VA, tho I haven't explored this and don't need to. The Moncure line is tangent to my MASON family which is actually tangent to my MOORE family...(phew!)
Happy Hunting and Good Luck in your search,
Peter Ramsey
