Family:John Slafter and Priscilla Hovey (1)

Very late in his life, a few years after his first wife (and mother of his children) had passed away, John Slafter married the half-sister of his former wife, who was herself a widow. He was 76 years old, and she was 64. He died four years later, at age 80, while she lived almost 28 more years after his passing, to age 96.
