Martha Alice Slaton, the last child of Captain John Slatton and Mary (Polly) Edwards was born on the 1st day of April 1817 near Big War Creek next to North Clinch Mountain in Hawkins County, Tennessee. She married Rial Johns 17 June 1836. He was born 12 December 1812 and died 11 Aug 1898. She died 21 Dec 1887.

Captain John Slatton was born 1771 near Dan River, Surry County, North Carolina. He moved with his father to 96th District which later became Greenville District, South Carolina.   John is seen in 1790s with several deed transactions then moves with his brother Edmund and sister Martha and Nancy to Hawkins, Tennessee.
20 October 1797, Greenville Deed Book E (1798-1800) page 449 Abner Norris to John Slaten Junior.
28th of December 1798, Greenville District Deed Book E (1798-1800), page 450 from George Brandon to John Slaton Jr.
14th of June 1800, Greenville District Deed Book E (1798-1800), page 445, James Askew to John Slaton Jr. All deeds along Fall Creek middle fork of the Saluda River. Mr Alton Greene states he has seen land transactions as early as June 1809 in Hawkins County, Tennessee which would be just right time period.
John served in the War of 1812.   Mustered in Bunch's Mtd Militia; also in Booths Militia 02 Mtd.
Nominated Captain 21 Dec 1813 in 4th TN Reg't and also served with Colonel Stamfer.      Pension # WC 34322, widow shows Martha A (family records states it was Mary Edwards not Martha Edwards)?
He is involved in numberous court orders between a Thomas Johnston, ranging from the date of Friday, 7th October 1814 to Tuesday 8th of April 1817 in Hawkins Court Order Books.
On 25th of Feb 1818, Hawkins County, Tennessee Deed Book 9 (1818-1819), page 76, Thomas Johnston to John Slatten (land along Big War Creek) and 19th May 1818, Hawkins County, Tennessee Deed Book 11 (1823-1831), page 131 John Bryant to John Slatten also along Big War Creek.
NOTE: on Tuesday, 6th of April 1819, Hawkins County Curcuit Court Minutes (1810-1821), page 344, John Slattin VS Eli Overton "This day came the defendant by his attorney and suggests the death of the plaintiff and by the consent of the plaintiffs council. It is ordered this suit be abated. This day came the defendant by his attorney and suggests the death of the plaintiff by consent of defendants council, it is ordered by the court that this suit be revived in the name of MARY SLATTEN, administratrix of John Slatten, deceased. So, as you can see two documents show different spouses. I suggested two different marriages to descendants but they state that Mary (Polly) Edwards is the mother of all the children.
