    1.JOHN ALEXANDER SLEETH

    John Alexander Sleeth was born in Scotland about 1727 and died in Harrison County VA prior to September 20, 1794, when his widow, Mary Ann (Wallace) Sleeth, appeared in court and had George Jackson qualify as administrator of her husband's estate. The Harrison county court on October 20, 1795, entered an order noting the death of "John Sleeth, a justice".

    John married Mary Ann Wallace in Scotland about 1746. Mary was born about 1730. The couple left Renfrew county, Scotland and arrived in America in 1748. John located in Orange and Fredrick counties, VA. He appeared November 22, 1766, in Fredricksburg, VA as a court witness and recieved pay for such service, as well as for walking seventy-eight miles from Orange county to attend court.

    Two of John's sons left VA and came to Buckhannon in 1768. John followed his sons and settled on Hackers Creek in present day Lewis County in 1770.

    On July 20, 1784 in the Harrison county court, John Sleeth, Sr. was commissioned to celebrate the rites of matrimony and was recommended to the governor for appointment to the office of magistrate.

    The widow, Mary Ann (Wallace) Sleeth, married November 23, 1796, to Charles Parsons. She and her two husbands are believed to be buried in and old cemetary near Jackson's Mill.
