Can't find slave/manumission records for gx3grandfather James Harris b.1800s in MD or DE (North Murderkill DE) yet he was free. Patriarchial lineage; James, Enoch, Fletcher and Linford Harris. Need help

James Harris (Sally) b.1800s? came from Eastern​ Shore, MD and settled in the North Murderkill-Kent County, DE area. Despite extensive research, I can't find records of his parents, slave or manumission, yet he and family were free. I really need some help. Thank you.

I'm going to share your post with the @African American Genealogy Research​ group. Maybe they provide some help!

Hello, I would love to help you.Can you provide the Deceased Ancestor ID for James or Sally?There are quite a few listed and some have no sources attached.If possible, we can use the last know descendant of his to try to locate his records.

Unfortunately, I don't see Angela in my thread. Haven't been able to keep up due to my schedule. Please advise how I may connect with Angela, since there is no last name listed. Thank you.
