HELLO PAUL

IM HOPING YOU CAN HELP - I HAVE TRACED THREE LINES OF MY FAMILY TREE AND I HAVE FOUND ALL THREE - POSTED FREE IN 1850 CENSUS

ONE ONE OF MY RELATIVES "HENRY WATTS" WAS POSTED FREE IN 1828 VIA A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE - NORFOLK VA

I KNOW THIS "HENRY WATTS" WAS ALSO ONCE A SLAVE, AND I KNOW THE PLANTATION AND FAMILY WHO OWNED HIM AT ONE TIME - HOW CAN I FIND HIS MANUMSSION PAPERS OR FIND OUT HOW HE EARNED HIS FREEDOM AND OR LAND THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY COLONEL DEMPSEY WATTS AND HIS SON CAPTAIN SAMUEL WATTS
