Start with the Lexington Public Library and see what resources they might have that will help. I visited there recently when I was passing through the area and found some research by others that had been donated to the library. I know many genealogists are careful to look out for clues that might help those researching their African American roots.
African Americans in the South can be problematic but look into the census and see if you can't find some clues.
