NO! First, Thurgood named "Thoroughgood" Marshall was born July 2, 1908. Given that a woman back then was generally at least 21 years old before she married and gave birth, that means his mom was likely born in the early to mid 1880s, far too late for slavery.
Thurgood's father and mother were William and Norma Africa Marshall. William was the great-grandson of a slave, who had adopted his name as "Throughgood." Remember, slaves didn't have full names until after the Civil War. Norma graduated from an all-black Maryland college. She taught in a segregated elementary school in Baltimore.
Reader must remember to consult legitimate websites or textbooks for correct information.
It also helps to think about the possible age and years of when a person might have been born. A woman typically had babies when she was between 21 to 45 years old. Women typically spaced their babies at 2-3 years apart (9 mos pregnancy...pregnant again in 6 mos to 1 year...9 months pregnancy, and another birth). So, if you were born in 1990, I would guess your mom was at least 20 years to 30 years old when she gave birth to you. This figuring does not give exact birth year, but close within 10 years. It's very important to put historical dates alongside known or guessed birth info... what was happening in 1880s... when did slavery end...etc.
