Author: History of Defiance County, Ohio.  Chicago: Warner, Beers & Co., 1883.

HENRY SLOUGH was born September 16, 1813, near Baltimore, Md., and removed to 
Pickaway County, Ohio, with his parents, in 1821, where he followed the 
occupation of farming.  He was married to Miss ELIZABETH HAYES, of Pickaway 
County, April 10, 1834, and in 1842 he removed from there to Defiance County, 
settling in what was known as Newberry, in Delaware Township.  He found the 
country new here, with few settlements except along the Maumee River, and 
extensive tracts of low, wet timber land extending for miles on either side of 
the river, with game, such as deer, bear, turkey, wolves, wild cat, etc., 
plentiful.  The roads were new and almost impassable.  He went to Brunersburg 
to mill the first time on horseback, and to Defiance to do his trading.  From 
here Mr. SLOUGH removed to Paulding County, renting a farm near New Rochester, 
and after remaining in said county some six or seven years, he removed back to 
Defiance County, settling on a tract of 120 acres of land, he had purchased in 
Section 16, Delaware Township, and erected a cabin house and commenced 
clearing up a farm where he now resides.  

Mr. SLOUGH's family consists of ISAAC N., WILLIAM A., JOHN W., HENRY H., HENRY 
J. and HARRIET J.; all living except HENRY J.  The boys have all been honored 
by their fellow-citizens with the offices of Justice of the Peace and other 
township offices.  J.W. SLOUGH was Sheriff of the county for four years, from 
1864 to 1868, and WILLIAM A. SLOUGH was Auditor five years, from 1876 to 1881.
