Princess of Good Hope
The 1817 slave register for John Tharp's Good Hope plantation includes two women with a mother called Princess: City (b. 1765) and Norah (b. 1769). City's mother was named as O. Princess, which may be short for Old and, even if it isn't, the presence of the qualification implies that there was or had been another woman on the plantation with the same name.
However, the 1817 register lists only one woman called Princess, who was estimated to be 65 years old (b. 1752). She is described as African (born in Africa).
The 1817 register also records that City had a son called Wiltshire (b. 1789).
Princess's death was recorded in the 1823 return, when her age at death was estimated as 69.
