Notes
Pyrus was born to the enslaved woman Violet (VIOE3). Because he was born after July 4, 1799, when the Law of Gradual Emancipation was enacted, Pyrus would be indentured to his enslaver Nathan Cooper until he was manumitted or until the date July 4, 1827, when slavery was legally abolished in New York State.
