OTHER

• Sluss Reunion, July 1999
• Joan Sluss's Peter Slosser web site
• The 1815 tax assessment Wythe Co. lists Elizabeth Groseclose as owning "one farm in the Rich Valley on the North Fork of the Holston, 400 acres having thereon two dwellings of wood, two stories, 27 feet by 21 feet, one barn, one kitchen, one grist mill, all of wood, valued at $1200. (p.126)". This must be Eliz. Sluss Groseclose, a widow since 1805.
• Several members of the Sluss family were killed by Indians in the late 18th century. Hoch, Kegley & Smith, in Kimberling Church Baptismal & Cemetery Records p. 65, give a "possible" date of April 1788, "near Sharon Lutheran Church in Ceres, Va." There are several accounts:
  • A lurid account from the Southwest Virginia Enterprise
    
  • Frank Repass Brown's account
  • Jonas Huddle's account
• Elizabeth Sluss Groseclose burial site
