1870 Census, Surry County, North Carolina


Dobson Township, Surry County, North Carolina, page 261b
8 Jul 1870, dwelling number 43, family number 43
Slaton  Elizabeth  32 f w  keeping house  NC
        James      13 m w  farm laborer   NC
        Margaret   10 f w  at home        NC

Elizabeth Slaton age 32 was Elizabeth Linville. Her husband was Wilcher C. Slaton. Wilcher married Penelope C. France in 1867, and was living with Penelope in Jefferson County, Tennessee in 1870. I have not found a divorce record Elizabeth and Wilcher, and I can only conclude that they must have been divorced prior to 1867.

Wilcher C. (Billy or Buck) Slaton was the son of my fourth great grandparents William Slayden and Susannah Flippin. As such, he was the brother of my third great grandfather Thomas Fielden (Tom) Slaton.
