James Jethro Slade

(14 April 1862 - )
     James Jethro Slade was born on April 14, 1862 in Union Parish, Louisiana.1,2 He was the son of Joseph H. Slade and Elizabeth M. Dumas. James Jethro Slade was New Tag in April, 1863 in Louisiana.3
     James Jethro Slade married Lucy Ann Montgomery, daughter of William L. Montgomery and Julia Florence Coulter, on December 23, 1882 in Louisiana.4
     James was a farmer nearly all of his life. He made the family home first on the road from Oakland to Marion and later moved into the Montgomery home, his mother-in-law's home, about a mile south of Truxno. He was living there when his older brother, Samuel Joseph, talked him into moving to Amarillo to raise wheat. Sam said they could work the land and whatever they made they could keep. This was about the spring of 1904 because their daughter Pearl recalled her baby brother Bill E. cried on the train all the way out there. As it turned out that year the wheat crop was a failure and the Jim Slade family along with his brothers, Ernest and Jerry and their families, had to make a hasty retreat back to Truxno. The situation was so bad that the sweet potatoes did not come up and they ended up digging them up and eating the slips. Sam loaned them money for the trip home but they did not have enough for train tickets for everyone so the men and older boys rode in the box cars while the women and children rode in the passenger cars. Fortunately, Jim had signed his land over to his brother, Wherry, for safe keeping so he was able to reclaim the place when he returned. Wherry did not get caught up in this since his wife refused to go. Across the road from the Montgomery home there was a clump of prickly pear cactus which was likely brought back as a souvenir of the trip.5
     During the siege of the Spanish flu the whole J. J. Slade family came down with it. The nearby neighbors, Henry Atkins' family, supplied food for them on a pole rigged up between two trees and the most able of the Slade family would retrieve it.6 James died on December 23, 1932 at age 70.7 His obituary read as follows:

      Home-Going of J. J. Slade, near Truxno, La. On Dec. 23, 1932, a few minutes past noon, Bro. J.J. Slade was called from Time to Eternity. He was born on April the 14th, 1862, and was advancing well into his 71st. year. He and Miss Exer Montgomery were married in their days of young manhood and womanhood and bore the testimony that they had lived happy together from the time they were married until his death, about fifty years. There were born to that union ten children, six boys and four girls. He left to mourn his going his companion, Mrs. Exer Slade, who is also advancing in years. He also leaves five sons, Herman, Lee, Bryan, Bill and S. J. of Truxno, La. Mrs. David Webb of Truxno and Mrs. Walter Miller of Marion, La., several grand children.

Jethro Slade

(circa 1769 - before 1810)
     Jethro Slade was likely born circa 1769 in Virginia He was first listed on the 1790 Southampton County tax roll which would indicate that he had just reached 21 years old.1 He was the son of Samuel Slade and Mary [?]. Three of Jethro's brothers were on the Southampton tax roll earlier than Jethro, so we conclude that he was the youngest of the four sons named in Samuel's 1789 Southampton County will.2

     Jethro married Mary Harris on July 21, 1792 in Southampton County, Virginia; Jethro's brother, Samuel Slade Jr, was listed as surety and Samuel Kello was a witness for their marriage bond.3,4 Jethro Slade Wm Mackey assigned over 231 acres of his property to Toomer(?) Joyner & James Chappell to be sold for the repayment of a 38 pound, 15 shilling, 2 pence debt with interest due Jordan Denson & Jethro Slade. Excess of sale proceeds to Wm Mackey. Southampton Deed Bk 8, p 104 & 105 on September 11, 1794 in Virginia.5 Jethro purchased the 100 acre messuage plantation in Virginia on August 15, 1795, witnesses were his brother, William Slade, along with William Raiford and Shadrak Johnson.6 He Jethro bought 100 ac of Messsuage Tract from James Uzzzell for 13 pounds, brother William served as witness. on February 12, 1796 in Virginia.7 The lack of the 1800 census for Virginia residents prevents us from using that as a guide to determine the make up of families during this period.
     About 1800, Georgia began opening Indian lands for settlement and created a land lottery system as a way to distribute the Indian lands and to attract new settlers. Jethro undoubtedly saw that as a great opportunity. The Fall Line Road was the major overland migration route from Colonial Virginia to Georgia. The route followed the natural fall line and passed west of Southampton County going through North Carolina and South Carolina into Augusta, Georgia. The road continued through Georgia, passing near the town of Macon. If Jethro traveled overland, it is likely that he followed this route because he first appeared in Washington County, Georgia, not far from Macon. However, it was also possible that Jethro made his journey by water as there were ships transporting passengers from Virginia along the coast to the Georgia. Jethro and his family could have left Southampton County traveling down the Nottoway and Chowan Rivers to Albemarle Sound where a ship could take them to Savannah. From there, they could easily find passage up the Altamaha and Oconee Rivers into Washington County. Elizabeth Drewry's will dated Oct 18, 1802 leaves her 8 daughters, including Sarah Slade [wife of Joshua], each 1/8th of the remainder of her estate. The will is witnessed by Jethro Slade, Elijah Hasty and Jacob Bradshaw.8 He (an unknown value) on October 18, 1802 in Virginia.9
     Evidence indicates that Jethro and his family were in Georgia by 1802. The rules for the 1805 Georgia Lottery required that a participant be a resident of Georgia for 12 months prior to May 11, 1803, have a wife and/or child or children, at least one of the children being under age of 21 years, and be a citizen of the United States in order to be eligible for two draws. Jethro is recorded as drawing two blanks in the 1805 lottery. The blanks indicating that he would not win any land. Fortunately, a list of losers in the 1805 Georgia lottery was retained by the Georgia Archives. Jethro apparently retained ownership of his land in Southampton County, Virginia just in case he did not succeed in Georgia and wanted to return. There was no record found of the sale and his name continued to appear on the Southampton tax rolls until 1807, very likely being signed as proxy for him by one of his brothers.10 He
     During the early 1800's, the Fall Line Road was the major overland migration route from the North East to Georgia. This route passed through Richmond, Virgina; Wake County, North Carolina; Cheraw District, South Carolina; Augusta, and Macon, Georgia. If Jethro traveled overland, it is likely that he followed this route as he appeared in Washington County, Georgia, not far from Macon. However, it is also a possibility that Jethro and his family traveled by water, following down the Nottoway and Chowan Rivers to Albermarle Sound and followed the Atlantic coast. He could travel up the Altamaha and Oconee Rivers to Central Georgia. We assume Jethro's wife and 4 small children accompanied him to Georgia. in 1803. He
     In the early 1800's, many residents of Southern Virginia left for the South to participate in the Georgia Land Lottery. The most direct overland route was along the Fall Line Road which passed through Petersburg, VA, Warrenton, NC; Wake Co, NC; Cheraw, SC; Augusta and Macon, GA. It is likely that Jethro Slade may have traveled this route, although it is also possible that he could have gone by boat. The Nottoway River passes through Southampton County flowing into the Chowan River and then into Albermarle Sound. Ships transported people along the coastline to Georgia. The Altamaha and Oconee Rivers lead from the coast into Washington and Baldwin Counties, Georgia. in 1804.
     Jethro apparently died before 1810 in Georgia, before he could return to Virginia. Family tradition is that he was buried in Washington County. In 1931, James William Slade, a great-grandson of Jethro, wrote to Helen Prescott that he had gone to the cemetery to verify the grave site of Jethro and his wife. J. W. wrote that he was 73 at the time and was living in Sandersville. This compiler found a copy of this letter in Helen Prescott Papers. In March, 2003, Barbara and Hal Dayhuff made a comprehensive ground search of cemeteries in Washington County near Sandersville, but found no clues as to the actual burial location for Jethro or his wife Mary.11,12 He was buried in Slade-Swint-Cox Cemetery, Washington County, Georgia.13

Note: Records from the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery indicate that the Orphans of Jethro Slade drew successfully in that lottery. The land they won was in Early County, Georgia, however a search of the deed records of Early County 1819-1840 found no evidence that the property was ever owned by anyone who might be the Slade orphans or their descendants. It was common that winners often sold their land to speculators for a modest profit without ever seeing the property. That is possibly what happened in this instance. We were not able to identify any of the actual names of the orphans of Jethro Slade, so it is not known whether Simon, Samuel, William or Harris were among the orphans referred to in the 1820 lottery or not.14

Simon Slade

(circa 1795 - )
     Simon Slade was New Tag The Pike County History Book 1822-1989 shows this date and place. However, the US Census Records of Pike County, GA for both 1850 and 1860 indicate that he was born 1795 in North Carolina. Furthermore, the Pike County census records for his twin, Samuel, agree with the 1795 date, however, they state that Samuel was born in Virginia. Our research indicates that the 1795 Virginia is more likely the correct date and place. We have searched numerous county records in both NC and VA, but found no documentary evidence that this family was in North Carolina. However, there are many records indicating the family was in Southampton County, Virginia, during that time period. on May 11, 1792 in Virginia.1,2 He was born circa 1795 in Virginia [please see note below regarding birth].3,4,5 He was the son of Jethro Slade and Mary Harris. Simon Slade enlisted as a private in Captain James Saffeld's Company of Georgia Militia on November 24, 1814 in Clinton, Jones County, Georgia, and served until the 6th day of May, 1815.6 On May 17, 1824 Simon purchased land in Pike County from Aaron H. McFarlin.7
     Simon Slade married first Martha Finney on May 19, 1829 in Pike County, Georgia.8,9 Simon drew Lot #1038 in Section 1, District 14 of Georgia's 1832 Gold Lottery.10 Deed lot 39 to John B Sisson in Georgia on November 26, 1835. In 1837 Simon Slade applied for "letters of dismission" from duties of guardian of Martha Finney, orphan. [We assume this is the same Martha to whom he was married]11
     Simon married second Matilda Rickerson, daughter of Jesse Ricketson and Polly Merritt, on January 4, 1838 in Georgia.12 On April 13, 1848 Samuel sold by deed 101+ acres to W P Tyler & 100 acres to Martha W Redding in Georgia.7 Matilda's sister, Bathsheba Rickerson was living with Simon's family at the time of the 1850 census. Matilda died May 15, 1950.
     Simon married third Holland Barrett, daughter of William Barrett and Mary James, on July 10, 1850 in Georgia.13 Simon sold several tracts of land in Pike County 1852-1859. 10ac to J R Ansley; in Georgia in 1855. 1?ac to Selvaniah Culpepper in Georgia in 1857. 101.25ac to John Lifsey in Georgia on January 31, 1857. 50ac to James M Slade in Georgia in 1861. 50ac to Prudence & D Slade in Georgia in 1863. 1/2#28-9d to Thos J Barret in Georgia in 1868. 1/2#5-9d to Prudence Slade; 1827 L#140, Jones Co, in Georgia in 1868. Simon died on May 13, 1869 in Georgia.14

Simon's obituary was published in the Southern Christian Advocate News, issue of Friday, June 11, 1869 as follows:
     Simon Slade, twin brother of the late Samuel Slade, was born in Virginia in 1792, and died in Pike Co., GA., 13th May 1869. For many months he was paralyzed so that he could not talk. He was distinguished for kindness, mildness and great equanimity of temper, and a stranger to idleness. His head and hand were constantly employed, and he made his bread by the sweat of his brow. He had not an enemy upon earth. He leaves a wife and eight children and a large circle of friends. He was a member of the Methodist Church, for many years. A short time before he died, his wife asked him if he was ready. He told her he was, and wanted to go; that he would soon be in heaven.15

Note: Conflicting information about the date and place of birth for Simon and his twin brother Samuel have caused confusion for many researchers. Simon's obituary, printed in the Southern Christian Advocate states that Simon was born 1792 in Virginia and was the twin to Samuel Slade. US Census of Pike County for both 1850 and 1860 indicate that Simon was born 1795 in North Carolina, similarly, the same census records show his twin Samuel was also born 1795 in Virginia. Simon first appeared on the tax roll in 1816, signifying he had then reached age of 21, supporting the 1795 birth year. The Pike County History Book 1822-1989 gives Simon's birth as May 11, 1792 in Enfield, North Carolina, but we have found no evidence that would support either that date or place. We have searched numerous county records in North Carolina, including Halifax County, where Enfield is located, but found no evidence that any Slade family was in that area during the time span that Simon could have been born. Marriage records of Southampton County, Virginia show that their parents, Mary Harris and Jethro Slade were married in that county on July 12, 1792 making the May 11, 1792 birth date questionable. Tax and other records indicate that their father Jethro did not leave Southampton County, Virginia until after 1800, making the North Carolina birth location unlikely. The evidence leads us to conclude that Simon and Samuel were born in Virginia, not North Carolina, about 1795, not 1792.16,2,5

Harris Slade

(circa 1799 - 7 June 1853)
     Harris Slade was born circa 1799 in Virginia.1,2 He was the son of Jethro Slade and Mary Harris. Harris drew a blank in Wilkinson County in the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery.3 He was called as Juror on January 26, 1820 in Jones County, Georgia.1 Harris Slade married Elizabeth A. Davis on January 10, 1821 in Georgia.4
     It is likely that he removed to Talbot County soon after 1827, when that county was first opened for settlement. Harris Slade appears in Talbot County Superior Court Records March 1829 term in a case titled Moses Harris, indorser vs Harris Slade, maker assignment for plaintiff.5 1830 census excerp. Harris Slade served as a 2nd Lieutenantin the Georgia militia in Talbot County, Georgia, between February 12, 1834 and January 1, 1835.6 In Georgia in 1836. He served as a Grand Juror for the March term 1838 in Georgia.7 1840 census excerp. He purchased land & slaves from R. A. Hall on August 1, 1840 in Georgia.8 He purchased 150 acres of land from Wm B. Wallace in Georgia on November 13, 1843.8 Harris died on June 7, 1853 in Georgia.4 The location of his burial site has not been found.

Note: Harris has not been found in the 1850 census, therefore, the date and place of his birth had to be estimated based upon other evidence. He served as juror and also first appeared on a Georgia tax roll in 1820 indicating he had reached age of 21. This agrees with his age limits as estimated from 1830 & 1840 census. No record indicating a location where he was born has been found, but his parents were in Southampton County, Virginia during the time period when he was born.2,1

Albert Bell Vaughn

(March 1819 - 2 October 1896)
     Albert Bell Vaughn was born in March, 1819 in Virginia.1 He was New Tag in 1823 in Virginia.2
     Albert married Charlotte A. Slade, daughter of Samuel Slade and Chloe Harrison, on July 3, 1845 in Jones County, Georgia.3 Albert Bell Vaughn (an unknown value) in 1850. He was Minister of the Gospel.4 He was a farmer with real estate valued $2,400 and $13,035 personal property [indicating slaves]. On October 10, 1864 in Pike County, Georgia, Samuel G Slade, A B Vaughn & James W Hall were issued letters of Administration for the will of Samuel Slade.5 Albert died on October 2, 1896 in Cobb County, Georgia, at age 77.6
     His obituary in the Cristian Index stated: On Friday, the 2 inst., Rev. A. B. Vaughan, Sr., died at the home of his son, Mr. W. S. Vaughan, in Cobb county, in the 78th year of his age, having been born in March, 1819.
     Born and reared in old Virginia, brother Vaughan came to Georgia when quite a young man. In 1845 he was married Miss Charlotte Slade, daughter of Mr. Samuel Slade, who for many years was an honored citizen of Pike county. Brother Vaughan lived in Pike county for nearly thirty years, where he reared seven sons and two daughters. His third son is Rev. A. B. Vaughan, Jr., who has been pastor of the Canton Baptist church for eleven years.

     Brother Vaughan belonged to the old type of strong country preachers. Although in early life he had scarcely any educational advantages, he nevertheless, was a judicious reader and succeeded in procuring a library far above that of the average country preachjer. He was markably well versed in what the Scriptures teach, and although he never read a book on the subject, yet he evinced a fair knowledge of the so systematic theology, which he thought came out from the study of the Bible itself.
     He was particularly fond of close, abstract reasoning, and nothing delighted him more than to hear some good reader read aloud books of that character. He passionately loved the great doctrines: Election, Predestination, Atonement. He could never accept Andrew Fuller's view with reference to the extent of the atonement. His style of preaching was argumentative, and often evinced that, had he enjoyed the necessary training in his youth and young manhood, he would have ranked among one of Georgia's strongest country preachers. Of Dr. Tucker, both as a man, a preacher and a writer, he was passionately fond; and when that prince in Israel passed away in 1889, he mourned for him as he would for an only brother.
     An humble country preacher, who had, in the years that are gone, been a large contributor to the Lord's cause, and who, when his property was swept away, although given to days of distressing melancholy, had yet labored effectively in building up churches in destitute sections, has gone to his reward. Last Sunday was his first day in heaven with Ryals and Tucker, Branham and Campbell, whom he loved as he did few men. He was baptized by Rev. Jessee Campbell.
     Rev. Vaughan was a man of marked peculiarities (which doubtless were due to severe financial losses) on acccount of which many did not understand him. He died of Bright's dissease, but in the triumphs of a strong faith in Christ Jesus the Lord. Only a few days before he lost consciousness, he said to his son, Rev. A. B. Vaughan, Jr., "I cannot tell you, and would not if I could, what I have suffered, but it will soon be over; I have a home up yonder," pointing towards the heavens. The Lord bless and strengthen the bereaved.6
