Frederick was born about 1740. Frederick Sluss ... He passed away about 1829. [2]
The massacre of the Sluss family occurred at Sharon Springs in what was then Fincastle County (now Bland) near the present village of Ceres, Va., August 2, 1774, the year of the Indian uprising known as “Lord Dunmore’s War” and just two months prior to the famous battle at Point Pleasant.
Susannah Sluss, one of the daughters of the massacred family, is my direct line ancestor. She married Henry Kettenring/Ketron and they eventually settled in Sullivan Co., TN. Some of the other descendants settled in Scott Co., some stayed in the Bland Co. area, some went to Indiana and some went to W.VA., as well as other places.
