I believe they got those names from there slave owners. And how are the census folks going to know this just by surname?
Not trying to argue, just trying to follow your logic. ;-)

I’m not sure what you mean about the census,however the slave toke the name of the slave owners last name. Being that they were his property, and all. Notice all the Jefferson’s,Washington’s,etc.

After Emancipation the freed slaves were also able to take a new name if they wished. Generally that of a famous person. Just a little more FYI. ;)
