After Rowan Slater's father died his mother married the plantation overseer a few years later. There were problems in the family, so Rowan went to live with is sister Jane who was married to a wagonmaker, William Overman. It must have been her son that was the senator. It must not have been common knowledge of Sarah's spy activities. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
