Slavens, Bruce Slaven, Paul J. Slavens, John H. Slavens, the late Gen. Thomas H. Slavens, Mrs. Raymond Wat son and many others. This genealogy of the descendants of John Slaven of Tyrone County, Ireland, has been compiled over a period of many years by many persons. Very little is known of the descendants of four of his children: William, Elizabeth Naomi and Daniel. The sources of information have been family Bibles, "More Irish Families" by Edward Mac Lysaght, "Irish Fam ily Names" by O'Connor and Kelly, "Irish Pedigrees" by John O'Hart, "History of Highland County" by Morton, "History of Pocohontas County" by Price, The Encyclopedia Brittanica, re cords of Augusta County, Virginia, books of Augusta County, Virginia Courts, records of Bath County, Virginia, records of the War Department, records of the Pension Office, lists of Revoluntionary Soldiers of Virginia, the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy by Frederick Adams Virkus and Cemeterial Records. All descendants of John Slavens born in Tyrone Coun ty, Ireland in 17 23 and who came to America in 1740 and died at his home "Meadowdale" in the Meadowdale Community, near Vander- pool, Va. in 1802, are eligible by descent to membership in the D.A.Ro and the S.A.R. 3 THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHN SLAVIN FROM COUNTY TYRONE, IRELAND AND ELIZABETH STUART FROM SCOTLAND ORIGIN OF THE NAME The name is from the Irish word, Sliabh, meaning mountain. The earliest spelling of the name was O'Sleibhin. The Hearth Money Rolls (a list of Hearth Tax Payers) for County Armagh, County Donegal, County Tyrone, lists the following spelling of the name 0'Slavin, O'Sleavin, O'Sleivan, O'Slevin, O'Slammon, O'Sclevin, Slamon, Slavin, Slevine and Slevin. The first anglicization of the name, Sleiven or Slieven, appears in the names of certain mountains in Ireland, Viz.: Slievanamuck, Slievenanee and Slievensnaught; this last name meaning Snow Mountain. The O'SLEVIN FAMILY is listed as one of the ancient clans and the Slevin family descended from COLLA DA CHRIOCH, one of the very early Irish Kings. Many members of the family in Medieval times were Bards and Poets. Sliabh, meaning Mountain, is the name of a branch of the CENEL EOGHAIN, famous in Medieval times as Poets. This name was established in the 7th century and means Upper Most. Gerard Slevin is the present Chief Herald of Ire land. O'SLEIBHIN, the Chief Bard of Ulster in the reign of MALACHY, King of Ulster, was one of the leaders in the rebel lions against BRIAN BORU, King of Ireland from 959-1014. The Chief Bard of Ulster during the reign of O'Neil, King of Ulster, in the year 1168 was GIOLLA COMGHAILL O'SLEIBHIN. One book that tells of the origin and antiquity of the name is "More Irish 4 Families" by Edward Mac Lysaght, published and printed in the Re public of Ireland by 0'Gorman, Ltd., Galway, Ireland. Another book is "Irish Family Names" copyrighted in 1939 by O'Connor and Kelly, Chicago, Illinois. This book shows a picture of, and describes the Coat-of-Arms for the family. Another book is "Irish Pedigrees" by John O'Hart, published in 1923. Volume I áiows the Coat-of-Arms for the family. The Motto: "An Uachter" is on the Coat-of-Arms and means "Foremost". The Coat-of-Arms was granted to Hanraghan and to his son Sliabhan, anglicized Slevin and Slaven. The following is from Burkes "General Ar mory": 0'Hanraghan A Sept formerly of note in Tipperary County deriving their surname from Anrachana, Chief of the Sept. The same Coat-of-Arms is given by Paul Murtaugh in his book "Your Irish Coat-of-Arms." Japhet, the oldest and favorite of the three sons of Noah, had fifteen sons. Parthalon, one of his sons, settled Ireland 2153 years before Christ and 300 years after the flood. Fen- iusa Farsa, a great-grandson of Japhet, devised the sixteen letter alphabet for the Gaelic language, the first written lan guage in the world. Gaelic is the language of Eden and is the oldest of 3642 languages spoken in the world. Shem and Ham attempted to build the Tower of Babel 140 years after the flood and their language became confused into 7 2 languages. The pio neer immigrant to America spelled his name "SLAVIN". His chil dren changed the spelling to SLAVEN. Some of his sons, Isaiah being one of them, added the "s", making the spelling "SLAVENS". Some of the descendants in Virginia and West Virginia of the 5th and 6th generation have changed the spelling back to the original S LA. VIN, while other members of the same family spell it SIAVEN. The first member of this Irish family to come to America was: JOHN SLAVIN (J) who was born in County Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland in 1723 and came to America, landing in New York City in 1740 at the age of 17 years. It is thought that John's father and probably two brothers came with him. He died in 1802 at his home "Meadowdale" in the Meadowdale Community near Vanderpool in Highland County, Virginia. He was of the Presbyterian faith and by trade, in Ireland, a weaver. John obtained work in Philadelphia as a weaver. He moved from there to Rockingham County, Va. and settled on Cooks Creek near Clinton, not far from Staunton, Va. in what is now Augusta County, Virginia. He later moved to what is now Highland County, Va. (elevation 3,350 feet) in 1777 near the head waters of Jack son's River and settled on land now known as the Meadowdale Com munity near Vanderpool, Va., and near what is now Monterey, Va. Highland County was formed in 1847 from Pendleton County and Bath County, and given its name from its mountains. The area around Monterey is known as "Little Switzerland" on account of the beau tiful scenery. The name originaged in 1930 from a column in the Highland Recorder, a paper published then by Mr. & Mrs. H. B. Wood at Monterey, Va. The Monterey mountains were thought to be impassable until 17 64, when a French Surveyor named John Vander pool discovered the Vanderpool Gap. He said there was a range of mountains to the West (The Alleghanies) that no one would ever cross. John Slavin and family were the third family to pass through the gap. John Slavin's descendants still own and live on 6 land in the Meadowdale Community near Vanderpool, Va. where he built the home known as "Meadowdale" in 1777. A part of this land is from an original grant of King George III, and a part (thirty acres) is a grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1783 and is signed by Beverly Randolph, Governor. The founda tion lines of the first home (Log House) build in the Meadowdale Community, near Vanderpool, Va., about one mile north of the home "Meadowdale", can still be traced. John Slavin married Eliza beth Stuart in Staunton, Va. in 1748. She was born in Scotland in 1726 and came to America in 1746 from Scotland, along with her father, Daniel Stewart and other members of the Stuart family coming over at that time and landing in Baltimore, Maryland. Elizabeth (Betty) Stuart came to America probably as an indentured s ervant. Her father, Daniel Stewart, was born in Scotland and died in Sussex County, Delaware in 1774. He was the son of John Stuart and the grandson of Dr. John Stuart who had come to America earlier. He died in the winter of 1704-05 in Sussex County, Delaware. He had seven children: Samuel, David, John, Elizabeth, William, Hannah and Mary. The first Stuart in Scot land was Alan, son of Flaald. Alan was a Cadet in the Courts of Dol and Denan, Kings of Brittany. His first son was made the Great Stewart of Brittany by Dol, the King. His second son, William Fitz-Alan, was the Ancestor of the Earls of Arundel and Dukes of Norfolk. His third son, Walter Fitz-Alan, received from King David I, the office of the Great Stewart of Scotland and was the Progenitor of the House of Stewart. The eight children of Daniel Stewart were: 1. Elizabeth (Betty) born in 17 26 in Scotland. She came to America in 1746 at Balti more, Maryland and married John Slavin at Staunton, Va. in 1748. She died in 1795 in Highland County, Va. at Meadowdale, near Van derpool, Va. She and John Slavin and two of their children (Com fort Higgins and Naomi Galferd) are buried at Meadowdale, Va., settled by John Slavin in 1777. They had ten children. 2.

Martha (Patty). Martha Stuart Elliot married Major James Stephens. He was Presi dent of the US Branch Bank at Savannah, Georgia. It was the second marriage for both. Sarah, John and Martha were born in America. John Slavin died in 180 2 at Meadowdale, near Vanderpool, Va., and he and his wife, Elizabeth (Betty) Stuart, who died in 1795 at Meadowdale, and daughters, Comfort Higgins and Naomi Galferd, are buried in the family burial ground on land then owned by him, about four miles south-west of the Meadowdale Com munity on State Highway 84, and about two miles east of the High way. His home, known as "Meadowdale" is two miles west of Van derpool, Va., which is four miles south-west of Monterey, Va. on 8 U.S. Highway 220. Monterey is at the inter-section of U.S.High way routes 220 & 250, which are 8-14 miles to Pendleton County and Pocohontas County, West Virginia respectively. The graves of John Slavin and Elizabeth (Betty) Stuart Slavin are marked with a granite marker. A granite headstone was placed there as a Memo rial by Gen. Thomas H. Slavens in 1938. A large Ash tree has grown up since his burial and the foot stone is imbedded in its roots. There are four headstones close by and down the mountain, westward, about one hundred feet are two other headstones, all red sandstone markers. The inscriptions cannot be read now. John Slavin was a pioneer, founder and patriot. His sons served in the Revolutionary War and his sons and grandsons in all subse quent wars. He enlisted July 15, 1746 in Sussex County, Delaware, in King George's II War. (Delaware Military Archives, Volumn I page 5, Company of Foot, commanded by Captain John Shannon). His age was listed as 24, birth place, Tyrone County, Ireland, and occupation, Weaver. He signed his name John Slevin. Hiw Will is in the Circuit Court at Warm Springs, Bath County, Virginia. It is dated July 31, 1802. His name is spelled John Slaven and John Slavens. He made Bullets and Gun Powder for the Revolutionary War. He also made lime, charcoal and melted iron ore. The John Slavin family Bible brought from Scotland is still in the hands of his descendants. The Bible has been handed down through Stewat Slaven-9-J-, then to Reuben Slaven-2-9-J, then to Stuart Crawford Slaven-3-2-9-J-, then to Howard Hull Slaven-2-3-2-9-J-. A daugh ter of Howard Hull Slaven-2-3-2-9-J- had the Bible in 1962. It was brought to this country by Elizabeth (Betty) Stuart and her father Daniel Stewart, and other members of her family. The earliest 9 entry in the Bible is 17 51. It contains ten names of his children and dates of birth to include: Reuben-7-J- born July 10, 17 63, "on a Sunday morning". The names of some of the later children cannot now be traced, the ink having faded. The time of day of birth was given as above. The Bible is covered with Deerskin, killed and tanned on the place.

Born March 18, 1831 in the Owl Creek Community in Pike County, Ohio. Married Rachel Taylor Oct. 30, 1856. He was a private in Co. E 33rd Ohio Infantry. He was one of the 22 soliders led by James J. Andrews, a Union Spy of Flemingsburg, Ky., and another civilian, who, by direction of General Mitchell, penetrated nearly 200 miles south in the enemy's territory and captured a railroad train. This train consisted of three freight cars and two passenger coaches. James J. Andrews was a Union Spy who had been trading in Quinine behind the Confederate lines, and the 91 other civilian who also was a Union Spy, and 20 Ohio Volun teers all in civilian clothes, boarded the train at Marietta, Georgia, early in the morning of Saturday April 12, 1862, and when the train stopped for a twenty minute breakfast at Big Shanty, now Kenesaw, Georgia, in the Lacy Hotel, James J. Andrews disconnected the two passenger coaches and stole the locomotive and three freight cars. The purpose was to burn the tracks and bridges between Atlanta and Chattanooga, but a heavy rain the night before, and an all day rain prevented this. The locomotive of this train, called "The General" is the depot at Chattanooga, Tennessee. William Fuller, a Confederate Officer, was the Conductor in charge of the train. He pursued the train on foot for two miles, then on a hand car, then in a freight engine called "The Texas", running backwards. When the "General" ran out of steam, the raiders took to the woods where they were eventually captured. The locomotive "The Texan" is in the depot at Atlanta, Georgia. The story was made into a movie called "The Great Locomotive Chase", and into an exciting book called "Wild Train". James J. Andrews was hanged at Atlanta,Georgia on June 7, 186 2. Samuel Slavens and six others were hanged at Atlanta, Georgia on June 18, 186 2. At the first attempt to hang Samuel the rope broke. On the second attempt they dug around his feet so he would hang free. He was supposed to have been well over six feet tall. His last words were: "My wife, my children". He and the other seven were buried in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga, Tennessee, around a monument with a replica of "The General" on top. Eight prisoners escaped from the prison and six others were 92 exchanged. His Congressional Medal of Honor was given to his wife. This was the first time the Medals were ever awarded to anyone other than Navy Personel. After twelve years, Rachel Slavens was given a twelve dollar a month pension, retroactive to the date of Samuel Slavens death. Three children. 5. John Slavens-5-2-7-J-.
