Where would one start in searching for a family member that had been born into slavery? The reason I'm asking is that I've been researching my gggrandfather Tom Underwood b: abt 1839, whom family says definitely was born into slavery. Haven't been able to find anything on him. Except census information I've acquired from the Bulloch County area, for the 1900s & 20's. Says he was married to one Clarissa Baldwin b: abt 1860. There children were: Dock, Fannie, Walter, Riley, Mattie Lue, and Rueben. Looking for his parents & sibling information and what plantation he may have been on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced. Angela Underwood-Markes
