General Notes: Husband - James Slater


He and his wife came to New York City in 1792, and in 1800 settled on a farm in Fayette township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which he cultivated. They were members of the Reformed Presbyterian church.

He was born in County Armagh, Ireland, and learned the shoemaker's trade. In 1792 he embarked on an American-bound vessel, landing first in New York City, where he followed his trade, and was married; his wife being a native of Ireland, and a fellow-voyager with Mr. Slater. In 1800 they came to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, soon afterward locating on a farm, and there lived and died. They were members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, in which he was ruling elder for many years.
