  of 1666

hope some one has some thing they can please share on this early free black family in Sunbury Northumberland CO PA

births-deaths- marriages any thing

I can only search for free the 1860 to 1920 census

So I am not sure were James WASHINGTON

Whats interesting as early as 1860 the only free black family in Sunbury PA

I beleive they were of a mix race or light skin since they were marked as Mulatto in a few early census records

James WASHINGTON has a small estate and in 1870 its fairly large for a black family

he owns his own home

he can read and write

some of his children attend school

hes a barber

other names that I have found married into family

PATTERSON and MONTIER

there are very few black people in that area

thank you

Jeanie
