Hello Becky, Just now getting to your message. I've been swamped the last few days. Yes, the only Freeman in Chatham Co. was a mulatto woman named Fanny age 20, who lived in what looked like a boarding house. She was probably the housekeeper. Yes, many of the folks in Chatham went to Montgomery Co. (maybe the gold mines, I don't know) but they did and so much of the Montgomery Co. records are missing!! As to the 1830-1840 census. You will have to subscribe or use a free 30 day trial subscription to ancestry.com and look at them. I just haven't finished them. But, as I have a subscription already, I looked at the index and see a Lewis and John in Chatham in 1840. One on pg. 185 and one on pg. 195 Both of them are free persons of Color. The ones in 1830 are also. Are you African American or mixed blood? If so, these may be yours. If not, I would imagine those white Freeman males in Montgomery Co. in 1830 and 1840 are yours. Some of the White Freemans in the 1815 tax list are still in the county in the 1820 census. Richard, Jeremiah George, Henry, Lewis Freeman is the only FPC in Chatham, then. O.K.? Hope this helps.
