There weren't necessarily free prior to joining.
Dunmore, the loyalist Governor of Virginia, offered freedom to slaves who came to the aid of the King. He did this, in part, to punish and rebuke the large Virginia land (and slave) holders who were in rebellion -- among whom were Washington and Jefferson.
The history surrounding this unit is rather sad too....beat up at the battle of Great Bridge, they would later be ravaged by disease aboard ship with Dunmore. In the end, the unit disbanded with only a handful of the original 300 or so members.
