Need help with USBH LNAB.

Question

Working on the USBH 1880 Census Project I have run into a snag about what to use for LNAB.  Both Family Search and Ancestry have this person's name as Jane Deweth.  I have looked at it upside down and sideways as well as inverting the color and can't see how they got "th" out of what is clear to me to be "tt".  Anyways since this is a female and most likely enslaved person it seems to me, if I follow the USBH LNAB policy, I should make her Jane Unknown and add the {{Slave LNAB}} template since it is not clear what her name was.  Just looking for confirmation. 

I have not yet created the profile.  Link to census record below .

Family Search

Answer 1

You can use the name you see on the document and add just the category instead of the template.  [[Category: US Black Heritage, Needs LNAB]] 

US Black Heritage Naming Conventions For Slaves, Examples (and I got to that page from here: US Black Heritage: Naming Conventions for Slaves (wikitree.com) .... let me know if any spot needs more clarification)

Edit: I think that name is Dewitt.

Thank you, I read it as Dewitt as well.
