FAN Graph
The friends–associates–neighbors network behind the research: who witnessed whose deeds, stood surety, posted bonds, and where enslaved people's lives crossed white capital. Drag nodes to rearrange, scroll to zoom, hover to trace a person's neighborhood, click any node for its sources.
Reading rule: every edge carries a confidence level. confirmed_primary (read from the manuscript) and confirmed_secondary are citable; lead and unresolved are hypotheses, not facts — never display them as fact. Red dotted do_not_merge edges are project decisions keeping same-name people distinct (Turner Anderson ≠ Turner Moore ≠ Turner Jones; Nelson A. Thompson ≠ Nelson Anderson).

Data sources: Louisa County (VA) and Bedford County (TN) chancery court records and registers (FamilySearch); Madison County deed records and the 1816 Madison County census; federal census manuscripts; and the project's own research database and do-not-merge register. Every edge in the graph carries its own source citation — click any node for the full references.
