Preface

The identification of the man at this profile with the 1771 Rowan/Surry tax record is speculative. But the ramifications from the man at this entry are based on citeable records shown in Research Notes. Here are some of many "red flags" for genealogists to ponder. Because it cannot be proved that the same George Slaten in a 1771 tax list is the man who dies in Georgia in 1837, the following evidence must be interpreted in light of this uncertainty, as it is not clear how many men with this name are represented in records.

Flag one: publications from one author, appearing in the Family History Library, purport to show a father, a full birth date, and a location of Fredericksville parish, Albemarle County Virginia for this man. Since the American Civil War and up to the time of this writing, no such parish records have been found, much less transcribed for posterity, although some vestry records survive. Please do not "contribute" any such ancestral information to this profile unless you have visually inspected actual records, whether citeable online or not. Do not enter contributions based on Ancestry.com Thru-Lines, trees, or FamilySearch PIDs. Many reputable researchers along this lineage were fooled by the seemingly plausible citations in the books of William John Slayton Jr. and copied these into their files, without noticing that there were no verifying citations explaining these details.

Flag two: The profile creator has chosen one among many surname variations. Census records and living descendants indicate Slatten, Slaton, Slaten and Slayton were and are used by descendants or their clerical recorders. For this reason, it is possible (virtually inevitable) that many duplicates along these lines will be unintentionally created on WikiTree, as there is no "correct" way to define this lineage by a single surname.

Biography

This profile is part of the Slaton Name Study.

The identification of the man at this profile with the 1771 Rowan/Surry North Carolina tax record is speculative. ^[1] An earlier ancestor for this man at the time of writing is unknown.

George Slatten appears as in the 1772 Taxable list for Surry County.^[2] along with John Slatten and Major Slatten.

His 150 acres, 4 horses/mules and 9 cattle, but no slaves, is listed after John Slatten's 400 acres on the 1782 tax list for Surry North Carolina. ^[3]

Research Notes and Commentary below suggest that he moved from North Carolina to South Carolina some time between 1786 and 1790. A name like his appears in Pendellon District South Carolina in 1800 and in Georgia Tax records as early as 1804, making it unclear if this is the same man or another George, because George Slatton appears signing an 1822 South Carolina petition and the next year buys land in Jackson County, Georgia, It is quite possible that the 1804 record represents another George Slaten.

George Slayton is presumably the head of household "aged" as 45 or over in 1800 census. ^[4] Because his known issue are reportedly born between about 1771 to about 1790, and he probably died in 1837, 1750 is an estimate. His birthplace is not known.

A spouse or spouses is/are not revealed in any records cited here, and an informant on a daughter Usley's death cert gives her mother, presumably George's wife, as "M" and that she was born in England. ^[5] Please do not post a spouse for him based in uncited family trees, which have begun showing a name for her as "Nancy Jane Roberts" with no cited basis.

It is obvious from land records seen in Research Notes that lands of John Slaten, George Slaten, and Major Slaten were within a circle of less than a few miles in North Carolina and less than fifty miles in South Carolina.

George Slaton died before June 1837, and his estate was administered by what might be two of his sons, Wade and Uriah, ^[6] and records cited below indicate that another son, William, died within a year of his father, as each estate distribution mentions the other. It could be inferred from his estate that his wife predeceased him, but this is unclear. However, it should be noted that George had a grandson named Wade, so identifying these administrators as his sons is not straightforward,

Research Notes

Surname Caution: There was a Staton family surname in Jackson and Hall County, Georgia records, such men named Fleming Staton and Uriah Staton, and in many cases clerks intentionally crossed both upright letters to form Staton, or unintentionally altered Slaton to Staton. Transcriptions below reflect what was written.

His probable first appearance is George Slaten in the Surry County, North Carolina 1771 tithe-petition alongside a Major Slaten, John Slaten, and what might be William Slaten.^[7] The same or similar name appears to be there beyond a grant dated 1779, and on the tax list for 1772, ^[2] 1782, ^[3] 1784, and 1786. George’s North Carolina land entries put his lands in proximity to John Slaten and and the assignee of Major Slaten . There is no consistency of spelling for these surnames, other than never (so far) seen as Slayden. Because it cannot be proved that the same George Slaten in 1771 is the man who dies in Georgia in 1837, the following evidence must be interpreted in light of this uncertainty, as it is not clear how many men with this name are represented in records.

Commentary on possible land entries, tax, and census

George Slatton’s entry no.1060, North Carolina Land Grant of 150 acres is issued March 17, 1779, entered April 3, 1780, into Book 35, page 426, with no accompanying survey.

The State Census of North Carolina 1784-87, Surry County, shows a 1786 list with:
George Slatton with 1 male 21 to 60, 5 males under 21 or above 60, and 4 white females in his household, with no "blacks".
Note that only four males have been clearly connected in later records.
Major Slatton with 1 white male 21 to 60 and 1 white female, with no "blacks".
John Slatton had 1 white male 21 to 60, 4 white males under 21 or over 60, and 5 females, with no "blacks".
These links are based on the idea that these are the same men on the 1771 tithe list, which is a conjecture. The State Census as tax lists are found in a transcribed source that is accurate for these entries when compared to manuscript. ^[8]

Districts and counties in South Carolina:
South Carolina: Former Indian land was being granted as “in the Ninety-Six” ( a court district) from 1784 to 1789. In 1785, Abbeville County was formed from Ninety-Six and in 1786, Greenville County was formed from “unorganized” Cherokee lands and added to the Ninety-Six District, as was Pendleton County in 1789. In 1791, Pendleton and Greenville counties were removed from Ninety-Six District to become part of the newly-created Washington District. In 1800, Washington District disappeared, split off into Pendleton and Greenville Districts. Pendleton County disappeared as a name in 1826, replaced by Anderson and Pickens Counties. South Carolina land in one location can appear in filings under various court jurisdictions and county names because of these jurisdictional changes.

Thus, the Ninety-Six and Washington Court Districts were once superimposed over present Abbeville, Edgefield, Laurens, Newberry, Spartanburg, Union, Pickens, Oconee, Anderson, and a western hunk of Greenville counties. Nearly all of the place-names in this paragraph and the one above might be jurisdictional names where George, John and Major Slaten are found or might be found. Because of this, courthouse or archival clues might require a visit to several counties as well as the State Archives in Columbia, where the colonial plats are housed. And searches might show census records for counties before they existed, such as 1820 Anderson County (not formed from Pendleton until 1826).

Presumably, the same George moved to South Carolina, with a 1789 record reading as "George Slaton of Abbeville," whose South Carolina lands are fed by Rocky River, which flows through Abbeville, just south of Pendleton (now Anderson) County: “Nathan Briant of Greenville County, South Carolina of the one part and George Slaton of Abbeville County, South Carolina of the other part Witnesseth that said Briant for and in consideration of fifty pounds sterling money paid by said Slaton … Briant doth grant unto [Slaton] a certain tract of land containing fifty acres in Ninety-six District, on Little Beaverdam Creek, waters of Savannah River, being part of a tract granted to John Hunnycutt on 6th of November 1786. Teste A Blackburn Nathan Briant James Eason Job Little.” ^[9] The issue of being "of Abbeville" might be that Pendleton was not yet formed and the nearest courthouse was in Abbeville.

It can be surmised that the same George bought land on original Hunnicutt tracts; and then the same George “of Abbeville” bought land in what was Pendleton County, within Ninety-Six District in 1789; that this is the same George who appears in the 1790 census for Pendleton County, South Carolina. While he cannot be positively identified as one man from 1771 Surry NC down to 1837 Jackson County, Georgia, evidence presented below suggests that he is.

George Slatton is in the 1790 Pendleton South Carolina census. Free White Persons - Males - Under 16: 5; Free White Persons - Males - 16 and over:1; Free White Persons - Females: 7; Number in household: 13. ^[10] Note that only four males have been clearly connected in later records.

Land entry in South Carolina: 1791 Ninety-Six District South Carolina land plat for George Slaton, Greenville South Carolina Plat Book 27, page 144 (land is in present Anderson County.) This plat is for 438 acres: June 6, 1791, 438 acres. "I do hereby certify for George Slaton a tract of land containing four hundred and thirty-nine acres surveyed for John Briant the ? day of December 1788 situated in the District of Ninety-six on Little Beaver Dam Creek of Rocky River and hath such form a mark butting a bounderings as the other plot represents. Given under my hand the 6th day of June 1791. Bremar Surv. Gen."^[11]

June 13, 1794 George Slaton to James Eason for 10 pounds sterling for 50 acres on north side of the Little Beaver Dam Creek, part of a tract granted to Slaton on June 6, 1791 by Charles Pickney, bounded by Eason and Thomas Adams. Signed George (X) Slaton.^[12]

By 1795, all of the lands George Slaton had held in Surry County, North Carolina had been granted by Alexander Martin to his nephew Thomas Rogers. According to Martin, the Slaton/Slattons brought suit, later dropped, but there is neither a record of them remaining in North Carolina nor a record of their surrender of the lands; presumably they just walked away or settled privately. Martin clearly implies that they were “poor settlers” possibly squatters, not having “properly processed their titles.” ^[13]

• Alexander_Martin_deposition_1804

George Slatton is mentioned as a debtor in the estate of John White of Greenville County in 1797,^[14] as was Major Slatton, see Major Slaton.

Deed dated 1799: Isham Blankenship of Pendleton District, South Carolina to John Blankenship of the same place, 100 acres of land in Washington District on the water of the Little Beaver Dam of Rocky River being part of the same tract of land that George Slaton now lives on, beginning at a stake corner and running ... crosses the said branch and runs on Thomas A. Carnes' line to the beginning. Agreeable to a contract for compliment being had, the said grant may more fully appear. Consideration $100.00 Signed Isham Blankenship. Witnessed by John Wallace and William Blankenship. Proved by John Wallace before Michael Dicks, J.P., April 21, 1800. Recorded 1804. ^[15]

In the 1800 Pendleton South Carolina census, households are numbered as: 873 Thomas Honey ; 875 Joel Halbert ; 884 John Slaytor 3001-0001 ; 897 William Honey ; 898 William Slaton 001-101 ; 900 George Slayton 00301-4211 (oldest male "of 45 and up", oldest female under 45) , the profile for William is thought to be his son.^[4] What apppears as John Slaytor might be Slayton or a variant of Slater.

• 1808-18 Feb 1812 Sammon Will: George lived near the boundary line between Pendleton (Anderson County) and Greenville District/County, so this Greenville will written by John Sammon in 1808, witnessed 18 February 1812, is cited here because he mentions a tract of land he "bot of Slaton" without fully naming the seller, so this could apply to the man at this profile. ^[16] He mentions lands shown in the Grantee Index as bought from Wm Tinsley (1805, Book G 384, 20 acres), Elijah Gorman (1799, Book E page 222, 29 acres), and James Brock (1799, Book E page 246 150 acres) all on Reedy River, but no Slaton is found there.

1810 Pendleton South Carolina census: George Slaton p. 158A-260 10001-20211 others 0 slaves 3 (oldest male and female "of 45 and up") ; Hayden Slaton p. 158A-260 10010-1001; Berry Slayton p. 158A-260 2001-2101; Wade Staiton p. 158A-260 11101-11; William Honea p. 158A-260 00011-00001; William Slayton p. 158A-260 31000-2 (the strange "young" household of William appears to be his son but with male head absent) ^[17] George's son William married Sarah Honey (sometimes seen as as Honea). Berry is almost certainly George's son Littleberry, , and Wade is yet another son.

Hayden\Haden Slaton is a mystery: he is enumerated directly beneath George in the 1810 census. Berry, William and "Wade Staiton" are presumably sons of George, but not proveably so.

1820 Pendleton South Carolina census (present Anderson County): George Slaton p. 185 000001-00111 (The oldest male and female in George's household are aged "45 & up." ; Uriah Slaton p. 205 310001-3011; William Slaton p. 205 13001-20110; Wade Slaton p. 205 00201-10010; George Slatin Jr p. 205 00020-10100; ^[18]

Note that each census above suggests but does not prove a living spouse.

Mysteries: Our first George Jr., with another male, implying a younger man where none of the “Surry County men,” John, Major or George, leave any estate to a George. That he is younger than George Slatton is clear, but that he is a son of this George Slatton is not supported anywhere else. See George Washington Slaton Sr. (abt.1799-abt.1895) and Aaron Slatton (1804-1895) for theories.

Wade and William are presumably the heads listed as 26-45 years, although 1810 suggested Wade as older. Uriah passes the 44 year mark in this census.

George Slatton appears in an 1822 South Carolina petition along with Adam Elrod and others, proposing a road “[for the benefit of] Waggons from the Westbound trading with Augusta Georgia and . . . inhabitants of the Eastern section.of the District [requesting a road to commence] and leave the Old Keowee road at Peter Hall's old place, where Thomas Christian now lives and to run thence and interpot the road leading from Pickensville to Cambridge [now Greenwood County, once known as Ninety-Six] at or near Widow Foster's old place where John Merritt now lives...November 9th 1822 November 9th 1822.” ^[19] It is unclear if "intrepot" is meant for a warehouse, or a misspelling of "interrupt." This record can be found, in case the link in the citation is now faulty, by using the search term: "Merritt, John" on the South Carolina Archives Search page.

George Slatton at this profile is conjectured to be the man in an 18 Dec 1823 Georgia land record: "Frances Ellison of the County of [Jackson, Georgia] . . . [sell to] George Slaten of the state South Carolina Pendleton District . . . one hundred and thirty acres to the same . . . recorded the 23rd day of December 1823. ^[20] It appears that George, apparently along with most of his issue, except son William, relocated to Jackson County, Georgia. It is possible that a son, sons or other family members preceded him there. Note that George's estate mentions no George Jr., although that name clearly appeared in a South Carolina census record, so determining the number of Georges who came to Georgia is problematic.

At least one Georgia lot won in 1827 and granted in 1837 suggests Revolutionary service, being for two draws in 1827, and granted to “George Slaton R V,” which should mean “Revolutionary Veteran.” But Jackson County George’s estate was in administration by September 1837: if this is the man at this entry, he was dead by mid-June 1837 (as suggested below). There was at least one other George Slaten who moved from Georgia to Illinois, not the man at this entry, but was too young to have served. There are no other service records (muster, pension, etc.) yet found to confirm that the man at this profile served or supported the American Revolutionary forces.

In 1830 census, George is possibly an older man in a son's, daughter's or neighbor's Georgia household, only as a code and not named. No George Slaton or Slatton appears (so far found) as head of an 1830 census household in Jackson County.

Estate

"Athens, Georgia, Newspaper Clippings (Southern Banner)", page 249, issue of June 17, 1837, states: Georgia, Jackson County: Uriah Slayton and Wade Slayton, having in proper form applied to me for permanent letters of administration on the estate of George Slayton, late of said county, this is to cite all and singular the creditors and next of kin of said deceased, to be and appear at my office with the time prescribed by law, and show cause, if any they can, why letters of administration should not be granted. Witness my hand and official signature, (Signed) Sylvanus Ripley, Ordinary.

The Account Settlements of Jackson County Georgia, February 10, 1838, page 310, states: Georgia, Jackson County: Pursuant to an order from the Court of Ordinary of said county will be sold on the first Tuesday in May next, at the court house door at Jackson County, within the legal hours of sale, the following described property: 130 acres, 18 negroes... sold as the property of George Slaton, deceased, for the benefit of the heirs and creditors of said deceased. Terms cash. (Signed) Urah Slaton, Wade Slaton, Administrators.

• Space:Workspace_George_Slaton_estate shows the individual records found in the Jackson County, Georgia volumes and loose papers.

George’s estate distribution indicates likely sons and daughters as legatees: William, Amelia/Millie Smith, Uriah, Littleberry, Wade, Elizabeth Posey, Micha/Mickey (female), Usley Keys, Mary/"Polly" Elrod, Frances (female) Moore or Spearman (unclear), and a mysterious Aron and Jane/Jinney. There is no legatee named George, Major, John or Haden Slaten mentioned.^[21]

Mysteries are:
Aron, in that he does not appear in any other records associated with George (so far), but receives $866 from the estate (as already mentioned, see Aaron Slatton (1804-1895) for theories).
Jane/Jinney Slaton, who is named as George's daughter in one distribution and a granddaughter in another, ^[22] receives over $1000 from the estate, both noting her as an "idiot." She died in 1840 bearing the name Slaton, so presumably unmarried.
Frances Slaton (female) is sometimes seen as Moore, sometimes Spearman, possibly because a daughter might have married a Moore and a granddaughter married Francis Asbury Spearman (1816-1893) (?). These issues are unclear, as well as how many issue might have predeceased him, and whether his administrators purposely ommitted any who should have been legatees.

Another mystery: Haden Slaton does not appear in any other records associated with George (so far), but is enumerated directly beneath George in 1810 Pendleton, South Carolina. ^[23] In January 1839, George's sons Wade and Uriah are bonded to administer the Jackson County estate of the mystery Haden Slaton. ^[24] It seems from this evidence that this Haden might be a sibling of these men, but he is not mentioned in George's estate, while Haden was apparently still alive. An intestate settlement usually names any heirs who might still be living, but George's administrators do not name Haden, nor is it implied as another given name for anyone who is named.

During the distribution, George's son William Slatton died in Anderson County, South Carolina, and the two estates corresponded through William’s administrator, his son John. George clearly "rented" or shared his more-than-a-dozen slaves among his family members and slaves are mentioned in George's estate distribution.

Further Notes

• Birth Date - George's appearance in a 1771 tithe-list indicates that he was of age at the time, suggesting a birth year of 1756 or earlier.

• Spouse - George's spouse has not been identified, other than questionable death cert of daughter Usley Keys where informant John Keys, probably her husband, gives her father as George Slaton, but mother only as "M" and "born in England". ^[5]

• Issue - As mentioned above, 1790 and 1800 census for what appears to be this man suggest five younger males, possibly sons, but only four in the estate. This opens the possibility that a son had predeceased George, while it is known that son William died during George's estate administration. Haden Slaton also died during George's estate administration, but is never mentioned in George's estate. "Aron Slaton" does appear in the estate.

George R. Slayton of Marietta, Georgia, a Carolina yDNA match (see Genetic Clues, etc. below), was able to delineate his own line from George’s son Littleberry Slatton, who left a detailed will and was a slave-holder like his father. ^[25] George created a file of over 42,000 individuals related to him, including his oldest paternal ancestor, the George at this profile.

Tom E. Smith of South Carolina, co-profile manager, was able to delineate his own line from George’s daughter Amelia "Millie" (Slaton) Smith , who married Basil Smith .

Family surnames that are particularly in evidence wherever George is found are Elrod, Moore, Bryan/Bryant, Wellborn/Wilborn, Cleveland, Gilliland, Norris, Smith and Honea/Honey.

Abraham and William of Albemarle Virginia

There is no basis for an ancestor William for George, an early conjecture made by Clinton Slayton in the 1980s. This has regrettably been copied-and-merged by others who did not follow later RootsWeb updates expressing that this should have never been taken as a proven connection. There is no family or marriage known for that Albemarle William Sladen, or another man, Abraham Sladding/Slatten, who was also in 1762 Albemarle debt lists along with a John Slatten.^[26] A family for either William or Abraham would be entirely speculative, but a John and Abraham Slatten are endebted to the same creditor.

There is also no basis for such a William Slading or Slatton marrying a Mary Rodes, only a speculation in a letter by Richard Slatten, now in the Library of Virginia, that William or one of William's family members "must have [married] a Rodes daughter." ^[27] The record of the baptism of a Mary Rodes in St. Paul's Parish in New Kent Co VA in 1702 is certainly not a basis for speculating her later marriage to anyone with a name like Slaton, as the wills/estates of various Rodes men, including Charles Rodes and John Rodes Sr and Jr, never imply any marriage connection to Slatons/Slattons. William and Abraham Slatten were clearly neighbors to John Rodes Jr's 74-75 acre Midway Plantation in Albemarle, and William had his taxes paid by John Rodes in 1787 Albemarle, ^[28] but there is no indication of intermarriage in the families, so no justification for showing a Mary Rodes as a spouse to William or Abraham in any treatment.

Thus, a connection of Abraham or William Slading to George Slatton at this profile is neither proven nor disproven.

Unknown Mary Slaton? Staten?, Jackson County, Georgia Probate

Mary Staten has an estate appraised at $767.25 in 1810, Jackson County, Georgia, but it could also be read as Mary Slaten. Cited here for completeness as a possible spouse for the George at this entry, but this appears to be a widow with land and considerable personal property. ^[29] An administration of this estate is badly needed in case there is a will or intestate division clarifying her name.

Genetic clues, and John and Major

There were at least three similarly named men alive in 1830. As of July 2023, nine men paper-trailed back to them all share yDNA haplotype I-M253, with seven calculated to descend from the man at this entry. (There may be more in future, see the project link at citation below.) Three descendants share a downstream SNP of I-A11036 with three descendants of Captain John Slaten but each George Slatton descendant who tested genomically has a further downstream SNP of I-FT21770 assigned by Family Tree DNA as of July 2023.

See also John Slaten and Major Slaten for possible contemporary men suggested in a 1771 Surry North Carolina tithe list, all of whom have paper-trailed or suspected descendants whose ancestral patriline appears to be shared with descendants of the George at this profile . ^[30] A direct male descendant of Major is eagerly sought for genomic yDNA analysis.
