Octoroon and quadroon were obscure terms in the 20th century but Yerby was 
writing a period novel. Mulatto lingered on. The terms were more accurate 
than current usage. Harris would be a quadroon, I think, although Indian 
ethnicity wasn't considered back then. Obama would be a mulatto. 

Yerby himself was part black. In the US the 'one drop rule' has been stood 
on its head. In the 19th century people of mostly white ancestry were 
white. In the 20th century any black parentage made you black, for 
discriminatory purposes. In the latter part of the 20th century being 
black had advantages so the scales went the other way. Then there are the 
ones like Dolezal.
