Is the word "quartronne" for 1/16 black ancestry correct?

An article called "Beyond Black and White: Cultural Approaches to Race and Slavery" (by Ariela Gross from the Columbia Law Review (Vol. 101, No. 3 (Apr., 2001), pp. 640-690 doi:10.2307/1123740) lists a "quartronne" as a person with 1/4 black ancestry, presumably the equivalent to a "quadroon" but I have no idea if that's correct or not, and if so this case here seems to be a quote from a historical legal document so it needs a little more attention.

1) If the term "quartronne" is actually correct-- it should be hyperlinked to the page "quadroon" which outlines these specific Louisiana historical terms, especially since this one comes from such an important legal case about a famous woman. The term should be added to the "quadroon" list as well and defined.

2) If the term is used incorrectly in the document--- there needs to be a mention of the mistake in the document itself, and still a hyperlink needs to be made.
