The Ancestors of Rebekah and Shelby Slayton

Through the hills of North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia and through the valleys of Ohio and Pennsylvania, I have found many HAWKS, MEADOWS, HAGER, PRITT, OWENS, WALTON, SLAYTON, along with many other surnames, that we are proud to call our own.

I hope that the information that you find on this site helps you to uncover the mystery of your ancestors. If you have any questions or if you would like to share additional information, PLEASE send me an e-mail.
