Louisa of Good Hope
The 1817 slave register for John Tharp's Good Hope estate lists five individuals whose mother's name was Louisa: Marina (b. 1800), Nancy (b. 1800), Patty aka Eve (b. 1803), Neptune (b. 1806) and Delia (b. 1809).
Going down a generation, possible children for Marina, Nancy and Delia are discussed in posts called 'Three women called Marina on Good Hope', 'Six women called Nancy on Good Hope' and 'Two women called Delia on Good Hope'.
When Juliet was born in 1817, her mother was named as Patty, and although Louisa's daughter would have been only 14, she was the only woman or girl of that name on the estate.
