William Augustus Slater's father is listed as William (S. ?) Slater, age 45, born in Killingly, CT - farmer. William Augustus Slater's mother is listed as Eveline (middle name LOOKS LIKE Alwjlder) Howlett, age 28, born in Foster, Rhode Island. Number of child is listed as "3", so William Augustus Slater has siblings. I, also have the Marriage License for William A. Slater - age 18 at time of marriage - (married Alice E. Keach - age 17 at time of marriage) and the name of his mother is "Eveline" NO MAIDEN NAME, birthplace of mother is, "Mass." The name of William A. Slater's father (on his marriage license) is William A. Slater, birthplace of father is, "Mass." Alice E. Keach and William A. Slater were married on 3 June 1905 in Danielson, Connecticut. I believe that the William A. Slater that married Alice E. Keach is the same William Augustus Slater that was born on 20 Nov. 1887. Since Alice E. Keach is my Great Grandfather's sister, I am seeking information to verify this - particularly looking for info about William A. Slater's mother, Eveline A. Howlett. There are quite a few William Slaters' and I think that by concentrating on Eveline A. Howlett I can find some answers. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
