Notes:

Daniel Slayden was born 5th of May 1731, Saint Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia to Arthur and Rachel Murfield Slayden.He is seen as a son listed not only in his father's will, but also in a Louisa County, Virginia Deed Book A, pages 514-515, as his father grants 1 acre of land to Joseph Shelton and John Holt for five shillings on the 23rd of May 1753.The Waller family records indicate that Daniel Slayden married a Anne Waller, daughter of John and Anne Waller of Lunenburg County, Virginia.In Charlotte County Deed Book 4, page 18, shows Anne, wife of Daniel Sladen, relinquished her right of dower.Daniel Slayden and his first wife, Anne Waller Slayden children are proved in Deed Book 15 (1806-1808), pages 271-274.

It is known that Archibald was at this time married to Edith "Edy" Slayton; Clement was living in GA so Robert signed for him; then Abraham served as a witness.] Clement is on a tax list in Pittsylvania Co in 1785, next to his brother Robert. He was likely at least age 21, or born by 1764. He usually is placed as one of the younger sons, but I believe this was not so. Clement Walters' uncle Robert Walters and several of his grown sons also moved to Georgia. Robert and family came in the 1790's and settled primarily in Franklin Co. Old maps show Franklin to have been quite large, encompassing part of South Carolina. A note found in a mail group states that some of his Warmack family deeds start out with the phrase "thought to be in Habersham Co but on survey found to be in Franklin" indicating some confusion about county lines. Franklin Co GA Tax list of 1798 includes Clement Walters. Clement Walters of Franklin Co GA was entitled to two draws in the 1805 Lottery, but drew two blanks; he drew land in 1832 in the Cherokee Land Lottery as a Revolutionary Soldier. [Some references state that he was in the War of 1812 - I believe it may have been the Revolution instead. Only an oath was required of Revolutionary soldiers for the 1832 Lottery. They received a draw even if they had been successful drawers previously.] I have checked books on the 1832 Lottery and can find only these: Charles Waters, 2 draws Charles Waters, Sol Late War 1 draw John B.

[Charles was also a son of Elijah; Abraham L., Charles's son.] [Waters and Walters often confused. The possibility exists that there really was a Waters family also living in Habersham. The 1820 census indicates at least four males in the houshold of Clement that could be adults by 1830. John R. and Obediah, could fall into this category. A William Walters was also named along with Obadiah as Executors of Clement's Will. The widow Eleanor is a mystery.] A John R. Walters married Asenith Higgins on 29 Aug of 1823 in Habersham Co GA another marriages found in Habersham records book: Jeremiah Sammons to Lucinda Waters 21 Dec 1828 [she was a daughter of Charles Walters.] HABERSHAM CO GA MARRIAGES 1819-1850; GenealogyLibrary.com Sebastian Walters married Phoebe Sosebee 27 Dec 1832 Andrew Roe married Margaret Waters on 29 Dec 1836 Adolphus M. Strain married Mary Waters on 25 Jul 1839 These last two must be the young daughters from Clement's Will. A Habersham Co mail group had a post concerning a Lucy Waters who married James Colley and lived in Habersham County. Clement's mother was of couse named Lucy.. In 1840 there was a William Waters living in Habersham, no others of similar name. He was still there on p.256b of the 1850 Census: William Waters age 55, born in GA. His family had only initials. N. A. age 45, female, born in SC. The following young men: G. W. age 16, C. V. W. age 11, and D. W. age 8. Since he was named as one of the Executors of Clement's will, I feel sure he was a son, born about 1795. Will dated 30 Aug 1835, Habersham Co, and proved by Benjamin C. Wyly, Obadiah and William Walters, Executors. Wife Rachel. Children Martha, Mary Ann. [Clement definitely had sons - see the 1820 census. Maybe he had already given to the older children and named only the children by Rachel in his will. Or maybe the original will would provide more information.] Here is a full transcript of the will which does show that Clement married twice and had other children. It also represents several spellings of the surname - Clement was illiterate so chances are good he didn't know how to spell his name and many other members of this family became Waters rather than Walters over time. The fact that it is very easy to cross both the L and the T has made the name difficult to interpret in handwritten documents. LDS #382601 Habersham GA Court of Ordinary Book 1, p.123 Georgia, Habersham County In the name of God Amen, I Clement Watters being in a very low State of health but in My proper mind and Sense make this my last will and testament. I will and bequeath unto my beloved wife Rachel Watters and my two youngest children Martha Watters & Mary Watters all my plantation begining at the Mouth of the Creek comes running down the river to Ezekiel Holcomb's line thence with said Holcomb line until it intersects with Warmack line, thence with Warmack's line to the above named creek thence down said Creek to the beginning Corner including all the lands that I own below said creek on Broad River. the same my wife Rachel Watters and my youngest daughters Martha Watters and Mary Ann Watters to have during the natural life of my wife Rachel Watters or widowhood together with all the other property appertaining to the said Plantation with the exception of one mare and Colt and a Still which are to be sold together with all my land being on Broad River above the Mouth of the above named Creek and the plantation that I bought of Brazzell down where William Walters now lives to pay my debts and the ballance of the money which may be arrived from said sales over and above what pays my debts to be equally divided amongst my first wifes children.

Wyly one of the Subscribing witnesses to the foregoing will appeared in open Court and saith on oath that he Saw Clement Walters sign the Same by making his mark and that he also saw Thomas R.

Carter DCCO The children of Clement shown here or for the most part unproved and speculative based on some of the records as well as online data. I have no clues as to when the first wife died and Clement Walters remarried so cannot venture a guess beyond the fact that it's likely the two young daughters were Rachel's and very possibly the only children of Rachel when he wrote his will in 1835. He did specify that money be divided among his first wife's children and made no other bequests except to the two youngest daughters. Sally Slayden was apparently still living in 1806 so the older children would have been hers.

Reverend William Blair Baptist Minister b. in Pittsylvania County, in 1781. In 1804 United with the Strawberry Baptist Church. The same year was ordained to the ministry was for some time Pastor of that church was also pastor of Kentuck, Upper Banister, Sandy Creek, and Mill? Churches; in addition to these Pastoral duties, he performed valuable service as an evangelist, in Henry, Bedford, Halifax, Charlotte and Mecklenburg Cos. Va and Person, Caswell and other counties NC. He was a member of the Roanoke Missionary Society and was one of the Collecting Agents and was frequently the ______ of the Roanoke Association. The __ of his life, he was called to preach in Caswell Co., NC Before leaving home he said to his son, "if ___________ before ___________ I will Thursday. He ________ yesterday, [released to his soul] was taken sick and died _______________. He was a man of bold and commanding figure, and found _________ grace __________ and a just and fair representative as a minister honored and beloved.

The copy of this text is badly degraded and many words are questionable; no mention is made of a wife; presumably there was one who brought him a son. Further research is underway. The RWA of Jesse Reynolds, s/o William of Culpepper Reynolds says that He (Jesse) names Rev. William Blair as a Character Witness in 1833. It is believed that William of Culpepper Reynolds also came to Pittsylvania County in or around 1781. Several items in the Christine Reynolds Reynolds Memoir do not match facts later learned. She states that William Blair, husband of Sarah Sutter died on one date, but another child is listed born two years later. We have Jesse Reynolds RWA stating Rev. William Blair can vouch for his character in 1833. He could not have died before 1833. - Further research is underway - Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston

Think I found where William Blair is probably buried " Sometime during the 1780's they migrated to Pittsylvania Co., Va. They lived on Tommy Hawk Creek where he died in 1790." William's son Samuel Brittain Blair Sr. home/farm and burial is off RT 750 near Rondo,Va. Tomahawk Creek is right where the farm and building are.I believe I found the "dirt road abt. 1 mile on RT 750 from RT 58 at Rondo" Soon...I'm going to check this out,soon.-Sammy Blair
