Eliza of Good Hope
Although Eliza was quite a popular name, only one Eliza was listed who was old enough to be the mother of the first three children. She was estimated to be 36 years old (b. 1781) and described as African (born in Africa).
Another Eliza was born in 1803 who would have been just about old enough to be Celia's mother, but she was described as Mulatto, indicating that her father was white, while Celia was described as Negro (of entirely African heritage).
