I believe the plantation mentioned here is Oatlands, which was owned by the widow Elizabeth O. Carter. The Loudoun 1860 census shows Elizabeth Carter enslaving more individuals than any other landowner in the county.

Gleed Family - Oatlands

Free descendants of the enslaved families at Oatlands founded nearby Gleedsville.

I was not able to find a reference to a Lucy in the index to Elizabeth Carter's diary, but there is a Louisa.
