Donna - SLIFER from my resources for your sorting pleasure. In the Marriage License Index for Frederick County covering 1778-1810, the only SLIFER entry is this: January 14, 1805 SLIFER, David to EASTERDAY, Julianna. In Feb. 1809 he forwarned people from trespassing or fishing on his property. The Torchlight of Oct. 29, 1822 has this SLIFER item: "Died of the prevailing fever, near the Maryland Tract, Frederick Co, John SLIFER, Sen. aged 79y 5mo 3 days." In a Feb 16, 1803 Maryland Herald Stephen SLIFER was living on the place where John SCHNEBLY formerly lived.

In August of 1807 his executor, Jacob Bowe was requesting setttlement of accounts. In 1810 and in January 1811 Ezra SLIFER was selling flour in Boonsboro.
