General Notes: Husband - Thomas Slater


He was born in North Fayette township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and received his early education in the subscription schools of that locality. In 1843 he came to Mt. Pleasant township, Washington County, locating near Hickory, and was married same year. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Slater resided on a farm near Hickory until September, 1855, when he came to a farm in Cecil township, Washington County. It contained 173 acres of good land, upon which he erected a comfortable house and commodious barn, and also made various other improvements.

In his early life he traveled somewhat in the west and south, visiting at one time in South Carolina where friends of his mother lived, near Abbeville; after the Civil war, however, he heard nothing of them. Cousin "Jimmy Wilson" had a large plantation and many slaves.
