Salisbury Twp, Lancaster Co, PA

He served in the Revolutionary War as ensign of the company commanded by his uncle, Captain John Slaymaker, and was a member of an association for suppressing the Tories in the eastern end of Lancaster County, at the head of which was Colonel James Mercer. He was a magistrate for many years; county commissioner in the year 1800; a member of the House of Representatives in 1810-11; and afterwards of the Senate of Pennsylvania from 1806 until 1810; and a member of Congress of the United States from 1814 until 1815, at which time he, with a number of others, lent their credit to the government, by endorsing for it when in financial difficulties. He and his two brothers, Henry and Samuel, were proprietors of the great stage line of Reeside, Slaymaker & Co., from Philadelphia to the west, before the time of railroads.

He left six sons and four daughters.
