Hi Howard,
As suggested - 1870 is a good place to start.And the first place to start is with AA's surnamed PARKER - although not all will have kept that name by 1870 - some will.
Suggest you post the names from wills estate records to the Afrigeneas slave research forum:
http://www.afrigeneas.com/forumd/http://www.afrigeneas.com/forumd/
because most AA's online attempting to document their ancestors during the slave period wind up there - and it is also a place that many descendants of slave owners are posting data from wills and estate records to help folks break through the "brick wall".
Here's some starter info from 1870:
African-Americans|in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census
Surname,Given Name,Age,Gender,Race,Birthplace,State,County,Locality,Series,Roll,Part,Page
PARKER,ANNIE,2,F,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,702
PARKER,COMFORT,70,F,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,838
PARKER,EDWARD,66,M,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,838
PARKER,JAMES,40,M,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,702
PARKER,JAMES,35,M,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,726
PARKER,JAMES,26,M,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,709
PARKER,JOHN,70,M,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,724
PARKER,JOHN,15,M,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,701
PARKER,SARAH,23,F,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,817
PARKER,STEPHEN,31,M,B,MD,MD,WORCESTER,SNOW HILL P O,M593,599,1,697
Do any of these first names match information you have?
If you post the names from records and ages from the slave schedules - I should be able to quickely ascertain any matches - using the 1870 AA index.I am doing this for all of the folks listed in Loudoun county VA and have had a lot of success.
Thanks for taking the plunge :)
Wish that there were more folks like you who were willing to share this information.
