I believe you are referring to a situation that existed in 1703, (not after 1800). In 1790 there were no slaves counted on the Massachusetts census. The requirement that a bond be posted by a slave owner in Massachusetts occurred in 1703.

Yes, the US census showed no slaves in Massachusetts in 1800.
