Black numenorean from well before the Fall of Numenor

I'm not sure if real black numenorians existed before the fall of Numenor. It's possible that either they're from a line of the Edain that stayed in Middle Earth, or that they were persuaded by Sauron to leave Numenor.
The Lord of the Nazgul and a couple of others, maybe including Gothmog who was second in command of the Tower of Minas Morgul, were descended from the Edain. I read in "Tolkien, Master of Middle Earth" that tLotN did not go to Numenor but since the author, Paul Rocher, did not back it up with evidence from Tolkien I can still only speculate.
The only other thing I know is that Khamul was an Easterling.
