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 not designated as children are set at before 15 years before the date of the document, i.e., 15 Jul 1789 minus 15 years, thus before 21 Jul 1774
- Birth location is assumed to be the location of the signing of the document, Halifax, Virginia
