• Notes

  Col James Slaughter was born in Culpeper about 1732. He served as Ensign and Lieutenant in the French and Indian Wars, later Colonel of Militia. Col James Slaughter with Col Marshall and others were in the first battle the Great Bridge fought in Virginia on December 9, 1775. He was one of the Committe of Safety for Culpeper, Vestryman, Church Warden, Justice of the Peace, etc. He married Susan Clayton, daughter of Major Clayton of Catalpa and Aunt of Major Philip Clayton of the Revolutionary Army, who was one of the original members of the Society of Cincinnati. Information about The Society of the Cincinnati: The Society of the Cincinnati was founded at the close of the Revolutionary War by the officers of the Continental line and their French counterparts, who had served together in the struggle for American independence. They wished to preserve the rights and liberties for which they had fought and to foster the bonds of friendship that had been formed among them during the long years of war. The Society's founding document, the Institution, was adopted on May 13, 1783. The Society took its name from the Roman hero Cincinnatus, the citizen-soldier who was twice called to lead his country in war and, after each each victory, declined offers of power and position to return to his home and plough. George Washington, known as the "Cincinnatus of the West," was elected the Society's first president general, a position he held until his death in 1799.
