I have a copy of the 1850 population schedule, slave index and mortality schedule for Franklin County, NC. I am surprised at the number of free mulatto and Black households. I have counted 86 of 1115 households headed by mulattos or Blacks. A few owned land. I am willing to do look-ups. E-mail me directly with your requests.
