Some have tried to connect this family to the first of the name Slaughter to arrive in Virginia, a John Slaughter, who had sons named William, Francis, and Richard. DNA marker evidence has proven this relationship to be untrue. Some have also tried to connect this family to a Robert Slaughter of Virginia, unrelated to both this Slaughter family and that of the first John Slaughter, and this too has been proven untrue.
