Also, discussed are other Slagles living in proximity during the late 1700s, the locale and historical era in Western MD. There are photographs, letters, documents as well as interesting stories such as Indian encounters, an elopement and an exorcism. Many of the 12 children migrated to Ohio and are listed in the second part of the book.

The second part: Descendants of Jacob Slagle, (b.1740-d.1800, VA) gives vital data on over 4400 names, with many notes and some photographs. This part contains a printout of the descendants of Jacob, and lists the ancestors of each descendant back to Jacob beside his or her name. It is organized by a chapter for each child of Jacob's.
