Anna,
Anna,
I was looking for James Gross and Nancy Parker in the 1860 Census, to see
if
they were listed with their parents, but found neither one. I found Nancy
with the children Minnie Bell and Lou Emma in 1880. James was not with
them, but there was a James Gross, age 28, living not far away as a
farmhand. I am guessing that that was him. All were listed as "black."
There were 104 Parkers listed in Ancestry's 1870 Census Index for
Dorchester
County, much more than half of them black. In 1860, there were only 69 in
the Dorchester County Census Index. Most likely there were many more
black
Parkers there in 1860, but many were probably slaves and not listed on the
regular census. You may already know the answer, but there is a good
chance
that James and Nancy were both born as slaves.
There were separate slave schedules recorded in many states, including
Maryland, in 1850 and 1860. Ancestry has the 1850 Slave Schedule, but I
could not find the 1860 Schedule, so that is something you can look for
when
you come to Maryland.
I found this at Ancestry:
"Most of the countywide slave schedules list the names of the slave owners
only; however some enumerators chose to list the first names of individual
slaves on their lists. A researcher must view each countywide slave
schedule to see if the names of slaves are shown or not."
There was one slave owner in 1850 Dorchester County named Parker, (John
D.)
He had 2 slaves, neither named in the schedule.
I have never done African-American or slave research. When you check the
research facility web sites I sent you, look for that, and be sure to
check
the Pratt Library, which has a specific African-American Department
http://www.epfl.net/slrc/afam/
Also, check the following

I hope this gives you some ideas.
John
