     Thomas Slade was born in 1802 in London, England.³ He arrived from London, England in 1818.⁴
     Thomas married Janet Campbell, daughter of John Campbell and Cath Campbell, circa 1821.⁵ Thomas petitioned for land in 1823 located at the rear of the DesBarres Grant in Cumberland County on the Colchester border adjoining the lands of John Richards. He, John, was the future father-in-law of
Thomas's son Ephraim.⁴

He left this farm to his son Joshua who lived there with his family. His uncle John McDonald and his wife and adopted son Teeter lived there until it was purchased by James D. Tattrie who lived there with his family from about 1908-1945. All the buildings either went to ruin or were torn down."^7,8 Another researcher gives wife as Margaret Jolimore.

     Charles Slade was christened on March 19, 1764 in Saint Austell, Cornwall, England.² He was the son of Charles Slade and Susanna Stribley.² Charles married Mary Oates on March 25, 1788 in Veryan, Cornwall, England.³ The firm of Carne & Slade advertised their hardware goods regularly in the Alexandria Journal newspaper. By 1806, the ads were by Charles Slade, leading us to believe that Carne died, or they dissolved the hardware partnership arrangement. Various ads for Charles Slade hardware continued until about 1820, when it is presumed that Charles died. Charles died circa 1820 in Alexandria, Alexandria, Virginia, USA. Charles' will was dated December 25, 1810, although apparently, he did not die until about 1820 when his estate was probated. In his will, Charles liberated to full freedom a negro boy nmaed George upon the age of 27 unless the executors vote to liberate him sooner. Any onther person of color bound by him at the time of his death should also be liberated at the age of 27.

He specified his oldest two living sons and his wife should be executors of his estate. The probate document states that Richard Slade, Henry C. Slade, Edward Lloyd and Richard Libby appeared before Judge Robert Young, Esq, Judge of the Orphans Court of Alexandria County in the District of Columbia as administrators of the Will of Charles Slade, late of this county. Indicating that Charles' wife, Mary, had pre-deceased him.⁴

Note: Alexandria County was renamed Arlington County in 1921. Some records in this era might be listed as either.

     

William Slade was born circa 1638 in England.¹ He Parents are Henry Slade & Mercy on March 21, 1638 in Blewberry, Berkshire, England.² The wife of William Slade has not been identified.¹ William died before June 10, 1676 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.¹

William Slade filed a will in Baltimore County Prerogative Court (Wills) 20, pp 276-279 - William SLADE 19 May 1731.

     John Wesley Slade was born before 1795 likely in Richmond, Virginia.¹ [Date of his birth bef 1795 was estimated based on the assumtion that he was at least 19 years when his son James Adkins Slade was born].

He moved to Randolph County, Illinois and became the first Trustee of Sparta, Illinois, in 1934.¹

A biographical sketch written about James Adkins Slade in the Reynolds County, Missouri Sesquicentennial Year publication indicates that James Adkins' father was John Wesley Slade of Richmond, Virginia, who settled in Randolph County, Illiinois about 1830.

There was another John Wesley Slade who was named as a son in the 1826 will of John Slade of Richmond, Virginia. However, that John Wesley Slade mentioned in the will was still a minor in 1826, indicating he was born after 1808, making him about the same age as James Adkins Slade. Thererfore, the two John Wesley Slade's are more likely to be cousins rather than the same person. However, it should also be noted that James Adkins Slade of Missouri named his first son John Wesley Slade. We feel with some certainly, that these two families must be closely related in some manner.

Another train of thought, and possibility is that the Sesquicentennial publication was in error and the John Adkins Slade wasactually the James "G" Slade mentioned in the 1826 will who was son of Jonah Slade, brother of John Slade of Richmond.¹

     Daniel Slade was born on May 25, 1794 in Hagbourne, Berkshire, England.¹ He was the son of Emanuel Slade and Rachel [?].¹

Henry married Hannah Loveridge, daughter of William Loveridge, circa 1663 in Dorset, England. Hannah was the daughterr of William Loverige Sen. and Temporance his wife.^1,4 Documentary evidence puts Wm Loveridge's family in Poole, Dorset at the baptism of daughter Temperance.Temperance is Hannah's sister. Therefore it is likely Hannah and Henry wed in Dorset before arriving in America.⁵ On May 1, 1668, John West was granted 600 acres in Albemarbe County, North Carolina for transporting nine people into North Carolina, including Henry Slate and Wm Loveridge.⁶ Henry Slade was warranted 60 acres in Albemarle for the transportation of one person on September 7, 1669, indicating he was likely of age by this date.^7,8 Henry arrived in Virginia where he had land patented. Departure location not known at this time.⁹ Power of Attorney to Henry Slade of Currituck dated June 17, 1677 by Mordecay Bowden of Rhode Island.

Note: The Northern part of the territory now composed of North and South Carolina was called Albermarle County from 1663 to 1689. Currituck was originally a precinct of Albermarle County and extended from the Virginia line South to Pamlico Sound.³

     Joshua married Sarah [?] circa 1720 in Virginia.^1,2 Love family was also in Charles Parish and later moved to Southampton County, adding further evidence that The Samuel Slade born in York and the one in Southampton are the same. Soon after moving from York to Southampton, Elias Love's will named Samuel Slade as the Executor of his estate. Joshua died on November 14, 1727 in Charles Parish, York County, Virginia.^1,3

     Bartholomus Slade was born before 1770 very likely in Virginia.¹ Bartholomus Slade was named on the personal property tax rolls of the City of Richmond, Virginia for the years of 1794-1796.¹ He died likely circa 1797 or moved from the area because he no longer appears on the tax rolls in this area after this time.¹

[Compiler's note: Bartholmus Slade was found on the tax rolls as indicated. However, the relationship of Bartholomew being father of the brothers John and Jonah is only our speculation for study and not yet supported by documentation. However, his son, Jonah, did name his second son Bartholemew, giving some credence to the theory]


Bartholomus could be a corrupt spelling of the name Bartholemew.

     

William Slade was likely born before 1630 in Somerset, England.¹ He was the son of Edward Slade.¹ William's father is said to be Edward Slade from Somersetshire, England. William was made a freeman of Newport, Rhode Island on August 23, 1659. In 1680, he removed to what is now Somerset, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He bought land in the Plymouth Colony, in the Shawomet Purchase in Swansea from John Gray of Plymouth on 12 October 1682. We have found no later record of William.
