The question is have you located Mack Curry in any of the census records prior to 1870 such as 1860 and 1850..identified by name..this would mean he would have been classified as a "Free Black".  At that point you would have to determine how he became Free..either by birth (meaning his mother was Free) or emancipated by Will or Deed.


Have you found him identified by name on a census or any other records prior to 1865.

By the 1870 and 1880 censuses, all African Americans were free.
