     Thomas married second Frances Emma Taylor circa 1884.2 Thomas died on March 24, 1900 at age 69 and was buried in Fincher Memorial Cemetery, Meansville, Pike County, Georgia.5 His obituary read:
     Hon. Thomas Jefferson Barrett was born Feb. 28, 1831 and died in great peace at his home in Pike County, Ga., March 24th, 1900. Bro. Barrett professed religion at a camp meting near Fincher's church in 1848 anf united with the family church at that place, and for more than a half century his name has been on the official roll of that church. In every office and in every place he was efficient and faithful. He was greatly beloved for his excellencies of head, heart and life. Having had all the advantages to be inherited from fine parentage and his environment conducive to the formation of that splendid character that crowned his life and made it beautiful. He was thus prepared for a noble work and for a sphere of great usefulness.
     In 1851 he was happily married to Miss Manerva Slade, a noble Christian woman, well worthy of him. Together they built up a happy home pervaded by an atmosphere of courtesy and kindness which reached and influenced everyone who came within its hospitable walls. Here in his home and in the various social relations of life, his character shone with highest luster, and his frank affectionate nature was best exemplified.
     Bro. Barrett was progressive and sought to aid his county and community in every possible way, morally and financially. He served his county faithfully as Representative, and as Chairman of the "Board of County Commissioners" and made an enviable record. His heroic work for the Prohibition cause will abide forever. He was liberal beyond his means. He was genial and cordial and loved to put sunshine in the lives of others. He never purposely put a shadow on the brow of anyone or gave pain to any human heart. He never yielded a conviction on but possessed the happy faculty of maintaining his opinion without being offensive to others. He did not turn the world upside down but steadily strove to raise it to a higher cause.
     His second marriage was also a very happy one, with Miss Emma Taylor, an estimable Christian lady. The devotion of the wife to her husband and home was beautiful beyond words. The desire to save those comforts so sweet to ripening age inspired her devotion and filled her life with loving service. May the widow's Friend and the orphan's God, care for her and her six children. For several years he was in failing health, the real nature of his malady being difficult to ascertain. He was stricken with something like paralysis from which he never recovered, but gradually grew worse - until Saturday morning [when] he quietly passed away. Before his mind as so seriously involved, he seemed anxious to go and be with the Lord. A lucid moment came just before he died and he spoke of seeing his mother and his wife who years ago passed beyond the everlasting hills. The end was peace. "Death had no sting, the grave no Victory." He had only "to wrap the drapery of his couch about him and lie down to pleasant dreams," to be awakened by dear ones waiting for his coming amid the loving splendor of the eternal City.6

Samuel Slade

(14 June 1723 - 21 November 1789)
     Samuel Slade was born on June 14, 1723 in Charles Parish, York County, Virginia.1,2 He was the son of Joshua Slade and Sarah [?].3,4 Samuel Slade was baptized on August 10, 1723 in Charles Parish, Virginia.1 He York County is only a short distance north of Southampton County making this scenario quite reasonable. Perhaps a future researcher will have the opportunity and diligence to pursue this lead and either prove or disprove this relationship.
      Court order instructing Samuel Slade to pay Elias Love 50 pounds tobacco for serving as witness against Benjamin Brittain.5 Samuel Slade married Mary [?], as indicated in his will; Although a marriage record has never been found, it would have been about 1745-1755, based on the approximate birth years of their sons.6 Samuel Slade The first record found for Samuel Slade in Southampton County, Virginia was in 1755 when Elias Love appointed "my friend, Samuel Slade" as executor of his will.7 He (an unknown value) on February 8, 1759 in Southampton County, Virginia.8 He (an unknown value) on January 13, 1760 in Virginia.9 He On 14 Apr 1760, Samuel was named Exectutor, along with Benjamin Denson, in the will of his friend Elias Love. Witnesses were John Denson, John Forgueson and Eleanor Power. Elias Love was previously from York County, Virginia. This, along with the fact that Samuel named his first son Joshua, gives further credence to the possibility that our Samuel is the same as the one born in Charles Parish, York County.

on April 14, 1760 in Virginia.10 On March 11, 1762 Samuel and Lewis Joyner appraised the Estate of John Denson in Virginia.11 Samuel appraised the Estate of Hodges Council, Jr. with Giles Joyner and William Joyner as witnesses on September 9, 1762 in Virginia.12
     Samuel would have been the right age to have participated in the Revolutionary War, but no evidence has yet been found that he did.
     Samuel Slade died on November 21, 1789 and his Will was filed for probate in Southampton County on 14 October 1790, indicating that Samuel wrote his Will sometime prior to 21 Nov 1789.13 Samuel's will named his wife Mary, four sons, Samuel Jr., Joshua, William and Jethro, as well as mentioning 7 younger children who were not named. The un-named children have not been further identified. Therefore, they are not included in the list below of the children of Samuel and Mary. It is possible that the Mary Slade who married Thomas Grizzard on April 2, 1791 in Southampton County, was one of those younger children. Mary Grizzard also appeared in settlement of accounts of Samuel Slade [Jr] in January, 1815. No further evidence confirming this family relationship has been found. He The exact birth date and place of Samuel Slade has not been established. However, it should be noted that there was a son Samuel born to Joshua and Mary Slade in nearby York County on 14 July 1723 and baptised 10 August 1723. York County is just North of Southampton and this was the only record found of a Samuel in counties nearby Southampton.3

He was New Tag on July 14, 1723 in Charles Parish, Virginia.3 He was New Tag on August 10, 1723 in Charles Parish, Virginia.3

A transcription of Samuel Slade's 1789 will can be seen here. He

Samuel Slade's will is transcribed as follows:

     I, Samuel Slade of the County of Southampton, being in my perfect senses and memory, think fit to make this my Last Will and Testament in manner and form as Follows:
     I lend unto my well beloved wife Mary Slade the Manner
Plantation with the one half of the land belonging thereto and if my wife Mary Slade should die, then the plantation and the land above mentioned, to be held by my two sons William and Jethro until the twenty fifth day of December one thousand seven hundred and ninety three.
     I give and bequeath unto my son Joshua Slade the remainder of my land and after the death of my wife Mary Slade, if she lives until the above mentioned date the of my land and if my wife Mary Slade should die before the date above mentioned, then after the year 1793, then all my lands returns to Joshua Slade, to him and his heirs and assigns forever, all the removable estate of all kinds whatever after payment of my debts I give unto my wife Mary Slade during her natural life and then to be equally divided between my seven youngest children. Also I appoint Samuel Slade my soul and soul executor to see this my Last Will and Testament proved and performed. Whereunto I have set my hand and affixed my seal this the 21st Day of November in the year of our Lord 1789. signed:

Mary [?]

(between 1720 and 1735 - circa 1799)
     There is little known about Samuel's wife, Mary, other than her name is mentioned in his will, and after his death, she was named in some property and tax records in Southampton County. It is possible that she was daughter of Elias Love, who left part of his estate to his friend, Samuel Slade.1 She was likely born some time between 1720 and 1735 in Virginia. Mary [?] married Samuel Slade, son of Joshua Slade and Sarah [?], as indicated in his will; Although a marriage record has never been found, it would have been about 1745-1755, based on the approximate birth years of their sons.1 Mary [?] was New Tag in 1741.

Nottoway Parish, Southampton County, Virginia, listing the 77.5 acres she inherited from her husband's estate. She did not appear on the tax roll in 1801, but her son Joshua increased his acreage that was taxed by 77.5 acres. This indicates that Mary likely died during the prior year and Joshua received the second part of the inherited land in accordance with his father's will.Mary [?]2

Joshua Slade

(between 1751 and 1761 - before 12 July 1823)
     1 Joshua Slade was the son of Samuel Slade and Mary [?]. [We estimate his parents were married about 1750 and he was born about 1751] Joshua was born before 1761 as he was listed on the 1782 tax roll of Southampton County, Virginia indicating he was at least 21 years old at that time. The 1810 Southampton census list his household with one male over 45, supporting this birth assumption.
     Joshua married Sarah Drewry.
     The Southampton County tax roll of 1795 lists Joshua with 77.5 acres of land. This appears to be the first half of the 155 acres that he inherited from his father. Joshua continues reporting the same taxable land each year until 1801, when his land holding doubles to 155 acres. This indicates that his mother likely died the previous year and he then acquired her half of the land in accordance with his father's will.2 On 16 Oct 1801, Joshua sold 33 acres in Nottoway Parrish, Southampton Co. to Amos Gardner.3 Joshua & wife Sarah sold 33 acres to Amos Gardner for 32 pounds. Property bordered Jacob Joyner and Amos Gardner. Witnesses: James Gardner, John Davis, Benjamin Vick.4 On February 15, 1802 Samuel Slade, Jr. & wife Lettise sold 105 acres in Southampton County to Joshua Slade for $150. Land bordered John Crichlow, Elias Hale, Henry Love, and Joshua's existing property. Witnesses: Nicholas Brister, James Gardner, Lemmy Council. The deed indicates that Samuel, Jr. lived in Nasemond County, Virginia, Upper Parish, at that time.2,4 Joshua Slade was New Tag 227 Ac increased 105 Ac in 1803 (year 1808 missing) from 1803 to 1812 in Nottoway Parish, Southampton County, Virginia.2 The 1815 Directory of Virgina Land Owners list Joshua Slade, 8E, Southampton County.5 Joshua & wife Sally sold 77.5 acres to James Cotton for $232.50. Land bordered John Blythe, Amos Drake, Henry Davis, Patience Jenkins. Witnesses: John C. Gray, William Ricks, William Exum.6 He made his will as follows:
     I Joshua Slate of Southampton County do make this my Last Will and Testament in manner and form following Viz.
I give my grandson Joseph Slate forty acres, to be laid off on the north side of the old plantation, to him and his heirs forever.
I give unto my daughter Rebecca Slate the sum of five dollars.

I give unto my daughter Phoebe Drake one feather bed and furniture, bed stead and ten dollars.

I give unto my son Miles Slade all the rest of my lands and rent and residue of my property of every kind whatsoever not here before given away, out of which he is to pay all just debts, to him and his heirs forever. I do hereby constitute my son Miles Slade my only executor to this my Last Will and Testament, revoking all Wills and Testaments heretofore me made.

He was borned in Pike county, two miles south of Zebulon, January 27th 1839.
On September 15th, 1859, he married Pelletia Winfred Vaughan. To this union were borned nine children, by seven of whom he is survived: Mrs. W. E. Powell, of Griffin; Adel Slade, Orlando, Fla; J. J. Slade, Zebulon; Burton Slade, Griffin; Mrs. P. M. Sullivan, Zebulon; Miss Julliet Slade, Zebulon; and Colquitt Slade, Jacksonville, Fla. He united with Mt. Olive Baptist Church on a profession of faith in September 1861. In 1872, he moved his membership to the Zebulon Baptist Church, where it liked only some months of having been for fifty years.
     He enlisted in the Confederate Army in the latter part of 1861, as a private and was assigned to the 27th Georgia Regiment, serving under General Hoke. Before the war closed he had been promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant. As an example of his faithfulness to duty, on one occasion he was in charge of a certain bridge and had been given orders not to allow any passing across the bridge whatever. General Lee and his staff desired to cross but in order to be sure about the matter he required them to secure the necessary papers and was commended for his act by General Lee. In the death of Mr. Slade, Pike county has lost one of it most honored citizens and with the members of his family, his surviving comrods of the sixties his church, and a host of friends mourn his passing.6

Thomas Jefferson Slade

(9 June 1851 - 2 September 1892)
     Thomas Jefferson Slade was born on June 9, 1851 in Meansville, Pike County, Georgia.1 He was the son of Simon Slade and Holland Barrett. Thomas married Nancy J Storey, daughter of Enoch M Storey and Mary Elizabeth Hagan, on February 7, 1872 in Pike County, Georgia.2 Thomas J Slade served as the Sheriff of Pike County and was accidently killed in the line of duty. The Pike County Journal chronicled the incident on August 19, 1892:
      Zebulon and all Pike county was thrown into wild excitement and gloom Monday morning over the accidental shooting of Sheriff T. J. Slade by J. S. Sullivan, our town Marshall. The said accident occurred on Dr. Crawley's place near Orchard Hill in this county Monday morning at three o'clock, where the sheriff had gone in company with Jack Sullivan, John Ferguson and a Mr. Taylor to capture Walt Graham, who is wanted here for the murder of his brother. They went to a swamp on Dr. Crawley's place where it was understood the man was hiding and separated to look for him, Slade and Ferguson entering the swamp and Sullivan and Taylor remaining on the opposite side to watch. Slade and Ferguson walked around over the swamp awhile and lay down under some bushes listening. They scarcely had concealed themselves before Sullivan and Taylor, in wandering around came in contact with them, each mistaking the other for the man whom they were hunting. Taylor seeing Slade's and Ferguson's pistols, snapped a Winchester rifle at them, but, fortunately it failed to fire. Slade and Ferguson were in the act of shooting when the other two men turned running for fear of being killed. As they turned to run, Sullivan threw his pistol awkwardly back and fired two shots in quick succession, one of the balls taking effect in Slade's head an inch or two from his left ear and taking a downward course. Several minutes had passed after the shooting before the developments of this horrible affair come to the knowledge of the posse. Mr. Slade was placed in a buggy and brought to Zebulon where he remained unconscious for nearly two days, though resting some easier. Drs. Head and Clark were called to his bedside and did all in their power to save his life. Dr. Westmorland of Atlanta was telegraphed for and came down on the 6 o'clock train Monday afternoon. He pronounced the wound as serious as possible not to have resulted in immediate death. About one-third of the ball was extracted which had fractured the skull bone in a frightful manner. Sheriff Slade has made an excellent officer and a more popular man can't be found in the county.
     The newspaper ran a follow up story on September 3: Last week we stated that Sheriff Slade was weaker than ever and that his condition was growing worse. A small hope was still left, however, and to this his dear ones clung. All that medical attention and careful nursing could do was done, but last night the little spark of life went out about 3:30 o'clock. Tom Slade was a true man in every relation of life and his death was a great loss to our county as well as to his family.3
     Thomas Jefferson Slade died on September 2, 1892 in Georgia at age 41.1 He The local newspaper chronicaled cause of the accident and his subsequent death.

     Zebulon and all Pike county was thrown into wild excitement and gloom Monday morning over the accidental shooting of Sheriff T. J. Slade by J. S. Sullivan, our town marshall. The said accident occurred on Dr. Crawley's place near Orchard Hill in this county Monday morning at three o'clock, where the sheriff had gone in company with Jack Sullivan, John Ferguson and a Mr. Taylor to capture Walt Graham, who is wanted here for the murder of his brother.

     Sheriff Slade has made an excellent officer and a more popular man can't be found in the county. We hope to mention his recovery in some future issue.

The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia: August 26, 1892
Sheriff Slade No Better - It is indeed with regret that we inform our readers that Sheriff Slade's condition at this time is extremely serious. For several days he improved very perceptibly, but on Wednesday night he had a serious sinking spell, from which he has only partially rallied. Friends have watched and prayed by his bedside both day and night, but grave fears are apprehended that he cannot survive a few more sinking spells, such as the one on Wednesday night.
