Thank you for your information. It has been very helpful. Now that my suspicions have been updated, perhaps I could find some documentation as to Louisa's birth records, her parents and siblings, if any. I do still have family there in S.C. and it has been very difficult to find old slavery records. I will write to S.C. Historical Society and also their state history library to see if there are any records available.
I was amazed to find that Ancestry.com had generation charts on the Pepper family. Someone in my family was researching his mother's genealogy which happened to be my first cousin and of course, there were similarities until I got to Louisa Pepper born 1847 and John Pepper born 1835. I noticed the age difference right away and that's where I thought the break came and Louisa must have been a slave of the Pepper family. Then I started checking the Pepper message boards and found a lot of answers as to the genealogy of John Pepper but not Louisa. She married Henry Ladson and I have their genealogy down to myself (5 generations later)
Would there possibly be Pepper Family Historical Papers on file somewhere that would show their business transactions of slavery there in South Carolina?
