The cast

The same 314 people as the roster, sorted roughly by how much the record says about them. The top tier is a judgement; the other three are mechanical, from what the project has matched so far, and a person moves up as records are found.

Major (22)

The people the story turns on: the company's men, the witnesses who wrote it down, and the colonists who built Dallas. This list is editorial.

Medium (133)

Everyone else the primary record catches: a deed, the 1859 tax roll or 1867 register, the 1860 census, a family tree, or repeated mention in the findings and timeline.

Minor (73)

In two or more of the source lists, but no primary record found for them yet.

Very minor (86)

In one list only — most of them a surname and nothing more.
