Hi Clarence. I am a distant relative of John Chavis Walden1 (born around 1720) and John Chavis Walden2 born 1742, etc. They switched their surnames back & forth (at times) Chavis to Walden & Walden to Chavis, etc. Paul Heinegg's book in stores now at a costly fee (5th edition) & currently an older version on line (if you're able to access it): www.freeafricansamericans.com - could be helpful to you. It provides various families who were declared " free People of color" various southern states: Maryland, S. Carolina, N. Carolina & Virginia. You might want to check out the CHAVIS & WALDENs listed in order to get some historical information. I found the information very helpful.
