William T. Slayton, a descendant of a Henry County pioneer family, was born in 
Shawnee township May 22, 1850. He is a son of James and Susan Howerton 
Slayton, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of North Carolina, who 
came to Henry County and settled in Shawnee township about 1840. James 
Slayton was a son of Thomas Slayton, who came to this county in 1839 and 
settled in Big Creek township, and later settled in Shawnee township. He was one 
of the first settlers in that section. W. T. Slayton is one of a family of three 
children born to his parents, the others being Fannie, who died at the age of 
thirteen years, and Nannie, married Isaac Adair and is now deceased. William T. 
Slayton was united in marriage in 1874 to Miss Harriet Rogers, a daughter of 
Sterling and Kittie Ann Rogers, who came to Henry County shortly after the Civil 
War and are both now deceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Slayton have been born two 
children: Leonard, farmer in Big Creek township, married Emily Walker, and Mrs. 
Minnie Smith, on the home place with her mother.
