My Sluder family is concentrated mainly in Buncombe Co., N.C.
They decended down from Johann Schluter b. prior to 1700 in Prussia,
who migrated to the US into Philadelphia, Pa back in 1753 with his son, Johann or (Henry).
The Schluter name was changed to Sluder sometime shortly after arriving in the US.
Johann's son, Henry Sluder married a Mary Elizabeth Clark in Philadelphia, Pa. Later the
Sluder family and others migrated south via the "Great Philadelphia Wagon Road" to the
Rowan County area of N.C. then later part of the family migrated westward into Buncombe
County, N.C.
