I am trying to find information on the Moody, Slatton, or Conner Families from Jackson County. Daniel N. Moody was born about 1838 and married Nancy A. Slatton in 1862. Nancy Slatton was born 2-14-1844. Their son, Daniel Galveston Moody (born 3-1-1877) married Bessie Conner on 1-16-1898. I have been told that Bessie's father was possibly named Frank and her mother was R.C. Conner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently went to our ancestor's grave in Jackson County,NC. The tombstone reads " Nancy A. Slaton, wife of Daniel V. Moody, February 14, 1843- October 25, 1939."

Beside her stone was Nancy Sauls (maiden name) Slaton 1811-1888. Her husband was John Slaton. He was the son of William Slatton and Sarah Honey. I was told John was buried here as well, but I could not find a marker, still looking though.

William Raleigh Moody (note the middle name)Nov. 5 1870 -May 3 1944, my great-grandfather, was Daniel Galveston's brother.

I believe I have info on Daniel's parents, waiting on documentation. His father, possibly Martin Moody and Lucinda Laura Nicholson. I will send you particulars when I verify it.

I also have Nancy's lineage in the form of a book being sent to me. I'll give more info later.

Here's a sideline, I recently heard from someone that Daniel left Nancy and children and raised another family in Georgia and that's where he is buried. I have a lead on that.

NOTE: Our Slaton ancestor is John Sladden. The name has often been changed or misspelled to these common forms:Slatten, Slatton, Slaton, and Slayton.

Tony,

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the information. I have been at a dead end for the longest time. By the way, what was the name of the cemetery? I would love to go visit there myself. If you want, you can e-mail me directly.
Thanks again!!!

Nancy Slatton's parents were John Slatton, a farmer, who was born 1802
in Pendleton, SC. He was the son of William Slatton and Sarah Honey.
He married Nancy Sauls, born 1806 in South Carolina.
John died in Tuckaseegee, Jackson, NC and was buried Baptist Church
Cemetery, Tuckaseegee, Jackson, NC. His wife, Nancy Sauls Slatton, died
in 1888 in Tuckaseegee, Jackson, NC and is burried in Baptist Church
Cemetery, Tuckaseegee, Jackson, NC.

Their children were:

1) James Slatton, served in CSA, b. 1831 in Pickens, SC. He married a
Martha, born in 1835. James died 24 Aug. 1864 in Petersburg, VA. (It
sounds like he may have been killed in the Civil War)

2) Susannah (Susan) Slatton, b. 1832 in Pickens, SC.

3) Martha Slatton, b. 1833 in Pickens, SC.

4) Warren D. Slatton, CSA, b. 1835 in Pickens, SC. Died 29 June 1862
in Petersburg, VA. (Sounds like another son lost in the War)

5) Jeptha P. Slatton, Corporal, b. 1839.

6) John Slatton, CSA, b. 30 March 1841, d. 28 May 1906.

7) Nancy Slatton, b. 14 Feb. 1843, d. 25 Oct. 1939.

8) Dyre Tally Slatton (male), b. 2 May 1846, d. 13 March 1935.

9) Eliza Slatton, b. 1848 in Tuckaseegee, Jackson, NC.

10) Catherine Slatton, b. 1853 in Tuckaseegee, Jackson, NC. Married
Joab Woodring.

Tony: I am Naomi Hooper Green of Anchorage, AK, a native of Jackson Co., NC. Read your response on Nancy Slatten. Can you tell me if she is any relation of Dyre T. (Richard) Slatten b. May 1846 in SC, married Sarah J. Hooper. I have him the son of Jackson "Jackie" Slatten and Nancy Sauls, both born in SC. I have Nancy in my computer with, I believe, a different birth date. Not sure.
Could Jackson Slatten have been John Slatten. Jack was sometimes a nickname for John.

Daniel VanBuren Moody b 1838 married Nancy Ann Slatton. I have her death certificate, large family picture with Nancy. I have her obituary. I have pictures of her tombstone as well as her mother's. Death certificates for 3 of her children. I have Nancy's Application for pension for Daniel's Civil War service., his father(Martin) and grandfathers's Wills (Daniel). Some of these records were published by the Jackson County Genealogical Society mayby 2 years ago, along with Descendants of Daniel and Nancy, which I contributed. My Aunt Thelma Monteith married Frank Moody, grandson of Nancy's son John Thomas Moody (1863-1953)
Good Luck!

Nancy Ann Slatton Moody's death certificate list Jackie Slatton as Father and Nancy Sauls as Mother. A Book The Descendants of William and Abraham Slatton of Virginia does list John Slatton as Nancy's father.

Dear Betty Andrews, Jeffery Rice of Illinois is related to the Slattons of Jackson County, NC and he did a very comprehensive family tree that traces the first Slatton (maybe the first?!) in our family line to live in America - JOHN Slatton b. 1670 who is the great-great-great grandfather of Nancy Ann Slatton. NANCY ANN Slatton is the sister of DICK Slatton - he is my great-great grandfather. Are you related to the Slattons ?
Would you like a copy of Jeffery Rice' family tree research?

P.S. Jeffery Rice is my mother's cousin's son - that makes him my second-cousin-once-removed!!!

In reference to posting by Kathy Hass, my 2nd/7th cousin,concerning Slatton/Slatten generations of Jackson County, NC, I have to give large credit to research done by Dixie Gallaher of Lexington, KY. The majority of my Slatton knowledge is thanks to research done by Dixie and others. Thanks.

Hi Kathy Hass,
I would be pleased to get anything about the Slatton family of Jackson Co. I would be most interested in adding your Dick Slatton's family data. The research I did was for Daniel V. Moody and Nancy Ann Slatton's descendant. I have exchanged data with Dixie Gallaher and know about the Slaton Book.
Thanks Betty
