  First of all...I'm terribly sorry to say this, but by those two last names and what nationality you stated, I can't really help. It appears your ancestors were slaves, due to the last names. (After the slaves were free in the Civil War, they took on the last name of the person who "owned" them). Another helpful tip is that most slaves back then were partially white....
  Sorry I couldn't be more help
