1906. under Maryland Letter Box. there
4 was a query asking for the parents
of Jonathan Slaughter, who married
Rachel Anderson In 1868, and who lived
| in Delaware. near the Maryland line.
/, The party sending this query also
stated that although he was without
| proof, yet 1t had come down to him as
tradition that this Jonathan Saugh-
ter was descended from the Virginia
slaughters. Now, my grandmother Mrs
Elizabeth Ann Hull DeCainp, OF Cincin-
! natl Ohio. a daughter of the Ann
| Slaughter above mentioned. states that
| she had an uncle. Jonathan Slaughter
| q presume she means great-uncle, as
I her mother. Ann Slaughter. had no
( brothers of the full blood. This would
4 make my --Slaugh OF Annapolis
/ the brother of this Jonathan Slaughter.
! think the above tradition, with or
without the supposed relationship with
| my -------- Slaughter. is evidence tend
| ing to show that this ----- Slaughter
was also a descendant of the Virginia
/ Slaughters. The nearness of Annapolis
| to Virginia is also ] think. evidence
! of the descent. In the Baltimore Sun
/ day Sun Virginia Heraldry) there was
! published in February, 1906. gene
\ alogy- of the defendants of Robert
and Frances Anne (Jones) Slaughter,
OF Virginia. by Jane Griffith Keys
However, found no record of my
! Slaughter. who fixing his birth at
about 1850, would just ut in in the
! fourth generation, counting Robert as
/, the first.
Now can the editor of this column or
Mr. Alfred Slaughter or Miss Jane Grif-
nth Keys or any OF the readers of this
query tell me II my Slaughter,
OF Annapolis, Md. was a descendant
of this Robert and Francis Anne (Jones)
Slaughter, and, IL so. his exact descent;
also. his full name and when and where
lie was born? Also. If not descended
from the Virginia Slaughters. II he be-
longed TO a distinct Maryland family
OF Slaughters, or whether he was de-
scended from Slaughters who had set
tied further north. tTherc were mem
bers of this family who very early
settled in New York and New Jersey.)
would also like to know the full name
of his wlie Elizabeth ---, and when
and where they were married
ls anything further known of Thomas
Slaughter who removed from St Marks
Parish, Culpeper county, Virginia In
1863. of himself and his descendants?
The alfred Slaughter who is referred
to above had query in the Baltimore
Sun some eima ago.
Hoping that may receive some in
formation concerning the above de-
scent, etc, l am,

Answering the above. we can give the
full gerealogy of the Massachusetts, and
Connecticut Huls: but whether the Hulls
of Virginia are OF the same family, cam
not tell. The writer OF this column is a
descendant of the New England fIulls
| of the third generation from Cen WY
liam Hull, of the War OF 1872: but we
know of no descendants now living Of
the surname Hull.
The other questions desired must pe
deferred.

'Will you please give what information
you can gather of the Luster family of
Virginia? l think the name was oriEi-
naly spelt Leicester Can you furnish |

The above will be complied with as
soon as can be looked up. The same we
