SLAYBACK, SOLOMON DAVID (Hamilton County) [39.28052 -84.48529]
Born in 1752 to parents David (1729-1791) and Ann Huff (1723-1801) Slayback. He served as a Soldier with the New Jersey, Middlesex County Militia. Solomon lived in Windsor Township, Middlesex Co., NJ. He married Sarah Hoagland (1756-1828); children: Abel and Solomon. Solomon died on April 28, 1814 and buried at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Plot C309, Springfield Pike and Cameron Road, Springdale, Springdale Township, Hamilton Co., OH 45246. Cemetery notes and/or description: The Springdale Presbyterian Church acquired 2 ½ acres in 1801 at the current intersection of Route 4 and Cameron Rd. The purpose of the purchase was to construct a church and cemetery. In 1833, although the church moved to a different location, the cemetery remained at this location. In 1987, the Springdale Presbyterian Church transferred the ownership of the property to the City of Springdale. The cemetery had fallen into disrepair and neglect, since the church did not have the funds to properly maintain it. The city began a long restoration process, often bringing in Scouts to help clean and restore the site. The Public Works Department employees repaired and reset many stones. Although the cemetery is small in comparison it is the final resting place for (9) Revolutionary War veterans, (12) Civil War veterans, and (1) World War I veteran. Ref.

He has a tombstone and is buried next to his wife Sarah.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
