I have a SLAUGHTER in my database. His name was Hyram B Slaughter, born April 27, 1903, in Callahan Co., TX. He died March 16, 1997, in Breckenridge, Stephens Co., TX. He married Ruth Mae HARRISON about 1920-1922 and their daughter was named Constance Jean Slaughter, born April 21, 1933. Also, I would like to know more about your CARTERs. I have an Oscar Wilde Carter, born Stephenville, Erath Co., TX, in 1888. He married my mother's sister, Berlin MCKINNEY. He died in Breckenridge in 1975. ----- Original Message ----- From: "R Wolff" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 12:44 PM Subject: [ERATH] Slaughter, Thurber City 1900 > HIP HIP > HARRAH! > > > I found my grandfather in the 1900 CENSUS RECORDS !!!
