Former home of George Slay
town of Wyoming, Delaware
The earliest records of our Slay ancestors in the US appear in the Chesapeake Bay area in the early 18th Century. The late Emma Barrett Reeves of Nacogdoches, Texas published a book, Keahey Clansmen and Their Kin, many years ago, which included a chapter on the Slay family.
Mrs. Reeves turned over all of her Slay files to me when I was doing my research on the Slay family. Included in these files were several interesting letters from 1960s and 1970s from Mr. George Valentine Massey, II, a Slay descendant and genealogist of Dover, Delaware. I then corresponded with Mr. Massey in the 1980s. See sample of letters below.
