Biography

Louisa Thompson is a part of US Black heritage.

Louisa was born before 1855, based on her enslaver's inventory probated in 1855.

Louisa's last name at birth is as yet unknown, thus her enslaver's surname of Thompson is being used temporarily.

Louisa was a slave of Noah L Thompson (abt.1811-abt.1854) in Leon County, Florida. She was listed on his probate inventory on 3 Feb 1855 as being valued at $700.^[1]

When William Davis died, his probated inventory included the slaves who previously belonged to Noah Thompson. They were listed on April 6, 1855 in Davis' probate record.^[2]
