Research Notes
- Be careful with merging slave profiles. Since Nathaniel was sometimes giving away more than one person with the same name in the same document, it would be a mistake to merge these individuals.
- Birthdate for those designated as children are set at before the date of the document, e.g. 15 Jul 1789.
- Birth location is assumed to be the location of the signing of the document, Halifax, Virginia
