attempted to attach death certificates of WO & JH Summers. Will try again. For those who are interested, should this not go through, please contact and will make arrangements.

Re: Margaret Jane Slatten

thewatkins_1 — 2009-02-15 20:38:21Z

Attaching death certificates of brothers: William Oliver and John Henry Summers. Henry's does not give parents info, which was frustrating to me, as his great-granddaughter. I knew what my family had told me. It was also, frustrating not to have grandma's name (Martha L.)mentioned, as his wife other than, "Mrs. John Summers." This is indeed him as we was a preacher, lived in Poplar Bluff, and is buried with his wife and some children in Black Creek Cemetery, Butler Co.

As I mentioned in earlier post, am looking for their mother's family - Slaten, Slatton, Slayton Statten, etc. Many believe Levi F. was married to a Margaret Jackson. This may or may not be one in the same person, HOWEVER -

Our family tradition had her name as "Slaten" - I just received a copy of William's death certificate, which seems to validate our "Oral Family Tradition" that in fact, Margaret J. Summers WAS Margaret Slaten.

She and Levi (on 1900 census) were married about 1953 b/c 1990 sayd "47 yrs" for their marriage.

Now that her maiden name is clearly documented, does anyone have help, info or suggestions on where to go from here?

Says her father was born in TN, mother in TKY and she in KY on 2 census and TN on one.

Re: Margaret Jane Slatten

JuliaOM — 2009-02-12 19:11:42Z

I know of no Slattens b in KY at that time, the only collection of them that I know of settled around Lexington KY, and this name does not figure among them.

Most Slattens came from E TN, but there are instances where Slatons names were changed by enumerator or other writers, However, there was a family in Crittenden co KY who are a bit of a mystery, headed by a Russell Slatton (supposedly b ca 1798 in TN), reported daus are Emily M b ca 1829 and Sarah b ca 1826. Since Russell d 1838 and there is no census family for him, this information was left by Sylvia Clark Puckett, 237 West Carlisle, Marion, KY (1968). This Margaret Jane would certainly fit in here, and would also tend to use Slatton, and some of the KY families definitely moved to Franklin co IL.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what source Ms Puckett used, presumably there may have been a bible record or letters. That would be MY GUESS as to the probable origin of this Margaret Jane is she was b a SLATTON.

I am Clinton Slayton, using Julia Mitchel's account to answer you, please contact me at cslayton19@charter.net if you have further questions.

Did you have information on her family?

Re: Margaret Jane Slatten

thewatkins_1 — 2009-02-11 21:42:54Z

This is the Information on the 1900 Census.

My family always told us her name was Margaret Jane Slatten and it is recorded in the "Our Clarks" book written by two researchers. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the book, however my brother does.

I found the record on Ancestry which shows her marriage to:
Name: Nathan Jackson
Gender: Male
Spouse Name: Margaret Slatton
Marriage Date: Aug 08, 1851
Marriage County: Saline

THis would fit with others saying her name was "Margaret Jane Jackson.

The date given for the marriage between Margaret and Levi was supposed to have taken place 1853 24 Feb - am seeking information to back up, i.e. record.

THIS is the 1900 Census record with Levi and Margaret J and tne lenght of marriage 47 years, tying in to be the year married as 1853 - corresponding with the years married from the date given found on ancestry family tree.

Name: Levi Summers

Hello, to All!

I am a Slatten and in my research, my family's line (Slatten) originally came from New Kent, VA (Arthur Slayden, Sr.). The family has had the name of Slayden, Slayton, Slaydon and Slatten as far as I have come. We came from VA, to N.C. and then Pickens, S.C., over to Boone, KY and finally ending up in Vernon Parish, LA and Pearl River County, MS. Some family members did stay in Atlanta, GA.

I am actually looking for Asa W. Slayton's book online and cannot seem to locate it again. I found it yesterday in a PDF format but can't seem to find it today. Does anyone know where it is located? Thanks a bunch!

Note to anyone reading this old posting:

There was no proven marriage of William to Mary RODES, this is made up.

DNA has shown that "Jack" is almost certainly NOT a son of George's William and Sarah HONEY; three Jack descendants are of the haplogroup J2, while George's known and suspected descendants are I1a.

Re: SLATTEN FAMILY

I am a 7th generation descendant of Peter Slatten, Sr., born in 1838. Peter and Nancy had children named Warren, Peter Jr., Harvey and Melende. Maybe they are related.

So far, no descendant of the Aaron who settled in Craighead co AR, b 1804 SC (as reported in census) has a DNA match with any other line in the DNA Project, which was a surprise to all of us. We have results from four descendants, two pairs from different sons.

JuliaOM — 2007-07-09 13:09:41Z

From Clinton Slayton and Julia O Mitchel:
Re: various versions of W John Slayton's books with names similar to the subject headings

We have examined the papers of Richard W Slatten at the Library of Virginia and consulted with librarians at the Virginia Historical Society, and came to the following conclusions:

there are no publicly available source documents that back up the dates and birthplaces assigned by W John Slayton in any of the first three generations presented in his books, usually published as Volume II;

there are no publicly available source documents that back up a marriage of William Slaton (various spellings) to Mary RODES, and Edgar MacDonald states in writing that he never published anything about such a marriage;

the version of W John's book donated to the L of VA by Edgar MacDonald shows John Slatton (d ca 1814) as a son of Abraham. This conjecture may have been based on musings by Richard Slatten in one private correspondence that this was a possibility. But this suspected John appears ONLY in a 1766 Albemarle co VA document regarding a man name William who is clearly an older man, considering the context of the document. It is anybody's guess as to the relationship between this John and either William or Abraham, but a more prudent way to present this would be to start with John, and stick with the only provable family record, the orphan Tyre Slatton left by Abraham.

The books published by W John Slayton as "Volume I" may contain only records and are thus can be somewhat useful as a collection, however, the sbove statements show that W John Slayton's Volume II "books" were sold or distributed in various versions to fit the ephemeral theory in W John's head at the time. As such, they do not represent an accurate family picture, cannot and should not be used as documented source material. Unfortunately, under pseudonyms, this material was posted onto the Internet and has been copied and reposted by trusting souls.

This does not suggest that all the material in W John's books is made up, because a considerable amount was supplied by myself, George R Slayton, Herman Slaton, and others. Howver, the list of issue ascribed to William and Mary (RODES) gives the impression of certainty and completion, but is not based on anything that W John Slayton cares to cite. The problem is that the "root" information shows a degree of detail that is not available in any format that we were able to find in Virginia, which suggests that W John is in possession of birth or baptism records, or family records such as a Bible, that are unknown to any research facility in Virginia and are not cataloged in LDS or other research libraries. The counties (parishes) that are shown in W John's earliest records are considered "Burned" counties for such records as St Paul's in Hanover co and Fredericksville in Albermarle, where W John shows birth dates and places around and before 1750.

We have requested the sources for these dates and places from W John Slayton in the past, with no response. This material is, in our opinion, hopelessly compromised.

DNA update

JuliaOM — 2007-06-29 13:29:41Z

From Clinton:
The DNA Project has 13 results: 12 are 43-marker tests, one is a 12-marker. It is established that George Washington Slaten of Monroe co TN (b ca 1800 SC), Loving Slaten (b ca 1805 SC) and Richard Slaton (b ca 1832), who is a known descendant of George Slaton of Jackson co GA (b 1839), and Wade Slaton of DeKalb co AL (b ca 1805 SC), a strongly suspected descendant of Capt John Slaten (d 189 E TN), all share a common paternal ancestor, through descendants of each line, and that Wade of Morgan co AL (b 1852 d 1939) is closely related. These are all strongly suspected to descend from a William Slading who appears in Albemarle co VA in 1766, through suspected sons or grandsons, John, George and Major. One other individual who shares this has an earliest descendant named Stephen Decatur Slaton who lived in White co AR. These men are all cousins, acc to current DNA theory, all except one is over 97% matches, with three at 100%.

Also, a baseline for descendants of Arthur & Rachel Slayden of VA is established with 4 results of descendants from that line, and a descendant of Benjamin Slaton of Franklin/Banks co GA is a member of this group. Benjamin was not proven member of this group through extant documents.

One descendant from Thomas & Hannah of Mass is also represented. We need more from this group.

Samples are being sought from native English lines and one is expected before August.

The other lineages are not clear since they vary from those mentioned above and are only single samples.

Re: Plea to all researchers - name-collecting at its worst

2003-10-29 16:37:50Z

There is no proof that John was an indentured servant, or that he arrived in 1695. Two headright grants appear in records, but these are not proof of date of arrival. 1710 is the earliest record (processioning) that shows a John Sladdin/Sladding in Hanover co VA area.

I have seen no proving records identifying John with anyone back in Europe. At least one reseacher, Richard Slatten, thought his line was Irish, the Northern SLAYTONS have a story from Scotland, and the VA John has no stories at all that I have seen, but numerous descendants mention Welsh blood, but it is indeterminable if these are from male or female lines of descent.

I would be interested in knowing if the ancestral home Ripple Court in Lyming is a corruption of Ribble, as in the beautiful river valley in Wales. I also noted a name Slackdeacon which could easily be Sladden over time, like Cholmondely, Mainwaring, etc. This suggests that there may be twon family lines.

The family down from John is completely conjectural and Richard Slatten varied in his stance as to whether a William Sladding and Abraham Sladding (his line) had any connection to John at all. Proximity suggests that the VA Arthur who married Rachel may be a son of John, but this is again only a guess.

Please see my RootsWeb Worldconnect database "cslayton_ajs" for the research that I and my colleagues have put together on the American lines, but none of the researchers in the Sladen/Sladden families in Kent and Canterbury have found any connection to the pre1700 "southern" families with names like theirs.

I am from the UK but doing some family research for an online friend of 3 years who is a direct descendant of John Sladding the indentured servant who arrived in Virginia from England in 1695.

I agree with the points that you made about the false records. However, I am just using the sites to build up a line of descent which I will use to check against primary source records. I would only then post my findings (after getting my friends permission to do so) together with my methodology for collecting the data.

We have what is known as "one name societies" here in the UK, where one person (maybe more if a more common surname) acts as a source of information and a repository of information about persons living in the past with this surname. This person is able to verify facts and cross reference data and feed it back to all interested persons. You have to be registered to do this (I think with the geneological society of Great Britain ) so your work is monitored. I am sure that you have something similar in the USA.

A central point of collection overseen by someone such as yourself would be a great idea I think, with an e-mail reply box such as this one.

I would like to finish this note by saying what a fascinating group of people the Slaydens are from doing my research. So much talent and contribution towards the good of their country.

Hello, my name is Willimena Michelle Hall the granddaughter to Wilhelmina Slayton. I don’t know if we are related, but my grandmother came from Montgomery Alabama and her parent’s were Willie Slayton and Corine Griggs also from Montgomery from I gathered. My grandmother had at least (1) one sister named Mary L. Slayton that I could track down. I received this information from my father’s birth certificate and my grand parents marriage certificate. During my research I noticed that the surname Slayton was spelled several different ways. If you can help me in any way it would be greatly appreciated.

John ("Jackie") Slatton (1794-1897) moved to Oklahoma with some of his children around the turn of the century (presumably after Nancy died in 1886). He is buried in the Fairview (or Maguire) Cemetery east of Noble, Oklahoma.

the above information is from Douglas A. Hooper, 10375 Tuxford Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia 30202

Re: John Slatten

bawijobe5 — 2005-07-24 23:47:28Z

I am descended from Jeptha P. Slatten (son of Jackie and Nancy Sauls) who married Parthenia Alice Zachary. Their daughter, Julia E., married my great grandfather, Thomas Vance Henderson. Thomas and Julia moved from Jackson county at the turn of the century to work in the cotton mills in Greenville, South Carolina. I have been unable to find out where and when Julia died. Any information you have would be appreciated.

By the way, Nancy Sauls (1811-1886) might also have been spelled "Stalls" if that helps to look for her ancestors. Info is from "Jackson county Heritage" published in 2000.

Re: Slatten/Eads

bawijobe5 — 2005-07-24 23:28:43Z

It is possible that you are related to the Slattens who migrated from western North Carolina to Oklahoma in the late 1800's. John Edward Slatton ("Jackie") married Nancy Sauls in about 1830. They settled in Cashiers North Carolina (Jackson County). Their children wereTemperance Slatten White, James E (married Martha ?), Susan Emmalissa (married Wm. Burke Hooper), Martha (married Jack Hogsed), Warren D., Jeptha P (married parthena Alice Zachary - my ancestors), John, Jr. married Margaret J. Hooper, Nancy Ann (married Daniel Van Buren Moody), Richard Dyre Tally (married Sarah Jane Hooper), Catherine (married Joseph Absalom Woodring) and elizabeth (married John t. fulbright). Several of Jackie's children left the mountains and went to Oklahoma. Hope this is helpful.

Seven results so far:

Three match and are almost certainly a pattern for "Arthur & Rachel" descent (VA).

Re: Plea to all researchers - name-collecting at its worst

JuliaOM — 2007-05-14 17:39:55Z

Pete, please note that we are seeking DNA samples from a Sladden and a Sladen who are descendants from the Kent SLODEN families, at least this is the conjecture.

Unfortunately, the last male descendant in America for the Rochdale line (Lancashire) died last year, so I despair of ever reconnecting the line that produced Joseph Alton Sladen, a man who met Cochise and a MOH winner, or his sons Frank, a distinguished phyician, and Fred, another distinguished soldier.

Re: Tentative conclusions _IMPORTANT for all researchers

JuliaOM — 2007-05-01 15:24:32Z

Two suspected descendants of Arthur & Rachel Slayden continue to match at over 90%, while two descendants from "Carolina" families match one another but not the A & R suspects. We need more volunteers to submit DNA samples! Please contact Clinton Slayton cslayton19@charter.net or Julia Mitchel juliaom@windstream.net.

Tentative conclusions _IMPORTANT for all researchers

JuliaOM — 2007-04-25 15:48:38Z

From Julia O Mitchel and Clinton Slayton

Tentative conclusion from DNA, more to come.

There are strong pointers to indicate that the line from Arthur & Rachel Slayden (1730s - 1780s Hanover, New Kent, Goochland cos VA) DO NOT share a common ancestor with two descendants thought to be from the line of William Slading/Sladin (last seen 1766 - 1770s Albemarle co VA). This TENTATIVELY disconnects any association with the single immigrant, John Slatterne/Sladding, whose processionings in 1710 and 1720 Hanover co VA have lead other researchers to conclude that John was the ur_Slaton for the Southern (VA-based) families.

This does reinforce the conjecture by the late Richard Slatten, that his line, from Abraham Sladyng/Slatton who died in Albemarle VA producing orphan Tyre Slatten, was NOT connected to the Arthur & Rachel line. There are two distinct subclades in the Haplotype group I1 for these two lines, and not nearly enough matches to suggest any common ancestor, ever.

The continuing of the SSSFP DNA Project will strengthen or weaken this conclusion, but this is our working hypothesis for now.

Relative Genetics has been chosen to host a site for DNA results with names like ours. Please contact Clinton Slayton (cslayton19@charter.net) or Julia O Mitchel (juliaom@windstream.net) or visit Relative Genetics and search on SLATTEN, to make a JOIN request. We wish to restrict membership to those who are actually contributing a sample, those who already show a significant match, or those who can contact good candidates, we do not invite lurkers. Male direct descendants must submit a 43-marker test to participate, or a female may submit that male's sample for him.

Slatten is a scandanavian name in the form of Slattin, but most people with this name are part of my family group that moved from VA to NC to SC and then all over. This started about 1774 and there is no connection to Germany that I can find, the name has been in England in one form or another since the 13th c.

An erroneous assumption was once made when a historian of the Reformation, John Phillips (Johannes Phillipi) of Schleida, was referred to in library catalogs as John de Slaytonnus, which was a latinized form of de Schleida. He was definitely from what is now Germany but was not a Slayton and never had children. This did not stop determined people from convincing themselves that he was a Slayton, but he would have never gone by or recognized this as a name.

There is a collection of Slaydens who adopted the spelling SLATTEN and lived in LA and MS. Virtually all of their cousins go by SLATON, but they have stayed with SLATTEN, since it is all they know since their ancestor came there from SC.

SLATTEN and SLATTIN are found among the Scandanavian immigrants who came to Central North US, but there are dozens of "mixed" SLATON families in LA that are VA families who migrated to TX & LA and changed to SLATTON. TO get information, you need to give more information. Since there are privacy issues, the names of your (Deceased) Slatten ancestors will be helpful. This spelling is rarely found among Germans or Austrians, this is usually SLATIN.
