Workspace George Slaton estate

Date: 1837 to 1850
Location: Jackson, Georgia, United States

It is of utmost importance to note that George's son William Slatton (abt.1772-bef.1838) died in South Carolina within the administration of George's estate, and many later distributions are to that son William's issue (grandchildren of George), many to the names of husbands of granddaughters.

There are far too many names in this estate to provide links to WikiTree entries, or to even record in full. Anyone interested in Jackson County, Georgia in the late 1830s might find a target of research in the full pages at the links.
