Banneker was born a free man in what is now Oella, Maryland, just outside of Baltimore. His mother Mary and her former slave husband, Robert, were free. His mother is the product of his white grandmother Molly Welsh and African grandfather Banna ka. Molly was an indentured servant (for seven years) who freed and married her slave Banna ka, reputedly an African prince.
