The Slack-Melton reunion will be held June 7, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. at Knox Park, Slack Road, Athens, TN.
This year there will be special singing from the Stephen Slack family of LaFayette, GA. We are hoping that there are others who will bring their musical instruments and will participate in singing also.
Please bring covered dishes and drinks to share. Paper products and ice will be provided.
Relatives are asked to bring family genealogy information, old Bibles, pictures and keepsakes to show. We would love to see old handmade crafts such as quilts and musical instruments.
In the mid 1830s three Slack brothers from Loudon County, Va., came to McMinn County, TN to settle here -- Abraham, Ephraim and Samuel W. Slack, sons of Tunis Slack. Ephraim died shortly after establishing a cotton mill in 1836, leaving three small sons -- Abraham, Henry and John -- which Abraham raised alone.
Three of Samuel W. and Sarah Reed Slack's sons married three Melton sisters, the daughters of John and Nancy Kelly Melton. Samuel P. Slack married Eliza Jane Melton; James Henry married Sarah Catherine Melton; and William J. Harrison Slack married Mary Louise Melton. All Slack and Melton descendants are encouraged to attend.
