First wife was Johnny Deborah Sampley (d 1897, burial unknown). At this time, all known children from this couple are on F A G and linked below.
Second wife Nancy Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jones (d 1925) her cemetery is known but no marker yet found there, but another descendant/submitter states that her parents are also buried in the same yard with her at Mission Ridge , not the same yard as "Beauregard." See her memorial for their list of children.
Known to all as "Beauregard," his identical twin brother William D. was known as "Johns'on"" after two CSA generals who advised Jefferson Davis after the battle of Bull Run. The generals were on the same side but not always in agreement.
He and his siblings were of a generation that did not receive much (if any) schooling and were semi-literate. Beauregard appears to have favored the Slayton spelling and pronunciation, but records are not consistent. Some show as Slatton or Slatten, while others used Slaten. Beauregard had three uncles who served in the Union army, settled in Marion County, Tennessee, and favored Slatton or Slatten, and it is possible that Beauregard wished to disassociate his name from his cousins, because his father died in a prison camp as a Confederate POW when Beauregard was about three-four years old. This would be ironic if so, because the two most prominent Slaytons in post-Civil War Chattanooga Tennessee were former Union officer/engineers from Michigan, not related to this family in any way.
Beauregard and his siblings and offspring's records ranged from northwest Georgia (Cloudland, Summerville, Rossville), northeast Alabama (Ider, Henagar, Fort Payne) to Chattanooga in Hamilton County, Tennessee. The same locations apply to Beauregard's identical twin brother William Delmarine "Johns'on" Slatton.
