I am related to this couple through the Thompson side. Their marriage record says that they were married July 19, 1877 Boone Co AR

1880 Boone Co AR census, Blythe twp

George W Slape age 22
Mary A Slape age 20 wife
Francis Slape age 2 daughter
Eliza Slape age 10 months daughter

Mary Ann Thompson Slape was born in Bradley Co TN, the daughter of Josiah Blair Thompson and Margaret unknown, grandaughter of Joseph Thompson b 1797 NC and Jane unknown. Nearly the entire extended Thompson family came to Carroll Co AR around 1858 or 1859.

I have tons of Thompson info to share and would like to learn more about the Slapes. Mary Ann Thompson Slape was first cousin to my great grandmother.
