Not really. It was typical that American slaves took the last name of their master. My slave owning ancestors gave theirs the last name of Elliott, same as theirs. How do I know you ask? They registered the slaves birth with the state of Virginia (1850-60s) as required by law. Course I got other relations on the other side of the Mason Dixon Line and the other side of the late unpleasantness. As do many folks.
