What makes you think he was born in the US?
What makes you think he was a slave?
Was he a indentured slave? (For the time period maybe
not)
Do you know how he got to England?
Do you have a possible slave owners name?
Was he a freeman?
Lot of questions and research information needed.

Know the law of England for that time period and do
your search based
on where to find the information in the courts of
England. Start with
1808 and work back.

Good Luck,
Quan
