  • Cupit Family
    A HISTORY OF THE CUPIT FAMILY By JOHN THOMAS CUPIT ROSEPINE, LOUISIANA 1954 THE RELIANCE PRESS DE RIDDER, LOUISIANA INTRODUCTION In this story of the Cupit Family I am giving here an ex­ planaition of how you may use it with more ease as to records you may want to check. I have arranged the genealogy by chapters, using a chap­ ter for each child of the original immigrant to America. The letters and numbers herein used are for the following purpose: The letters are for the generations, namely; A-1, first gen­ eration and first person in the generation. A-2, is second person discussed in first generation. B-1 would be the first person in the second generation, and so on. The descendants are not in chronolgical order in every case. Chapter I.

  • Blind Lemon Jefferson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Blind Lemon Jefferson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Lemon Henry Jefferson Also known as Deacon L. J. Bates Born September 24, 1893[1] Coutchman, Texas, U.S. Origin Texas Died December 19, 1929 (aged 36) Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Genres Blues, gospel blues Occupation(s) Singer-songwriter, musician Instruments Guitar Years active 1900s–1929 Labels Paramount Records, Okeh Records Notable instruments Acoustic Guitar "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (born Lemon Henry Jefferson; September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues and gospel blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been called "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's performances were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and the originality on his guitar playing. Although his recordings sold well, he was not so influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists. Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style. Biography Early life Jefferson was born blind, near Coutchman in Freestone County, near present-day Wortham, Texas. He was one of eight children born to sharecroppers Alex and Clarissa Jefferson. Disputes regarding his exact birth date derive from contradictory census records and draft registration records. By 1900, the family was farming southeast of Streetman, Texas, and Lemon Jefferson's birth date is indicated as September 1893 in the 1900 census. The 1910 census, taken in May before his birthday, further confirms his year of birth as 1893, and indicated the family was farming northwest of Wortham, near Lemon Jefferson's birthplace.

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.
