I found in the Tazewell Co., VA 1850 census records:
Henry Sluss age 70 with sons James age 18 and John age 16.It is very possible that Henry did have children after 50....supposedly James and John were sons of Betsey Coleman who died giving birth to John for in the 1840 census of Tazewell there is no mention of a female, only Henry Sluss and 2 sons - James & John.What I have on Henry:
b: c 1796 Wythe Co VA / d: ? - m - Sarah ? sometime in 1810 had a daughter 1815 named (?) Mary M. Sluss
Henry is the s/o James David Sluss b: 1767 Wythe Co., VA d: Buckners Ridge, Dungammon VA married #1 Jane Thompson and #2 Ann Carter
Henry is the s/o James David Sluss b: 1767 Wythe Co., VA d: Buckners Ridge, Dungammon VA married #1 Jane Thompson and #2 Ann CarterGrandson of Frederick/Jared Sluss b: c 1740 Germany who married Christina ? .... their children - Mary M. Sluss, James David, Elizabeth b? 1766 / d: 1855, Henry, Rufus, Catherine, John Peter, Laura, Polly Ann, Susannah and Marion.*Elizabeth and Catherine were the 2 older daughters.
