John, "The Immigrant", Slaughter |
To Jamestown VA on the "George", sponsored by Lt Albiano Lupo |
Lt. Albiano Lupo claimed John Slaughter as a headright in his patent, 1 Sept., 1624, for 350 acres in the Corporation of Elizabeth City. This implies that John was an indentured servant |

John and Margaret Slaughter |
Married, Jamestown, James City, Virginia |
Was John's second marriage. His first wife, Ann, died before 1629. It is possible that she is the biologic mother of Captain Francis Slaughter, but if you believe the birth and death dates, Margaret is the biologic mother. |
