the more likely answer is that the slave adopted their former owners name, as they did not usually have surnames of their own. Very often, the slaves were called by the owners last name if seen on the streets of a town, and as such it became commonplace that when referred to, the former slaves gave the owners last name as their own. You have to consider the fact that most if not all slaves were never given any kind of education, so the whole concept of reading and writing was something they knew nothing about.
The slaves job was to do any thing there masters told them to do. They did not have last names prior to slavery, however when they left it they could choose there previous owners last name, or a completly new one. They also had total freedom over there life, from when they were dismissed by the owners. ps I LOVE ONE DIRECTION
