I organized the chart by house name in the left column, which includes
an estimate of the approximate distance to Locust Hill and information about
the house itself. Details about the neighbors who lived at each property
during Lucy’s lifetime can be found in the right column, to include the owner
of the property, key community positions he held and his date of death; the
name of his wife and the number of children they had. I identified those
individuals who were related to Lucy, and specified the relationship. I used a
variety of Federal Census’ and Tax Lists to identify the number of West African
slaves found at each home, since Lucy might have been asked to assist with
their care as well.
For the most part, I included named houses, many of which were owned by
Albemarle community members of Lucy’s class and wealth because these were the
houses marked on the maps. As a result, I may have inadvertently excluded
poorer neighbors that Lucy may have also served.
In many instances, I was able to find only partial information for a
house or family. So far, I have not found any historic document that provides
a first-hand description of Lucy’s role as a healer by one of her patients. It
is my greatest hope that individuals reading this web site will add to what is
a first-step in understanding the community that Lucy served by contributing
their own information and family documents.
