No, he wasn't black, neighter where his parents. If they callled him 'the black boy' for some reason, then that reason can't be found in his skin color.

He was also described as a tall black man in a wanted poster and James Boswell calls him the swarthy Stuart next to at least three engravings which show a black man.
