{"value"=>"<p>Leather bound registry book recording brandings on livestock (\"marks\") which was required by law so that animals could be identified and distinguished from \"strays.\" In addition, the registry, which was kept by the town clerk, records children born to enslaved women after 1799, in accordance with the 1817 New York State statute that provided for gradual manumission. There are seven entries relating to births and two relating to the 7th Section of the State statute which relinquishes the State from further liability for a person under the age of 45 who is \"of sufficient ability to provide for herself.\"</p>"}
