The battle he was wounded in was also known as Antietam. Slaughter was elected Sheriff for Taylor County, and served between 1868-1873. Slaughter Hill (1840-1916) married 1st Missouri Annice Moulton (1846-1900). They had two children: 1) Mandy Frances Hill (1864-1895) who married +William I. Powell (1860-1941) on October 05, 1881. 2) James Green Hill (1866-1927) who married 1st Alice O. McDaniel (1869-1895 on February 13, 1889, 2nd he married Temple "Tempie" McDaniel (1872-1906) on November 01, 1896, 3rd he married Lucy King Waters (1872-1948) on March 14, 1907. Slaughter Hill married 2nd +Martha "Mattie" Theus (1860-1952) on September 30, 1900, no children to this union. Most of these folks are buried at Hillcrest Cemetery in Taylor County in Reynolds. We have learned the true identity of Archibald's wife, Slaughter's mother. It is Samantha Barfield as proved by PZ Hill's (Slaughters brother) death certificate (found by Joan Hill). On the 1850 Marion County Census (on microfilm), it clearly shows her name as Martha, however on the 1860 Taylor County (on microfilm) it clearly shows Mantha. There was only one original census taken. Then several copies were made (by hand) for the local courthouse etc, this is the copy most of us see on microfilm. I believe the original transcriber picked up Martha vs Mantha on the copy. In turn the modern day transcribers also got it wrong in the 1850 and 1860 transcriptions now in all the local history books. It was an easy mistake to make since they look so similar.
