Lucia of Good Hope
The 1817 slave register for John Tharp's Good Hope estate lists three individuals whose mother was called Lucia: Catalina (b. 1768), Bean (1775-6th of February 1819)* and Alexander Murray aka Cuffee (b. 1779).
Lucia's age was estimated as 65 (b. 1752), and her birthplace was given as Jamaica.
Possible children for Catalina are discussed in a post called 'Three women called Catalina on Good Hope'.
* Bean's death was recorded in the 1820 return of 'increases' and 'decreases', which is the only one that gives dates.
