I am interested in your Black name. All I know is my Thomas Black originated in North Carolina or South Carolina. I know he was in Meriwether Ga in 1850 and dead by 1860. My grandfather was a Issac Russell Black born in 1843 in Ga. His father died and he was raised by a African American family. I was told he was Irish but was raised by African Americans. I have often wondered if he could have been malatto. Any data would be appreciated. Elaine s88897@aol.com
