Picture of Rowan Slater

[SSlater]

Here are some details, in anticipation of probable questions.
- Rowan was born 1835, married Sarah in 1861 - he 26, she 18.
- He was 5'-1" tall. Sarah was less.
- Rowan joined the Confed. Army, as a musician.
- He wrote a letter to his brother, in New York, from Albemarle, County, VA. in Sept. 1881. in which he said that his health was bad.
- I researched a Will,dated April 1882, in which he was the Executor. But it was noted thereon, that Rowan was deceased. Thus, he died between Sept 1881 and April 1882, @47 yrs old.
- I am concerned about this pic. He appears almost "dwarfish". (large head, stubby arms, etc.)
I don't see a wedding ring. (Divorce was 1866).
This pic is a very new addition to the family tree. Descendants, that I talked to, did not know of its existence. I'll hunt around to see where it came from.
It is a very exciting addition to the overall research.
