Notes:

I believe that “Margaret, servant of Sylvester Mal” is Wm. Louis’ mother. “Luke, servant of Nazareth,” is the child’s male sponsor, and Nazareth means he was enslaved by the Sisters of Nazareth. “Caroline, servant of John Bates,” is the child’s female sponsor, and John Bates is her enslaver.
