Catalina of Chippenham Park Pen
The 1817 slave register for John Tharp's Chippenham Park Pen lists two children with a mother called Catalina: ten-year-old Henry (b. 1807) and seven-year-old Maria (b. 1810).
Catalina's age was estimated as 37 (b. 1807), and her birthplace was recorded as Africa. She would have been 20 when she gave birth to Henry in Jamaica.
The 1826 return of 'increases' and 'decreases notes the birth of a boy called William, who was 8 months old by the time the return was compiled. His mother was Maria, who was 16 years old when he was born.
