Chance of Good Hope
Two women called Prue were listed in the 1817 slave register:
1. Thirty-one-year-old Prue (b. 1786) was the daughter of Keaty (see 'Keaty of Good Hope'). She would have been 36 when John was born and her death at the age of 37 was registered in the 1826 return.2. Twenty-six-year-old Prue (b. 1791) was the daughter of Bella (b. 1768) and would have been 31 when John was born.
Unfortunately, based on the evidence of these slave lists, it isn't possible to determine which Prue was John's mother.
Bella's mother was called Chance (b. 1752), who also had a son called Quaw (b. 1773). Chance's death, at the age of 71, was recorded in the 1823 return.
