Ancient or Historic Variety named 'Princess'

My family has a historic (older than 50yrs) camellia bush which we're trying to identify. The bush came from a historic (1800's)home and nursery called "Pirates Cruz" in Mt. Pleasant, SC on the Charleston Harbor.

The bush in our Charleston garden stands about 10 ft. and produces pink blooms with a prominent stamen bundle. We think it was called "Princess" or Princess ..something.

A description and illustration of the camellia may be seen at http://paintcharlestondaily.blogspot.com/2009/02/camellias-in-charleston-garden.html

Thanks for any information you may have that will help ID this fine, old camellia bush.
