The lateThomas Oliver Toles of Jeff erson City, MO had a ring with signet inevidence of thi s. (Taken from clippings nearly 100 years old from Louisville-Courier-Journal 1890' s & reprinted in the KY Explorer 2Nov 1996) There are others such as one with a dove and in Latin "Give me PEace." Court records of Middlesex County have a deed of Henry Towles bearing a wax seal of "a lion passant." (from an article online by Carol France).

     Francis Slaughter was born between 2 January 1656 and 2 April 1658 in Essex County, Virginia.^1,2 He was the son of Francis Slaughter and Elizabeth Underwood.¹ Francis Slaughter married Margaret (Gaines?) Before 1679 in Sittingbourn Parish, Rappahannock County; That Margaret Gaines was the Margaret that married Francis Slaughter circa 1679 is supposition based on an article written by by George King and publishred in Some SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, Volume 3 (by David A. Avant JR.)³ Before 1699, Francis Slaughter migrated to at Richmond County; Francis Slaughter begins to appear as a Planter and Justice in Richmond Co. Order Books in 1699.⁴ He and Margaret Hudson published a marriage bond on 11 July 1711 in Richmond County.⁵ Francis married Margaret Hudson on 2 August 1711 in Richmond.^1,6,5 Francis Slaughter died in 1718 in Richmond County.¹ He and Margaret Gaines While the identity of Francis Slaughter's first wife remains in question, it is possible that she was Margaret Gaines, daughter of Daniel Gaines. While many report that Margaret Gaines was married to Symon Miller, George King proposed that she was married to Francis Slaughter. Some list his wife as Margaret Hudson but he did not marry Margaret Hudson until well the birth of his last child. The fact that he was married to a Margaret before his majority is clear and George provided the fallowing supposition: "The Will of Daniel Gaines reads as if Margaret had already received some property from her father and this would suggest that she must then have been married. On 2 Jan. 1677/8 Francis Slaughter and Daniel Gaines, 'elected of & by the said Francis Slaughter,' joined in making a deed of land Francis had inherited from his father (Rappahannock Co., Va., Book 1677-1682, p. 21a-22a). Francis was then under age and had to have someone join with him who would be responsible if he did not subsequently clear the title when he became of full age. On 2 Apr. 1679 Francis Slaughter of SIttingbourne Parish, Rappahannock Co., planter, and Margaret his wife confirmed the previous deed(Ibid.,pp. 70a-71), and this deed of confirmation was witnessed by Danll. Gaines, Ralph Rowzie and Bernard Gaines. Here we have Francis Slaughter very closely associated with Daniel Gaines and married to a Margaret by 1679."
