Hi Jerry: Well, that settles the issue. According to that notice, Jeremiah surely was not related to the Frederick Co. Slick's. I had thought that perhaps he might be the s/o Jacob Slick=Margaret Otto, in that Jacob died young and Margaret was left to raise the kids, but she appears to have had them all with her until they became of age. Thus, at this point,I have no idea who the parents of Jeremiah were. Also, that kind of rules out any connection to William Slick, the Rev. War Vet. George Wright <gfwright@earthlink.net>
