William J. Slaton was the son of my fourth great grandparents William Slaydon and Susannah Flippin. As such, he was the brother of my third great grandfather Thomas Fielden Slaton. This deed bears on the date of death of William J. Slaton. He was enumerated in the 1880 census. I have found no will, settlment, family bible, or tombstone that would give his date of death. Based on this deed, he died before 13 Sep 1889. I would suspect that he died much closer to 1889 than to 1880, probably in 1889 itself. William J. Slaton's wife was Priscilla Emeline (Emeline) Sellers, and his two children were Samuel H. (Sam) Slaton and Susan L. (Susie) Slaton. The land in this deed was sold by William's widow and his two children. Sam Slaton's wife was Edna Viola (Viola) Workman. |

I don't know the story of this transaction, but it seems likely it has something to do with the estate of William Slaydon. Taking the names slightly out of order, Thomas Fielden Slaton, Wilcher C. Slaton, and Mahala B. Slaton were children of William Slaydon and Susannah Flippin. Susan (Susie) Slaton was the daughter of William J. Slaton and the granddaughter of William Slaydon and Susannah Flippin. Samuel H. (Sam) Slaton was the son of William J. Slaton and the grandson of William Slaydon and Susannah Flippin. William J. Slaton himself had died at least ten years prior to the execution of this deed, which is why his children Susie and Sam were involved with the deed. W. C. is a mystery. The only W. C. Slaton I have in my data base is Wilcher C. Slaton, but he is already in the list as "Wilsher". The Joseph Harrison to whom the land was being sold was the husband of Susan A. Slaton who was the daughter of Thomas Fielden Slaton, so the land was being kept in the family. Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton were my second great grandparents. |

This deed does not seem to contain any information of genealogical value to the Slaton family. William P. Slaton was the son of Thomas Fielden Slaton and Rebecca Frances George. William' wife was Rachel Swann. I do not know, nor have researched very extensively, who Rachel's parents were. She was obviously related to the other Swann family members named in this deed, but I do not know what the exact relationship was. |
