Notes
Violet, enslaved by Nathan Cooper, gave birth to her son Pyrus (PYRU1) on March 17, 1814. It is unclear who the father of Pyrus is.
Because Violet's son Pyrus 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.
