Is Meade Skelton 50% Negro?

I read some place that Meade Skelton's father was a negro with his ancestors going all the way back to slavery in the 1600's in Virginia and the Carolinas.
This would explain Meade's dark complexion, black hair, brown eyes and his full lips and larger than average nose.

Why, yes he is. He is just not the uppity breed.

As cited in earlier posts, Meade Skelton claims a prolific lineage, and is descended from some of Virginia's "first" families. According to Meade, he is a descendent of the venerable Rowe family, and can even claim descent from a Patawomeck "weroance" or chieftain named Kocuom. There is even a possibility he is descended from the Powhatan Princess of American Lore named Pochahontas. The most intriguing (and possibly most embarrassing for Meade) aspect of his heritage is his lineage to one Anthony Johnson. Mr. Johnson would make history as being the first African Slave to not only obtain his freedom, but also start his own business ventures and even own slaves of his own. He was a sort of modern day Jay-Z. Mr. Johnson owned a plantation on the Great Naswattock Creek in Northhampton County Virginia. Anthony Johnson and his wife Mary had five children.
Johnson would eventually lose a substantial parcel of his property, almost 100 acres to a neighbor who claimed Johnson owed him an unspecified "debt". Johnson later relocated his family to Somerset Maryland, but his eldest son Frederick Johnson remained in the area and operated a modest but profitable grist mill in nearby Surry County, just across the Chesapeake bay. Frederick would marry and lay down family roots in Surry and within a generation would marry into the Rowe family. Meade's much celebrated five times separated grandfather George Rowe had a daughter named Jacinda who had scandalous affair with Negro merchant named Osiris Falston Johnson. Despite her father's disapproval, the couple eloped, kind of like in the Candyman movie and a child was born as a product of their love. The boy, named Myerton Rowe would never get to know the true identity of his father. Osiris Mysteriously was never heard from again once Mr. Rowe got wind of Jacinda's pregnancy. After paying a very sizable dowry, Rowe arranged for her daughter to be married off to a man of moderately affluent descent and as the rest they say is history.
