Hello and welcome from your board administrator! Here is my Slape line:Thomas Slape1,Thomas Slape2,William Floyd Slape,John Anderson Slape, William Andrew Slape, Americus Andrew Slape, Lloyd Slape. The original Thomas came over from England sometime before about 1741, as this is the apporxiamate year of birth for his son Thomas, who was born in VA. My Grandfather Americus was born in Ark. My father was born in CA. I have quite a lot on this line if you need any help, just email away!
