Research Notes

Estate notices in Richmond Enquirer 1833 -1835, show a Peter Slayden, deceased, whose estate is defended against plaintiff Thomas Binford. Among the defendants are: Peggy Crutchfield, James Powers, Nancy Powers, and Nancy Kernan, with Edward W Sims, administering the estate. Eventually over $6000 is ordered to be paid out to plaintiff in 1835. Because of this, Diamond Mills, described as 220 acres on Slate River, with Sawmill and two stones, is sold. [2]

  • Jefferson and Margaret are first cousins

Jefferson (Jones) Slayden (abt.1812-1867) and Margaret Webb (Crutchfield) Slayden (abt.1810-aft.1860) are both descendants of Sarah (Groom) Slayden (1754-aft.1835). She was their grandmother.
