	"CLIFTON H. SLATON was employed on his father's farm until 20 years old,
when he bought wild land near the old homestead & conducted a farm for 4
years.  He was then employed at various pursuits for about 7 years.  Spring
of 1876 he came to Madisonville, where he was employed as salesman in dry
goods store for 18 months.  Then he became partner in wholesale & retail
saddlery and harness  business with Bourland & Slaton of Madisonville for 9
months.  Then he was in the grocery trade at the same place, until March
1881, when he sold out & again farmed until Feb. 1884.  Then he returned to
Madisonville and grocery business again in company with W.H. Jernigan under
name of Jernigan & Slaton.

Kentucky, United States Service and served until the close of the war.
He married in Oct. 1866 to ARMINA F. HENRY, native of Webster Co.  They had
2 children, only 1 living-- MARTHA A. SLATON.

NOTES:
Clifton Slaton was the son of ARTHUR W. SLATON and POLLY O'BRYAN who are
buried in the Pleasant View Cemetery.

Clifton Slaton's first wife ARMINA HENRY was the daughter of MARTHA A.
FOXWELL & ISAAC HENRY of Webster Co., KY.

MARTHA A. FOXWELL was the daughter of JONATHAN FOXWELL & MARTHA BALDWIN.
Jonathan Foxwell was born in Maryland (according to several US censuses)
but removed to North Carolina where he married Martha Baldwin who was born
in NC.  They were in Hopkins County, Kentucky by 1830.  Jonathan Foxwell
died intestate in Webster County, Kentucky in 1876.  Clifton and Armina
Slaton's daughter Martha A. Slaton was an heir of 1/6 of her maternal great
grandfather J. Foxwell's estate according to Webster County, Kentucky court
records.

Jonathan Foxwell's dtr. Sarah McCormick was the mother of Mary
E. Greer who was my Great Grandmother.  I have two links to the Slatons: 1
through Clifton Slaton's wife Armina Henry (granddtr of Jona. Foxwell) and
through Lonnie (my Great Aunt Lenora Greer's husband).
