No. African Governments / Tribes are well known for keeping Slaves.
Many of the European Slave trade were African Tribal slaves sold for export.

Today ... African slave trade is alive and doing well in some governments.

Question: What would my great grandfathers unlce's great grandson be known as by me?

Start by simplifying the terms

This is your great great granduncle.

His son would be your great grandfather's first cousin.

His grandson, a second cousin to your grandfather.
His great grandson, a third cousin to your father.

Which would make his great grandson, your third cousin once removed ( a term which denotes differences in generations.)

Question: Where was Mary Baker born?

You do realize that there are probably thousands of Mary Bakers in the world. Google Search comes up with 136 million results when I search "Mary Baker".

Is there a particular one you were interested in, or just any random Mary Baker?

Question: Did Helen H Gushy exist in 1949?
