Here is a little more on the Slaughters (and Averys). John M. and some of his family went to Kansas in about 1880 but he returned to Jackson Co. after a short time.His son, Abraham, married in Kingman, KS and died there. Most of their children went to OK. John M.'s brother, Elijah Slaughter, m. Simonia Fairchild "Sarah" Avery in Jackson Co. She was sister of Mary and was born in IL but raised by foster parents in Smithland, KY. She d. 1931; both bur.Cottageville Cemetery. I think that the Schuls must have come from KS as they are not mentioned in any Jackson Co. records.
