Reuben Slaughter - 1766-1846

Reuben Slaughter, son of Ezekiel Slaughter, was born in 1766 in Virginia, but after the Revolutionary War traveled to Greene County, Georgia where he, his brother Samuel, and his father Ezekiel won land grants for their service.  It is said that Reuben Slaughter lost a leg in the war, but I have not found proof positive on this.

Reuben Slaughter was given the home place in his father's will but from census records and dither documents he is found living in Upson County along with his brother Samuel and son Reuben, Jr.

2. Slaughters arrive in Jones County 1820 census - Reuben Slaughter Sr.

Note that Reuben Sr. and Reuben, Jr. are in Upson County as well as Samuel B Slaughter.

    Greetings Phyllis,
    Have you come across any probate or will for Reuben Sr? I am a member of the SAR and working on an application for one of your kin - Ezekiel & Reuben Sr are his great-grandfathers and Lawson, also great-grandfather, is then most likely brother to Reuben Jr. I am looking for something to tie Reuben Sr to his son Lawson.

    Thanks in advance.
    Chris
