Good question. These data are for white women  born in Maryland. Data on slave fertility are harder to come by, but the research of Allan Kulikoff and a few others show similar fertility rates for American-born slave women (from the mid-18th century on), only more died before their childbearing years were up, so completed family size was smaller; also, a larger fraction of their children died before reaching the age of 20 (mostly in infancy or early childhood).
