The growth of Baltimore's black community, free and slave, was supported by two geographical factors of Baltimore. The city's thriving harbor offered a large employment market that attracted free blacks and offered slaveholders the opportunity to hire out their slaves. And Baltimore's position between the North and the South made it a logical station for escaped slaves either trying to reach the North or hoping to blend in with Baltimore's large free black population.

Alexandria County remained a part of the District of Columbia until the territory was returned to Virginia in the retrocession of 1846. It then continued to exist as Alexandria County, Virginia, until 1920 when it was renamed Arlington County. The registration records abstracted here were originally created in response to a Virginia law of 1793 which required all free blacks to register with the town or county clerk, and get a freedom certificate to carry with them at all times as ready proof of their free status. In order to get a freedom certificate, the blacks had to produce acceptable evidence of their freedom. A black person could be free by virtue of being the child of a free mother, by manumission under a wide variety of conditions (such as at the owner's death per the terms of the owner's will), by self-purchase, etc. These abstracts indicate the nature of the proof provided, be it references to wills, deeds, and bills of sale, or affidavits by credible witnesses. Thus these abstracts name a great many people in addition to several thousand free blacks (many of the people named being white), and they provide a great deal of data on relationships, and some physical descriptions, all of which is of great interest to genealogists and social historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDorothy S.

In 1850, the total population count for Amherst County was 12,699 and its slave count was 5,953 (2,981 males and 2,972 females).

She saw the mode of transportation evolve from horse and carriage, and trolley cars, to the variety of vehicles involved in the congested traffic of the 1980s. The daughter of former slaves, she attended Washington's prestigious M Street (later Dunbar) High School and became an accomplished pianist, composer, and music teacher. In her youth, she heard tales of slavery from the mouths of former slaves. She attended the funeral of Frederick Douglass in 1895 and witnessed the Washington Race Riot of 1919. She participated in the March on Washington in 1963, and experienced, in her lifetime, the growth and death of segregation in the District of Columbia. Her first husband was the eminent poet and minister James David Corrothers. After his premature death, she married a second time to Berthea Johnson Tucker, a Pullman Porter, and in 1925 she helped to found the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters, the first successful African-American labor union in the United States. For most of its existence, she served as Secretary-Treasurer of its Ladies Auxiliary. For many years an elder at Washington's Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, she was also active in civic and community work. As she approached her hundredth birthday, she became a national celebrity, giving lectures and making appearances on television, recounting her years as a labor and civil rights activist. A year before her death at 1987, she was participating in a picket of a local supermarket. \"Although I live far removed from the time I was born, I do not feel that my heart should dwell in the past.

The city's thriving harbor offered a large employment market that attracted free blacks and offered slaveholders the opportunity to hire out their slaves.
