Lawrence Dunmore, African American

Lawrence Dunmore was born circa 1780 in Kentucky according to scant information available on his early life. He came to Louisiana as the slave of James Barlow---born in Caroline County, Virginia about 1757, James Barlow migrated with his family to the Fayette Kentucky area in the late 1700's. Lawrence arrived with the Barlows in NE Louisiana about 1808--where he worked as the enslaved personal servant to James until James freed him circa 1826. We have not been able to identify a parent for Lawrence. We find no record of Barlow freeing others and slaves mentioned at his death were not old enough to have been Lawrence's parents. We are interested in how Lawrence, identified as a "mulatto"--came to be called Dunmore---was it his mother's name? Did he have some connection to a Dunmore family of Kentucky or Virginia--or could he have adopted Dunmore--because of Lord Dunmore's involvement with liberation of blacks? Run across any slave transactions among your ancestors papers?
