Note:
The acceptance of this man as a son of John & Susannah is "traditional." This John is not proven to be descendant, but is based on date and proximity of records. Before Hopkins co KY was formed, KY consisted of very large counties that were eventually whittled down. It is suspected that this John, along with presumed brothers Edmund and Arthur, are to the KY pioneers of the family, be found in Nelson co KY tax records until Hopkins was formed. Note that presumed brother James was in nearby Bedford co TN. As the SHELTONS were to the VA Slaydens, with more than a half-dozen marriages, the ASHBYS were to the W KY group here. Also, the names O'Bryan, Bourland, Orton and Sisk show up in many marriages. Among the unusual given names that may provide clues to marriages are: Thurn/Thorn, Vaden, McGary, Clendenning. It is just as likely, however, that they were named for preachers or political figures in the area. Hugh McGary was a W KY pioneer.
MINEFIELD: Another Arthur, a presumed son of Arthur Slayden 000 and presumed brother of this John , produced a son John who came to Henderson co KY, near to Hopkins, where he prospered and produced a family with similar names to those in the family treated here: John, Clifton, Robert.
Charles G Bourland to AJS (Rachel)
MINEFIELD: There were several mature John Slatons by 1793, and identifying them is not possible.

Hopkins co Deed Book 2, p 121- John Slaton, Charles Bradly, Edmund Slaton and John Littlepage Commissioners appointed [skip] [Sept Term 1816] by a decree of that court pronounced in a suit in chancery [brought] by Joseph Loving and Susanna, his wife Jesse Herren and Rebecca, his wife, and Samuel Bourland, adult children and heirs-at-law of William Bourland, deceased, complainants against Martha Bourland, John Bourland and Baylis E Bourland, infant children and heirs-at-law of the said Wm Bourland, dec', Defendants [sell to James Carnahan of Hopkins for $300.60 ½] 200 acres [skip] on the waters of Flat Creek [skip] part of a 400 acres tract granted [to] Wm Bourland, dec'd, [by patent of Jan 24, 1816]
The Richland Baptist Church was formed on February 3, 1837.
During the 1830s the Highland Association of Baptists had become violently opposed to missionary effort and benevolent work, forbidding its member churches to perform any such work and persecuted those which did.
In 1837 four members of the Richland community broke away to form a new church. They were Reddick and Elizabeth O'Bryan and Isham and Sophia Slaton; who with the help of two ministers - John Bourland and Timothy Sisk - wrote the new church constitution.
The first pastor was John Bourland. The first Deacons were Reddick O'Bryan and John Slaton. The first baptisms were Emeline O'Bryan and Juliet Sanders.
It is not possible to say with certainty that these are one Hopkins man or that any of them was the Nelson man. I would say the age progression looks right, and that he died between 1840 and 1850.

NOTES:
Be it known to all men by these presents that I Edmond Hodges of Pittsylvania County have made and declared my last will and testament in writing bearing date the seventh day of September 1778. I the said Edmond Hodges by this present Codicil do ratify and confirm my said last will and testament, except my daughter Susannah Slaydon'sequal part of my moveable estate which I do hereby revoke and annul as she has since deceased. I do will and bequeath the same part of an equal part of my moveable estate which was allotted her to be equally divided among her six children viz, James Slayton, Rachel Slayton, Pattsey Slayton, John Slayton, Edmund Slayton and Arthur Porter Slayton, to them and their heirs. My will and meaning is that this Codicil be adjudged to be a part of my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of February 1782.
The William Bourland mentioned as husband of Rachel is the second William Bourland associated with this family: John 's daughter Martha married the Rev William G Bourland. The Rev Wm "of Stafford co VA" was a pioneer settler in Henderson/Hopkins co KY. He helped found the oldest Baptist Church in Henderson co KY, in 1803, and his death in 1807 is the first death noted in the newly organized Hopkins co KY. The other William, as noted above, is a son of Ebenizer Bourland.The connections between the Bourlands and Lovings are so frequent that there is a breath of hope that a connection with the Slatons and Lovings may yet be found: the name Loven Slaton/Slatton appears in later east TN, SC and north AL families. This suggests a common connection back to VA for the "unconnected" southern families.

Numerous confusing entries in Will Book 5 & 6, Hopkins co, show many of the above receiving payments by William M Slaton, from the estate of Arthur Slaton , dec'd late administrator of John Slaton. In other words, John's brother Arthur Porter was named administrator of John's estate, but died, so that William M and Martin R, sons of Arthur Porter, took over.
NOTES:
Russell Stogsdell of Dallas TX kindly provides an affadavit signed by John J , aged 70, post office Harrisburg, Saline co IL, undated but certainly from 1885, stating that he has known Nancy C Jones since birth, and that he is her uncle. Further, her marriage to John W Jones is verified as Oct 28, 1847 in IL All of this is in aid of receiving a Mexican War Pension for Nancy. John W Jones had served Co G, 3rd reg IL Volunteers.
