Abisha Slade1

(15 September 1799 - 1869)
     Abisha Slade was born on September 15, 1799 in Caswell County, North Carolina.2,1 He was the son of Ezekiel Slade and Mary Hubbard.1
     Abisha married first Mary K. Harrison, daughter of Thomas Harrison Jr. and Mildred Johnston, on January 5, 1826 in North Carolina.3 Abisha was a tobacco farmer. In 1839, his slave, Stephen, fell asleep in the curing house and let the fire nearly go out. Because it was raining, all the wood was wet. Rather than throw a wet log on the fire, Stephen, ran to the charcoal pit in the blacksmith shop, grabbed some charred bits of wood and threw them on the embers. The sudden increase in heat turned the green tobacco leaves yellow. The yellow tobacco tasted sweeter when smoked and did not have as much of an unpleasant odor. Abisha was able to sell the yellow tobacco or "Bright Leaf Tobacco" for four times the normal price of tobacco. He and Stephen became part of the history of North Carolina's billion-dollar agricultural economy.4 Abisha served as Clerk of Court in Caswell County from 1841 to 1854. He built a brick house in Yanceyville, NC and at one time had many servants. Left penniless after the Civil War, foreclosure on his house was mericfully postponed until after his death in 1869. The house has since been demolished, the site is now a parking lot for a funeral home.3
     Abisha married second Mary Graves, daughter of William Graves and Ann Lea Graves, on April 23, 1846 in North Carolina.3
     Abisha married third Sarah Lucinda Taylor, daughter of State Senator Paul Taylor and Betsy Williams Terry, on March 10, 1853 in North Carolina.5 Abisha died in 1869.2,1 The Milton Chronicle disputes the origin of Bright Leaf Tobacco. The Chronicle had been " informed by an old citizen of Caswell that it was William Slade, Captain Abisha Slade's brothers" who discovered curing by charcoal. Mr. Slade did it entirely by accident. He cleaned out a patch and planted some tobacco and worked it in his spare time. When it was housed and ready to cure he realized he'd forgotten to get wood for the fire. He went to the blacksmith shop and got some coal. His tobacco turned bright yellow and he thought it was ruined. Turned out the market loved it and he stuck to curing with coal.6
