Hugh Slater was b. in Copiah Co., MS in 1828. He was the oldest son of John Slater, b. 1797 in Jefferson Co., MS and Clarissa Fletcher, b. @1804 in (prob.) Jefferson Co., MS. The family is enumerated on the Warren Co., MS Census in 1830, 1840 and 1850. There were several other siblings to Hugh. Does anyone have any information on this family? Barbara Bishop mccool@wtp.net
