About Louisa Richbourg

Sometimes shown as Levisea, Lovici, Lavisia.

Maples may be a previously married name, or she may have had a daughter before marrying James Richbourg.

"James Richbourg's Will mentioned a dau. in law Dorothy Maples; certainly at that time, the expression "dau. in law" was often used to denote a "dau. by law" or stepdaughter. However, the marital status of Louisa (or Levisea or Lovici or Lavisia, as she appears on various records) cannot be proved by this compiler. She may have been the widow of a Maples with a daughter Dorothy, although the late Wilhelm Von Hacks found no records in Sumter District to establish this. The 10-24-1793 Will of Mary Maples, widow of Thos. Maples Sr., named among her grandchildren one Dorothy Maples, and as a living daughter one Lovey Maples. If this Lovey Maples was the dau. of Mary Maples and not the widow of a son, and if Lovey was she who appears as Louisa, Levisea, Lovici, etc. - then she may have been unmarried with a child when she married James Richbourg."

According to the records at Richbourg.net (see link), James Richbourg was still married to Rebecca (surname unknown) as late as 1787.

"James Richbourg of St. marks parish and wife Rebecca sold on 4-12-1787 to Richard Singleton 700 acres in 3 tracts on Jacks Cr., Santee River; Witn.: P. Dardelia, Hughes Fournieu."

He married Louisa Maples sometime between c1787 and c1795:

"On 2-20-1795, James Richbourg Sr. and wife Lovici (X) sold the same 300 acres on Taw Caw to Robert Dingle: Witn.: Wm. and Solomon Buddin."
