How to read this tree
A dashed line means the relationship is preserved in the family record and its published biographies; it does not claim independent documentary proof for every generation. A solid line identifies a relationship supported by a specific document described in the biography. Selecting a name changes the starting person without changing the records.
Spouses, siblings, and other family connections are labeled separately from parents. A family connection does not assert biological parentage. Historical associates and people recorded in an enslaver’s estate have their own biographies in the directory and are not assigned as relatives. Living people’s dates, private circumstances, and unpublished parentage are excluded.
Portraits retain their source labels in the linked biographies. Gia’s portrait is AI-created; Daniel Perry III’s is interpretive.
People in the record
Every name opens a biography.
Family members, workers, witnesses and named people are connected to the images and stories in which they appear. Each page grows as more evidence is recovered.
Hover over an animated portrait to meet the person in motion. On a phone, select Play with sound. Portrait reconstructions, voices and dialogue are modern interpretations; each profile preserves its sources and image notes.

The standing image rule
Restore the photograph. Preserve the person.
Every archival image displayed by UNSUPERVISED* carries a treatment note. Original scans remain preserved; restored and colorized derivatives are labeled. Faces, bodies and historically meaningful objects are not cosmetically rewritten.
Identifications are recorded according to family memory and revised as documentary evidence improves. When no date survives, the caption uses a defensible circa range based on known lives, clothing, photographic format, setting and visual evidence.
