Solomon Slayback, Jr. 1793 - 1871 by Joyce M. Franz, a Slayback Descendant jfranz@fuse.net    Note: In addition to myself, Slayback descendants whose research contributed to the data in this narrative are: Bill Slabaugh, Deanna Holm, Bob Shannon. The Solomon Slayback buried here in Glenwood Cemetery is Solomon, Jr.  Let’s begin with his ancestors.  Solomon, Jr.’s grandfather, Dewald/Tewald “David” Slayback was born abt. 1720 in Alsace, France and died April 04, 1791 in New Jersey.  He is buried in a cemetery in the area of Mercer Co. (formerly  Middlesex Co.), Windsor Twp., New Jersey.  David is the Anglicized version of Dewald. He came to America in Sept. 1733 and settled in New Jersey.  In 1761 he  petitioned the New Jersey Colony for natural citizenship.  David had 9 children and among them was a son, Solomon, who became Solomon Slayback, Sr., father of the Solomon, Jr. buried here. Solomon, Sr. was born August 2, 1753 in Trenton, Middlesex Co., New Jersey. He married Sarah Hoagland about 1773 and they had a total of 12 children.  While living in New Jersey, Solomon, Sr. served in the American Revolutionary War of 1776.   Between 1793 and 1795, Solomon, Sr. took his wife, and 9 children at the time, and moved westward to Lexington, Fayette Co., KY, along with his brother William, and Martin Hoagland, a carpenter, probably Sarah's brother.  We can narrow the time to this 2 year span because  his 9th child, Solomon, Jr. was born in New Jersey August 8, 1793 and his 10th child was born December 30, 1795 in Fayette County, Kentucky. His last two children were also born in Fayette County, Kentucky. At some time, Solomon, Sr. crossed the Ohio River and moved into Hamilton County, Ohio.  He died in 1814 in Hamilton Co., OH and is buried in St. Mary’s (Springdale Presbyterian) Cemetery, Rt. 4 (Springfield Pk.) and Cameron, Springdale, Hamilton Co., OH  Now to Solomon, Jr., who is buried here.  We know from the "Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War of 1812," Published Under Authority of Law by The Adjutant General of Ohio, 1916, page 395, Vol 1, that Solomon served in the War of 1812.  He is listed on the Roll of Capt. William T. Cullum's Company. (County unknown.)  Served from September 4, 1813, until March 2, 1814... Sergt, Solomon Slayback.  Solomon’s wife, Ella is buried here also, but she is his second wife. His first marriage was to Phoebe Day and was solemnized April 16, 1818, in Hamilton County, Ohio. Phoebe was born about 1794 and died January 25, 1819, in Butler Co., Ohio. She is buried in the same cemetery as her father-in-law, St. Mary’s (Springdale Presbyterian) Cemetery, Rt. 4 (Springfield Pk.) and Cameron, Springdale, Hamilton Co., OH.  We believe Solomon and Phoebe may have had at least one child, a son.  We have no information on this child, except that he was a son.  He survived, because no child of Solomon and Phoebe’s is buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery.  I have visited the cemetery, walked it and checked their records. On December 21, 1820, in Butler County, OH, Solomon married his second wife, Ella “Elly” House. She was born December 26, 1800, in Madison Co., Virginia.  Solomon and Elly had a total of 9 children. According to the 1830 census, Solomon and his family were living in Eaton, Washington Township, Preble Co., OH.   In December of 1835 he began purchasing land in Illinois.  By the time the 1840 census was enumerated, he and his family were living in Madison Co., Illinois, Ridge Prairie Precinct. They may have moved there when he began purchasing land in 1835, but I don’t know. In 1850, 1860 and 1870 he is enumerated in the census in Collinsville, Madison Co., Illinois.  Elly died December 1871 and was buried here in Glenwood Cemetery on December 26, 1871.  Solomon followed within a week, dying also in December 1871 and buried 5 days after Elly, on December 31, 1871.  Descendants of Solomon Slayback, Jr.                 1  Solomon SLAYBACK, Jr.           b: August 08, 1793 in New Jersey                     d: December 1871 in Collinsville, Madison Co.,  Illinois   Burial: December 31, 1871 Glenwood Cemetery, Collinsville, Madison Co., Illinois .       +Phoebe DAY              b: Abt. 1794           m: April 16, 1818 in Hamilton Co., Ohio            d: January 25, 1819 in Butler Co., Ohio   Burial: January 1819 St. Mary's (Springdale Presbyterian) Cemetery, Rt. 4 (Springfield Pk.) and Cameron, Springdale, Hamilton Co., OH   ...........     2              son SLAYBACK  b: Abt.
